I know it's silly of me but I wish we could leave political sides out of it. For me it's about reality, telling the truth and protecting females.
Be kind has been leveraged against us (everyone but particularly women), and as predicted the goalposts just keep shifting don't they?
The path was predictable and now males can self ID into being able to physically beat up women as a sport, cheered on by the unthinking masses.
Slow claps all round to everyone who allowed this to happen.
We can be compassionate people and still avoid throwing safeguarding completely out the window can't we? I mean we can put people on the moon and do other incredible things that used to be considered science fiction these days, but apparently we collectively became so open minded our brains fell out.
May I also ask what about MN feminism is extreme to you? Genuinely curious.
I haven't seen anyone here suggesting violence of any kind (which I consider extreme), what I do see is women who have had a lot of experience and knowledge of male violence who advocate strongly for women and children - usually with a well behaved protest or strong campaign of letter writing.
We wish to hold the lines and boundaries of safeguarding for women and children - a reasonable boundary at that.
What I see from the TRA/MRA side, on the other hand, is frankly terrifying and is what I would consider extreme.
