They sure love to pitch men against women and vice versa deliberately to silence worker rights movements and they're doing it in more ways than most people are willing to admit. Ask them to close the gender pay gap and a neoliberal will tell you about their women quota and how they placed a woman in a "leading" position (she has no power and didn't get a raise) and how progressive they are already. Ask them for a raise and a neoliberal will tell you how women have it worse than you. You're right in a way of course. It's a convenient diversion for them and nothing more.
Back when I lived in Britain and participated in the comments section of The Guardian, I had a local "Feminist" literally tell me that it was more important to flatten the 23% difference in income between the cleaning lady and the night watchman than to flatten the 30,000% difference in income between both of them and the CEO.
That very same crown generally focused on "breaking the glass ceiling" (i.e. get upper middle class and upper class women such as themselves into those 300x minimum wage positions) and I have never once read a concrete suggestion about addressing the gender inequality for the poorer social classes.
That last box of the meme matches exactly my own experience with "Modern Feminists" in Britain.
(Mind you, I lived in other countries and also met older Feminists and they're generally different and their version of Feminism is actually Egalitarian, though I've seen some young women were I live mindlessly ape this Anglo-Saxon neoliberal "Feminism").
