"I believe women ought to have the same opportunities and chances in life as men." I sounds like we're on the same page.
I know The Feminists, like most other large groups (e.g.: online fandoms :p), can't all agree on anything (and differing personal experience can't be helped), but I still find the apparent denial of the whole movement kinda frightening.
Somehow, highly visible things like Elizabeth Sexing Up Jack on screen (in a record-breaking summer blockbuster), and the extremely positive response it gets from folks like those in the J/E crowd, make me fear that your worst case scenario (the "return to the way they were") is being sought out by younger generations. (Yes, I'm paranoid.)
I hope that PotC#3 will somehow force the issue - show explicitly that Sexing Up Jack was a bad move on Elizabeth's part, a move that has consequences for her. And I wonder how the J/E crowd will respond to that, if it happens. It should prove interesting (J/E crowd response, that is) whatever happens in #3.
