Yep, this is why I'm a feminist but I don't hang out with the rad fem / gc types too much. They could find patriarchy in the kitchen sink lol. I think they forget that there is a difference between men as individuals and misogynistic beliefs, behavioural norms, laws etc.

I think they may be right in some cases but I wish they could acknowledge - even as patriarchy for explanation - that not all men are opressive monsters, who only want to humilate women and men tend to have issues as well. Their interpretation of someone's origins of trans also has the same script depending on if that person is a man or a woman. You can predict what it is... Funny enough I have met the basically inverted version of this script irl. A natal girl transitioned for fetishistic reasons, a natal dude transitions but not for fetish reasons.

I think that feminist analysis can genuinely be insightful. However I don't take it so far as to justify some of the scripts they come up with (as you describe them)... like that there are certain power dynamics in every hetero relationship, or that all trans women are either AGP or HSTS for instance.
