the man hatred, the unwillingness to look closely at women's own transgressions as part of the problem, and the anti-TG sentiments

I think the first and last are much less prevalent than they used to be, or at least there are huge pockets of feminism that don't truck with them and those are the pockets I primarily have contact with. My primary route into feminism these days is via Wiscon. Maybe Wiscon is unusual in that although it calls itself a feminist science fiction convention it's really a feminist class-conscious race-conscious TG-conscious size-conscious science fiction convention. (Even if it does break out into ugly arguments about cultural appropriation and race sometimes.)

I haven't seen a whole lot of the second within feminism, though.

I agree with working for change at home. I also think it's good to stay aware of what's going on elsewhere. The bloggers about domestic violence in other countries that I respect a lot are natives of those countries or are at least living there if they aren't natives.
