Not really. But sometimes you gotta cut through the liberal parts and the essentialist parts before you find the radical side. Feminism is always developing (and really the mechanisms of gender respond to material conditions and the other human systems and then people study that, sometimes while under the spell of ideology etc ect) so while the ruling class appropriates pieces of it, feminist are aware of this and respond accordingly.

I do admit things are kinda bleak with the onslaught of conflicts and crises on top of everyday shit but dont count 'em out just because its looking bleak. There are a lot of women and feminist that are extremely capable and well organized and we should support them because feminism can be a game changing weapon in class warfare. Mao and Sankara would say they hold up half the sky, but if we run the numbers its more than half.
