I don't think so. You can't really equate the two statements without taking into context history of discrimination and misogyny. It's like saying "white only" is the same as "black only"; former is allusion of racism, while the latter is in direct response of that discrimination. While it's obviously political pandering I don't consider her statement is that of sexism.
I never understood this "two wrongs make a right" logic. How does one fight racism with racism? Or sexism with sexism? Or fight for equality by preaching inequality?
It's a fundamental piece of common sense gone wrong. Furthermore, it's blatantly divisive rhetoric.
I hate feminazis but saying women are equal to men even in today progressive society is just plain ignorant. You don't have to look farther than the fact we have a president who openly mocked women for well, being female and bragged about grabbing pussies.
Actually, you do have to look further than that. If you don't research and learn things for yourself, you will be exploited for your ignorance (e.g. falling for a strawman).
Initially I believed Trump did these things as well when I was a Berniebro. I did some research on politics for once and found out I was being exploited for my ignorance (being made to think Trump did things he hasn't done).
One example of said ignorance: Trump never bragged about grabbing pussies. Trump bragged about women letting him grab their pussies. For someone who's all about context, you're great at taking things out of context with laser-focus.
