I don't necessarily align completely with all your views but there is one fundamental truth you point out - the moral asymmetry that is allowed to exist - both in that specific context as well as generally within the left/progressive ideology.
In the Arab/Israeli context we/Israel/West must obey high moral standards, but the other side's brutality is always excused. In the feminist context JF principally focuses on, the same applies - men are held to strict standards whereas feminism is entitled to play dirty. This pattern repeats itself in every field of the culture war. Moral and cultural relativism is one of the predominant intellectual dishonesties of progressivism.
It is also highly ironic given how strongly the feminist movement supports cultures whose values are clearly far worse for women than the supposed patriarchal oppression by Western culture. No culture in history has ever given women the gains modern Western civilization has - why are so many young, intelligent & motivated women sucked into campaigning against their own welfare?
