Women had as a group more common interests when being a woman was legal grounds for wide-spread discrimination (property rights, voting rights, lower wages (I do not refer to wages being lower, I mean when lower wage was mandatory, which in Sweden was until the 60ies)).

But that is actually a bit beside the point - or it would have been on point if it was a womens party (which was discuseed in the 90ies and as a result gave higher female representation in elected assemblies) - but this was a party around the feminist ideology. Just turned out there was some huge differences within that ideology.

But assumptions of commonalities of feminists, not of women. There was quite a few men among their activists.

So it would be similar to assumption of commonalities among socialists.
