“A good comparison to feminism's hierarchy is a major religion like Christianity (at least at the human level, since feminism has followers of various religious beliefs). They've both got one essential message, but there are many divisions and subgroups with different views on how to interpret/act on that message, and some of them don't get along so well. There are literally dozens of different factions within the feminist movement, which split off of each other due to disagreements over everything from abortion rights to the pairing of feminism with racial/gay/whathaveyou rights movements to how big of a problem gender discrimination really is in the first place.
There are pretty much only three general concepts you can count on any mixed group of feminists to agree on:
1) That women should have legal and economic rights equal to those of men, such as the right to vote and to manage their own finances.
2) That women should be able to pursue any career they choose, and should get paid the same amount as a man doing the same job with the same level of competence.
3) That mutual consent is a must for all sexual activities.
...and even then, there are no guarantees. As with religion and politics, everyone brings a little bit of their own experiences and prejudices along with them.”
