Progressives tend to be good feminists until liberal, feminist values clash with cultures that are illiberal, non-white, and religiously fundamentalist. I'll say it; in Islamic, theocratic states, the lives of women range from bad to unbearable. Look at how the Taliban treats women. In some of these cultures, honor killings are tolerated. FGM is practiced. Women are their husbands' property. Women are forced to cover themselves head to toe, and when they are raped, they are blamed and shamed for it, and the rapists are exonerated because men cannot be expected to control themselves around women.
At any rate, I think that is 100% what's going on with the reaction to Hamas terrorists raping and killing Jewish women. Saying this is what happens in war, when these atrocities happened during a terrorist assault, is just absurd.
