Second-wave feminists did start it, but radical feminism isn't a religion, so people are allowed to change their minds. Myself and other women who enjoy reading radical feminist literature cringe at the idea of political lesbianism, and so I hope the radical feminists of today are vehemently against it.

Every political and social movement has room for error and learning from mistakes.

I still feel sorry for straight women stuck with dating straight men.

Edit - I also reject the notion that second-wave feminist paved the way for autogynephiles and predators to call themselves lesbians, they'd been doing that in their bedrooms before then.

I’ve been reading “cynical theories” by James Lindsay and he explains that both feminism and gender ideology are rooted in Marxism. You should check out his groomer schools episodes that talk and pushing trans and queer in schools came out of Antinio gramsci’s papers in the 40s it sounds like a weird connection to make but it will make sense if you listen to the groomer schools episodes. Feminism definitely helped us get to we are today someone . They are allegedly rooted in Marxist theory as well. Though they are not usually compatible they have the same Marxist theory woven into it.

GREAT BOOK. New Discourses is also awesome at explaining why so many "progressive" movements today are actually just flailing, gnashing strains of failed Marxist apologia.
