Yes, it is. It's about focusing on priorities first. If the focus was on female dustbin workers, and feminists rubbed their hands together and was like "ah, job done", things would quickly regress back to inequality. And it wouldn't address other areas, nor the wider picture.

Power is more important, and it makes sense to focus on that as a priority.
