There is certainly a branch of feminism that seeks to work to elevate women within the patriarchal/capitalistic framework, but I think that branch of feminism reveals just how dependent patriarchy is to capital.

When you are conceiving of an anti-establishment ideology like feminism, it's a little counter-productive to divide that establishment into discrete pieces so that some elements can be ignored. If anything, patriarchy serves to reinforce capital as a secondary component: without addressing the mechanism of capital, feminism just becomes misandry.
