First off, I have no idea.
Most contemporary feminism employs deconstructive strategies which are not easily understood.
My worry is that once you define gender as an arbitrary social construct, the labeled group suffering under marginalization cannot command a re-domination of the other without becoming that, the masculine. Instead the tactic is to clown, mimic and parody the relationship, to throw stones at the tanks, to point to absurdities-- but all this hardly masses power for the subjugated. It's a circus of confusion.
The tension between rallying around a marginalized position and achieving political solidarity and the destructive impulse to dismantle that which provides the basis for opposition makes, in practice, the tactics internally contradictory.

nothing is irrefutable. although, you could clarify your question a little.
If I even half-understand your question.....
Feminism is the death of 'the niceities' men do for women.
Open your own doors, pull your own car around in the rain, stand while the man sits on the subway train.....things of that nature. You probably don't want to see those things done away with, and neither do I.
I'm all for things being equal, but they really aren't and never will be, no matter what changes or doesn't change.
If I can cite an example from my life.... I pass a guy pulled over with a flat tire on the highway. He's getting out of his car to fix it. Do I stop to help? No. He's capable and I wouldn't insult his manhood trying to help him when he can do it himself just fine.
Replace that guy with an older woman, or pregnant woman.... I'd stop in a heartbeat BECAUSE of who SHE is..... If that's sexist, well, so be it.

I think feminism was just a ploy by the patriarchy...it got women doing all the housework, as well as caring for the kids and doing full time work...in effect women now do the majority of unpaid labour, caring for elderly relatives, kids and still doing all the housework...as well as free sex...

You can't have it all. Women want family and career. Some men try to help with household stuff but are simply not suited for it.

I don't think there are any "irrefutable" arguements against feminism.
