To dislike "Radical Feminism"

InternetPerson · 25/09/2015 21:15

I've got nothing against feminists that fight for womens rights and genuinely want the best the best for everyone and don't hate anyone, but "RadFems" tend to be full of bitterness and hatred. And I'm not just talking about kids, these are high profile, intelligent women with power and influence. Do you think it's unreasonable to dislike something where most people think men are inherantly evil and to be feared? Or do you think their hatred is fair and we should respect them for their good work in trying to make humans hate eath other even more?

Like, I said, I have nothing against Feminism, it's done a lot of great work down the years and still does, but "Rad Fem" and "Feminism" are too completly different things in my opinion. Is this a wrong conclusion?

AIBU?

Millie Tant doesn't accept any woman that easily relates with men, and is comfortable with the life that she has been given.

Ego I would say your propensity to enter women's conversations and then try to frame them around yourself at the expense of meaningful dialogue was a direct result of your male socialization.

WRONG TOPIC

i have these topics hidden for a reason

Not accepting Trans people =/= not accepting the Trans orthodoxy that gender is an innate quality that exists from birth.

^^This. Perfect example right there.

please could we refrain from making this yet another thread about Ego and her fight against the nasty MN feminists

it's beyond fucking boring

go and sober up, Ego, you are being tedious again

You operate as little more than a goady troll these days, and the best way to deal with those is to ignore them

It doesn't piss me off. I just find it tiresome. And a bit pathetic, really.

Nobody posted anything about Trans people until you showed up did they?

Great potted history there Buffy.

I'm kind of a radical-leaning feminist, I think. But I kind of got feminism by osmosis and have done bugger all reading of the literature!

AnyFucker · 26/09/2015 20:53

ditto

AnyFucker · 26/09/2015 20:55

although it didn't always used to be that way, Ego

I used to always read your posts with interest, when they were balanced and not just one long whingefest

I'm curious. If we happen to agree with radical feminism ideas but are not arsed about transpeople, or are OK with transwomen being considered women and joining in the fight what should we call ourselves?
