Honestly, I'm not familiar with Marxist Feminism or Marxism in general, but there's a clear radicalization

But in terms of Marxist ideology or in terms of identity politics and cultural relativity?

the latter. I noticed many articles on identity politics taking a more radical stance. Is that the new norm?

Yes. That's the influence of postmodernism. I think this is way more significant. But some feel Marxism deserves a mention.

Marxism and Postmodernism go hand-in-hand. If there is no such thing as objective reality and the truth itself is merely a matter of one's opinion, then it follows that all of society is just a network of arbitrary power structures that exist for no reason and should be torn down

But it's postmodernism that disbelieves in objective reality, not Marxism. And they don't claim power structures to be arbitrary but formed by oppressive ideologies rooted in discourse.
