Radical feminists think all acts of violence against women are political. Violence against women exists to stop women from fighting back, from achieving equality both at a personal and at a societal level.
If all acts of violence against women are political and incidents of oppression in service to patriarchy and misogyny, that's going to be a problem. It effectively gives any woman an out to do any act of violence she likes, up to and including attempting murder. If her would-be victim responds in self-defense, or police use force to prevent her, it's "muh violence against women!"
Read strictly, in her perfect world she could go around murdering men and boys with impunity. The victims couldn't retaliate without risking imprisonment for violence against women, nor could police intervene to stop her for the same reason.
Even female police using force to stop her would be illegitmate, on the grounds that the woman police officer is inflicting violence against a woman on behalf of a man.
Closing the asylums was a mistake.
ETA: Two things I'd like to see:
First, this idiotic assertion lends itself to a cartoon meme to go with the "feminist shovels shit over the wall" one. Feminist punches man repeatedly, man slaps her, feminist cries "Violence against women!"
Second, someone should write a companion to "The Handmaid's Tale" with the sexes reversed. The original is a feminist wet dream that feeds their ridiculous persecution complexes, but as a fictional presentation of how feminists think men would run things if they had complete freedom to do so, it's a brilliant unintentional glimpse via projection how feminists would arrange the world if given unfettered power. It would take very little to retool it into a damning indictment of feminism as a violent, hateful, oppressive, and insane sex-based ideology.
