How exactly can feminists destroy the patriarchy when they actively reinforce and empower the patriarchy to take contol of women's lives?

From Stanton to Steinem feminists for the last 150 years have followed the same method to get what they want.

1. Find a problem. 2. Blame men (always!) for this problem. 3. Blow the problem way out of proportion and insinuate that millions of women are being affected by it. 4. Demand the government fix the problem by punishing men and providing resources to women. 5. If the government resists or is too slow to act then accuse the government of being anti-woman or failing to protect women.

How exactly are feminists liberating women by reinforcing patriarchal values in the government and empowering government agencies to take control of women's lives and make decisions for them?

Take for instance domestic violence.

Feminists first state the problem. Then they blame men for this problem and tell the most horrific tale of abuse they can and then insinuate that millions of women are suffering this same fate. Then they insist the government fix the problem by providing shelters for these women and research grants for feminists. Now these women who are allegedly abused are dependent on the government and have not learned to make better choices in mate selection.

Wouldn't women be more empowered if feminists simply encouraged them not to date violent drunks let alone marry them? Maybe if feminists were a little more honest and were willing to admit that women can also be violent drunks who incite their husbands to violence they might save a lot of lives and heart ache.

What I'm Looking For...
But feminists won't do that because of two reasons. First women don't like other women controlling them. Second is that feminists want to use domestic violence as a political tool against men and being honest about domestic violence causes won't perpetuate the blame game they've been playing for 150 years.

As long as feminists feel that only men are responsible for the safety of women then only men can fail at protecting women. As long as only men can fail at protecting women then women never need take responsibility for their own actions. As long as women never take responsibility for their own actions then men will be forced to step in and pick up the pieces. As long as men are forced to step in and fix things feminists will denounce us for controlling society.

In an equal society which feminists claim to want--one gender is not responsible for the health and welfare of the other. By constantly playing the victim and insisting the government fix their problems feminists prove that liberation and equality is not on their agenda.
