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.
