There exist social contexts in which getting women "out of the cage" requires a radical restructuring of that context.
Calling feminists who encourage that sort of restructuring "radical feminists" seems like a reasonable use of language to me.
Indeed, people who want to get both men and women out of the cage are called anarchists.
Well, some of them are. Many of them aren't.
I would describe serious Zen Buddhists this way as well, for example, and while there's a sense in which one could describe Zen Buddhists as anarchists it's a very different sense from the one we usually mean.
I don't think they're trying to break out of the same kind of ‘cages’ feminists are.
Are anarchists?
Maybe not exactly, but they're much more similar.
EDIT: Many feminists compare male privilege with white privilege, upper-class privilege etc. (collectively referred to as ‘kyriarchy’). And some anarchists describe themselves as wanting to destroy all such privileges. See also Section A.3.5 of An Anarchist FAQ.
It's reasonable. It's just different to my prior expectation.
