Well I could see something like that happening, minus the 3rd wave feminist angle. I do think Cinder is rebelling against society and its structure.

The way society is now in Remnant, the headmasters like Ozpin do wield a ton of power, but they're (supposedly) benevolent and only use their power to protect the people. Cinder sees things differently, she thinks Ozpin is unworthy of the power he wields. Maybe she has her own ideas of how to run shit in Remnant and wants to have a go.
