to think that women are their own worst enemies when..

[petitmort]

it comes to achieving equal treatment, respect and status with men?

I'm thinking olympic beach volleyball for starters

Women are their own worst enemies when they attack or belittle other women for their harmless choices..
Magazines with pages dedicated to pointing out other women's flaws come to mind.
The greatest achievement in feminism is allowing women to have freedom of choice and expression. eg women CAN vote but they don't have to. We CAN work but we don't have to. We can wear dresses, bakinis, trousers, whatever..
Men (or women) finding women attractive is not sexist or anti-feminist it's natural. Women feeling comfortable playing a beach game in beach wear is a non-issue imo. They are not being forced to wear those outfits- that would be an issue..
