No, feminists are annoying because the most vocal ones take a simplistic rather literal view of equality, which is a distortion of the more nuanced truth behind the ideology.

Men and women have clear differences which should be celebrated. This means men and women can never be literally equal.

It so happens that women are significantly over represented in nursing. It is not obvious that fighting this imbalance is worth the effort.

In the Netherlands, this difference is actually part of the typical school curriculum, in what I guess is called 'civics' in English. 'Gelijk' vs. 'gelijkwaardig', which translates roughly to 'identical' vs. 'equal'.
