to them[, heterosexuality] is a structure built to reinforce misogyny.

I don’t understand how that is supposed to work.

I won’t pretend to understand the ins and outs of it, but to my understanding, it has a bit to do with the culture of the 60’s and 70’s (when the movement gained traction), where men were assumed to take an authoritative role and the women a subservient role in relationships, on top of the fact that marital rape was still legal at the time.

Again, I’m having a hard time finding more details on how this manifests/ gets justified in the modern day, so much as the roots of the movement, so I can’t say what forces persist their justification of these beliefs (Though I do know that they’re not necessarily held by mainstream feminism).
