Looking at the synopsis, it only seems to reference fourth-wave feminism. The fourth wave is very identity politics driven, which is fantastic if you want to detract from the goal of women's sex-based rights. Each wave of feminism of course branches off from the previous one, but as it branched from third wave feminism (one I also have disdain for as that is where intersectionality took hold) and failed to learn from mistakes made from the previous wave, it is more palatable to the public and likely has internal inconsistencies.

As someone who hasn't watched nor read the things you suggested, I don't think social movements and revolutions in general will ever reach their end goal, as there are far too many people alive today - it would be near impossible to change everyone's minds and get them on board. That doesn't mean a big structural change isn't necessary to fix issues that started a long time ago; it all depends on who's willing to put in the work to make it happen.

It also happens to be far less convenient than taking a stance which means certain things continue as they do. But I'll leave it at that.
