First the male side of the story, it's a decent story and the only reason I'm not giving it 1 star. It's shows the men in the show as regular men without it either being a overly dramatic or emotional moment or a high tension moment. The whole finding out that Joe's daughter in law was a stripper for "feminist research" is also fine and later she finds out she didn't really do that for that reason. People that do things simply to prove there own political persuasion to themselves exist and generally are that stupid. Not to mention there are some genuinely funny moments in those scenes. If that was the whole episode I'd give it 6 stars, not great, out of character for most characters but fine.
Than we get to the meat and potatoes of this episode. Every line seems to be extremely forced in an attempt to write a "girl power" episode. At least half of what is written in previous episodes is suddenly all forgotten just to push this story (Caitlin for example forgets she has a good friend in Cisco). Not to mention they let someone who had chained up, tortured (and possibly starve) a person for weeks to produce enough tears to supply at least a rave go away even though she could have easily be locked up because "#Feminism"?
All in all, just a typical Supergirl episode cosplaying as a flash episode. Just needed more super Lesbian Alex with her side kick Supergirl to be a true Supergirl episode.
