Not personally. My wife had some bad relationships prior to me but more out of self-esteem issues she had at the time than her feminism. Other outspoken feminists I've known seemed happy with their partners.
It may be the small sample you know have a "victim mentality" streak in them. Victim conscious self-pity is not inherent in feminism but would be potentially compatible. Perhaps they pick men who fulfill their expectations and then use their experience to justify what they believe?
Just a shot in the dark.
Generally speaking, when we notice we get into the same relationships over and over, there's a reason.
