She was tracking his movements [...]

So, stalking?

[...] checking his phone, believing he was cheating on her [...]

Well that's controlling behaviour right there...

[...] and later said: "If I can't have him, no-one can."

Is possessiveness not considered a form of abuse (or a precursor to it) these days?

Of course, they would never consider her actions as abusive, would they?

[...] using a hammer she had brought in her handbag [...]

No-one just happens to have a hammer in their handbag...

Toxic masculinity is a descriptive term for a harmful set of behaviors.

Most of which have very little (if anything) to do with masculinity. The way people generalise the term to mean any/all male behaviour is not a mistake.

Feminism is about achieving gender equality by advancing women’s rights.

This only makes sense on the presumption that women are unilaterally lacking in rights. If men were lacking a certain right, advocating for women's rights would not achieve any kind of equality.

[...] misogynists ideas [...]

Feminism ≠ Women. It is possible to criticise an ideology without attacking the people which the ideology claims to represent.

Feminism, at its core, advocates for gender equality [...]

I'll have you know (per the dictionary definition) that Feminism actually advocates for women's rights. The difference is quite subtle, but very important.

Feminism does not suppress science [...]

... that agrees with Feminist ideology... Anything else is "misogyny", "fake news", "pseudo-science" etc.

The concept of patriarchy refers to a social system in which men hold primary power and women are marginalized. [...]

Apex fallacy/collectivism; Just because the people at the top are men, this does not mean that all men have power. After all, the vast majority of homeless are men too...

[...] challenge societal norms and structures that limit their opportunities and choices.

Such as...?

It advocates for equal [...] agency [...] for women.
