Why feminism is ruining relationships more than empowering women?

Is it just me or you also observe that many females who are (so-called) feminists try to show that they don't need men and ruin the relationship with their partners?
I am not against feminism, but this isn't going in right direction.

I am probably a modern feminists nightmare. Im submissive through choice to my husband in all areas and I'm 100% certain we are both thriving in a very strong marriage. Clearly defined roles work for us - we both know what's required of us and I feel that there's a greater sense of love, safety and protection in a marriage where the man is leading, provided you can fully depend that all the decisions he makes are in your best interests. I wanted to give the view that feminism should be about promotion of female choice, not smashing any input or control of men in your life and this is still a choice that makes some women very happy.

@SW-User This is what I usually mean by people not understanding feminism. Feminism is about the empowerment for women to make their own choices. You seem to have it right. It's not as much about the choices made as the ability to make them.

You have chosen a lifestyle that makes you happy and you are living by it. You have the power and ability to change your mind tomorrow if you so wish. You have the power and ability to continue as you are. You have the choice.

You are also not trying to tell other women how they should be living. That your path is best for all of them.

A good feminist advocates for the power of choice and equity, and then respects the choices made.

Dictating a different lifestyle is not really empowerment. It's just reorganizing the social structure of who is making the rules. That isn't actually feminism in my eyes.
