I merely found it to have been used much more often in the sophisticated radical feminist writings than in the sophisticated moderate feminist ones (six to one, to be precise).
It’s probably a rare coincidence that I saw it that often, but it does seem to very appropriately catch/resume things said in less erudite words by the rest of the radical feminist stuff I’ve read.
Ah, I see. Yes, that makes sense… the idea that the patriarchy is pervasive and pernicious is a lot of what supports the idea that eliminating the patriarchy is a necessary first step, an idea differentially associated with radical feminism. (Indeed, if I replace “patriarchy” with “current social order” it’s differentially associated with radicals of all sorts.)

I would infer that to be true, yes. It’s just that (radical) feminism and (radical) nazism are my only concrete data points on this.
