Liberal feminist?

There are probably way more liberal feminists than radical feminists. They are just less likely to label themselves. And less likely to spend their spare time posting on forums about feminism.

I get the impression with the transgender discussions, "liberal" feminism has come to mean not liberal politics but being "liberal" about who you consider to be women i.e. TWAW. I'd barely describe myself as feminist let alone radical, I'm very pro equality and anti sexism but not up on all the theory and reluctant to join any club that doesn't allow male members too. But TWAW is over the line of liberality and into the territory of illogicality for me. So while I'd describe myself as a liberal and (just about) a feminist, I don't think the current connotations of "liberal feminist" would fit.

I don't find either word or concept particularly useful. Some things can be done within the current framework, some can't.

The terms seem to have changed meaning to make them even less useful.

I suppose I identify as liberal. I’d love to dismantle the patriarchy and gendered expectations but don’t think that’s anymore realistic than dismantling capitalism. These systems are pretty entrenched the world over. I think we should focus on working within the existing systems to ameliorate their worst excesses.
