Im sorry but you aren't going to argue communism into existence. it doesnt matter if you find the exact phrasing that makes the average person understand what you mean or not, rhetoric and messaging are not enough. You need to gain material benefits for the proletariat and that means uplifting women from the oppression they face within the patriarchy before it means catering to men's feelings. That means misogyny must be stamped out, no matter where or why it starts. If women aren't safe within the movement then its certainly not going to do anything for the entire proletariat.
I mean you can do both. It's not one or the other. In order for women to be safe within the movement you're going to need to address any reactionary views from existing members and potential members. And some of those people will need to be handled different with different approaches. It's just like union organizing. You can't just barge in and say "labor oppression must be stamped out!" You gotta talk to people, feel them out first, and talk to them where they are (without sacrificing your own values of course).
