Anytime someone feels strongly about an issue, and gathers people who agree, it becomes political. Actually any time a group of people gather for any purpose it becomes political. There will people who by virtue of their personalities are natural leaders. Others, who are power hungry, want to be in charge, and some who are so full of themselves feel they deserve to be in charge.

Look at the tea party, lots of disgruntled people who couldn't express more than one or two actual reasons, but backed anyone who slipped into the leadership void and voiced plausible complaints. Individuals I've talked to, don't agree with everything the leadership says, but feel there's no other choice.

I'm betting the leaders of any cause are saying things not everyone supporting them agrees with completely, unless the cause is so narrow it can be summed up in a slogan or two. The Women's/feminist movement certainly can't.
