Why do some feminists oppose misogyny but support gender ideology?

I recently ended up in the man hating side of tiktok, which is a place I tend to be in agreement with. I’ve seen several women bravely battle stupid men in the comments who manage to reinforce everything being said.

I’ve seen a pattern though that these women, who seem to be very up on rules of misogyny, and aware of how problematic too many men are, usually have pronouns in their bio, and occasionally will complain about being bullied by terfs.

I’m baffled.

How can they be so up on patriarchal nonsense yet miss the fundamental misogyny in gender ideology. How can they deny the evidence that trans identified men are just as much of a problem for women if not more as they want women’s rights and spaces.

They can make endless videos about how hateful men are because of the way women are treated, and how women have to budge up and make room, yet trans identified men are women, and anyone who says otherwise is a massive bigot. I don’t understand.

If you have no problem with males appropriating women's stuff, then you are not a feminist.
If you think that some males are actually women, then you have allowed men to manipulate you into supporting their desires above women's needs so, again, not a feminist.

Lack of critical or independent thought, plus buying into trendy group think ideas that are circulating in their tribe.

I think they're probably not throughly convinced of anything but are repeating acceptable ideas.

When I was a girl it wasn't cool to be a feminist, you had to be not like other girls, popular with the boys. Now it's cool to be feminist and point out gender pay gaps and Me Too etc (I'm not criticising that). But also it's necessary to agree with TWAW, "diversity and inclusion" but also "do not tolerate intolerance", tax the rich, net zero, etc. So many people just go along with the whole package, and don't interrogate any contradiction.
