In essence, the question asks why a diverse group is apparently not interested in a constellation of issues that we as outsiders think should occupy their attention and activity. We then use our bewilderment to justify greater skepticism and criticism of feminists.

I am no scholar on the world of feminist causes.
Maybe it's just because I'm ignorant of the inter-feminist nuances, but I think that any and all variations should each be able to decide (independently or collectively) that a culture that treats women like chattel is a "bad thing" and should be opposed. Even if they don't feel up to the fight, or choose to focus energy on other campaigns, every feminist should have a problem with such a culture.
I'm not really interested in voicing a lot of criticism of feminists. I am really and truly bewildered that there aren't more feminist voices being openly critical that such a Dark Age system persists.
