Their point is that a lot of women, and possibly most women, are not feminists. Which means they enforce patriarchy, as do most people who aren't feminists.
Equating women with feminists is dangerous and counterproductive
Duh. A lot of men like me are feminists. A lot more of them are ones without realising it.
Also no shit not all women are feminists. Phillis Schlafely, Amy Coney Barrett, and plenty of others. Hell internalized misogyny is a major topic in any modern feminist theory.
Feminism isn’t just telling women “hey do whatever you want” it’s saying “analyze your choices and behaviors and work to remove the systemic social barriers placed on you” and it often finds its pioneers surpassed in their lifetime. Many suffragettes were uncomfortable with women taking traditionally male jobs.
