I still don't think this is evidence of the most feminist government. Progressive, and even more so for a Muslim...diaspora (they're not really a country). An outlier like Uganda unfortunately. A good outlier, but an outlier nonetheless.
There's more in the wiki page on Rojava and there are talks on youtube (David Graeber is good in particular). But, it's too much to give you a million links.
It's not front page news, but it's not exactly hard to find on the internet either.

And yes, it is an outlier, because nationalist governments hate egalitarian anti-authoritarian, non-nationalist movements. It can exist and maybe reach a point where it has some security only because the authoritarian regimes are falling apart, busy elsewhere or using them as an ally of convenience. But it's 4.5 million people and the biggest experiment in direct democracy maybe in world history.
