"White patriarchy" is a label that Angela Davis would used to describe structural issues she critiques in our present society. It just seems weird to label yourself. When people tell me they are Trad Caths, I know what they should believe and what went wrong. The fact that *anyone* can read the Bible and interpret produced most of what they perceive as problems in our current society, and they aren't exactly wrong. The printing press and national schooling destroyed traditional structures and made people question the Bible and monarchy. I may find this inevitable and I wouldn't label it as "good", just a contingency of history, but I understand their perspective.

I don't really understand what issue you have with first wave feminists. The idea that women should be able to vote is something that was set in motion when people decided to murder monarchs and give people formal equality under a secular constitution. The idea women shouldn't be raped probably comes from parents receiving a dowry and just became formalized under law. These are just issues that are bound to be agitated for in a constitutional republic.
