But you do have a problem with a culture that is evolving if it has a feminist evolution. In those situations you claim that feminist evolution must be "western" even if it is obvious that they have their own take on feminism based on their values.

You refuse to accept that "ni una menos" is a reaction to what is happening there. Hell, mexicans feminists blame the sexism they experience on the spanish colonization because catholicism brought lots of sexism. That means that according to them, sexism wasn't an indigenous value, but one imposed.

Aztecs used to sacrifice people and have slaves, they were made to stop by imperialism too. Somehow, there is no interest on defend that as they defend forced marriage on "culture".

So you might start considering that indigenous feminism is an organic evolution because it is. And you pretending it is western is appropriation. Again, it is not surprising at all that women who have been forced into unwanted marriages grow up hating it and speak against it once they are older.
