I think the moral they're going for is to be smart with giving your full opinion on everything. It's not always appropriate to spout dismissive views or high praise about things you personally think deserve it, partly because it can be needlessly inconsiderate and partly because it's useful to acknowledge what others have to say, even if you don't understand - much in the same way Discord learned to moderate his own behavior for the sake of his friends in Keep Calm and Flutter On. Also I'm not sure how feminism fits in here.

Personally I think a more story-appropriate but less useful moral would have been along the lines of "careful what you wish for", or perhaps "Rarity, you should have known Applejack was far more 'practical' than you were comfortable letting the contest entries be."
