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?

That was in reply to a post that we'd been easily triggered - it was removed.
In notice 'feminazi' hasn't triggered the monitors though..

Examples of man hating on MN:

'I don't like men either, and I find this quite hard to reconcile with my conscience, because I have a son who I adore, and I'd cut off any man that said he "didn't like women" - it would be the biggest red flag ever to me, so I don't know why I hate sexism so much but am fine with Misandry'

'They're only any good for shagging really. Warmer than a vibrator. I prefer the company of women, prefer working with women, and most definitely prefer living with women.'

'I don’t like men, even though I’m married to one. I find them pathetically base, like they’re somehow less evolved than us. I don’t like feeling that way, because I know it’s not quite fair, especially now that I have a son, but I don’t know how to overcome it.AllI can do is try not to show it.'

More to follow, I'm just nipping out.

Can you provide your proof these posters are in fact radical feminists please?

Because otherwise you just sound like one of the odd posters who pops up to blame everything on feminism

Mostly what I see labelled as "man hating" on here is actually posters abilities to recognise negative male patterns of behaviour like abuse

ghostyslovesheets · 20/04/2024 17:05

Don't hold your breath for an answer - @sticksstones joined MN to post this, last posted at half 2 yesterday - strangely hasn't been back since - not that that is suspicious or anything

In days of yore they used to teach us that stuff in school.

Well said.
It doesn't take long for women discussing problems of male pattern behaviour to ruffle some feathers.

Yeah I'll have some sea salt crackers and brie please - oh and more wine

Am I going to have to womansplain to a Bloke?

"Your all Nazis" is an example of the level of argument put forward by people resorting to 'Nazi' as a response.

This often coincides with terrible grammar and lack of critical thinking. That is why the grammar is wrong.

As we have seen demonstrated.

This thread has been very bad for me.

I've just put some Kit Kat cereal into my next Morrison's shopping basket.

More to the point, do you think that men with XY chromosomes are women?

is it now compulsory for all rad fems to buy this? I'm supposed to be on a diet, but if its required of me to buy it to show my commitment to the cause, I will reluctantly do it....

Yeah, I'm supposed to be on a diet, too.

But they do look tasty.

And I do not have to eat the whole box in one go.

Even though I might do just that

ghostyslovesheets · 20/04/2024 17:52

I hope it's ONE of the items on the approved list of Radfem breakfasts because I don't eat cereal but you will prize the fresh, white slab of tiger bread toast covered in salted butter out of my cold dead fist.

BabbityBumble · 20/04/2024 17:59

Radfem breakfasts just need to exclude anything sausage shaped. For obvious reasons. Also in modern times, the aubergine is frowned upon.

The still beating heart of our enemies is a nice touch if you are wanting to impress radical guests. Pair with bucks fizz and drawn curtains on a bright spring morning for a charming brunch.
