I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. Liberal feminists also locate the root cause of women's oppression in patriarchal gender relations. The actual differences I can see between radical and liberal feminism is (1) the radical feminists still see patriarchy as prior to all other forms of oppression, whereas liberal feminists see it as part of an intersecting complex of oppressions encompassing class, race, sexual identity, disability, and any number of other things (2) the radical feminists have a much more essentialist view of gender that does not accept transgender women as women (3) the radical feminists are willing to critique women for their choices that are perceived by the radical feminists to uphold the patriarchy, such as wearing makeup or doing sex work (4) there's a definite correlation between feminist misandry and radical feminist identification.
