What Exactly is the Feminist Ideal?

I'm thoroughly confused. One one hand, we have an expressed desire for no gender in the world and on the other, we have an agenda to push gendered language. What exactly is the feminist/liberal's true ideal? This is one I'm having trouble understanding without some help.

    They don't realize it, but they're actually living their true ideal now--liberated enough that they can participate fully in society, but oppressed enough that they can still complain.

    Madhousewife - your comment had me laughing longer and louder than I have for awhile. Thanks for that. I suspect it has even more truth than humor in it.
