Radical Feminsts

[sticksstones]

AIBU in noticing a increase in radical feminism on MN?

I'm not talking regular old feminism where equal rights are the goal, I'm sure we can all agree on that being important.

But there is a level of extremism emerging that goes from dizzying entitlement to outright man hating.

What gives?

FYI
I am a woman, before the incel comments start.

What’s the definition of radical feminism?

I don't think you know what radical feminism is.

You don't know what radical feminism is. Radical does not mean "extreme".

You're going to need to give examples.

It's very rare I see anything I would consider radical feminism on here.

“Down with this sort of thing”! Women, know your place.

I think before starting an argument it is very important to define your terms. Also check your spelling.

Have you really seen posts that claim that hating men is a part of feminism? And that being entitled is a part of feminism?

Radical feminism is not dizzying entitlement, nor is it outright man hating.
If radical feminism is on the increase, that can only be a good thing.

What have incels got to do with anything?

Also, "regular old feminism" is not just about equal rights.

As pp have said, you might want to articulate a bit better what you mean, as "radical" doesn't mean "extreme" in this context.
Usually people give examples when making broad statements - no-one's just going to take your word for it!

I have just found a previously undiscovered Easter egg. Otherwise I wouldn't bother reading tbh.

I woke this morning, kissed my wonderful and amazing husband, told him I loved him, carried on the day as a radical feminist.

And BTW 'equality' would be us killing 2-3 men a week and no free safe abortions because they don't need them so it's 'equal' for no one to have them.

My feminism seeks the end of the patriarchy and the oppression of women. Not 'equality'. DH agrees since you seem to care so much what men think about feminism.

I don't think so. What I do read a lot of on here is ongoing abuse and violence against women and children.

"What gives?"

I have just realised that OP must have fallen asleep in the 60s and just woke up.

Excellent post @MrsTerryPratchett 👍

An obvious typo.

@MrsTerryPratchett you always have a way of expressing exactly what I'm thinking, but do it better (and quicker!). Another great post 😊

Radical feminism doesn't mean what you think it does - start by looking at the etymology of the word radical you won't

I'm here to enjoy the radfem replies 💃🏻

This is the usual label that gets slung if you disagree with the radicals.

Radical feminism isn't "man hating" as you put it. Sorry op you just sound ignorant in your post.

Prime example:

And BTW 'equality' would be us killing 2-3 men a week

Indeed!!

If nothing else, go for the jugular via typos!!😂😂😂
