Postmodernism was a key part of the liberal feminism. When they said "women are smart enough to do this too" that was postmodern.

No. We were doing well & then the postmodern shift happened & disempowered feminism.
-
I have written about this shift. My mother was a second wave feminist active in opening up professional qualifications to women in 60s & 70s
-
The postmodern shift that began when intersectionality, queer theory, post-colonialism & critical race theory took off sent it off track.
-
See to me those were all key social developments, even if some people have done them less well than others.
-
They moved away from universal liberalism, undervalued shared humanity & individuality & boxed people into stereotypes.

Maybe in some cases that happened, but if you ignore how individuals are treated differently by systemic factors, it's harder to help them.
-
Don't ignore this. Why are the only options 'ignore disadvantages' or 'make everything abt identity & systems of privilege'

Modernism said the fact that women aren't scientists is because they aren't built for it, and cited bad IQ tests to prove it.

Modernism is a simplistic and long-gone idea. The liberalism that drove the second wave, civil rights movement & Gay Pride more to the point
-
My view is that we need to synthesize postmodern developments with a return to realism to move past the legit issues being raised here.

No, I don't think so.The good bits of PoMo - that culture has influence - is commonly accepted in much more reasonable &evidenced approaches
