Curious as to what type of feminist you are?

[Rottweilers]

That’s it really. Radical, Liberal ect.
First post here.

I think I have become less liberal recently as too often being liberal often gives free reign to the illiberal and intolerant Labour and the Libdems and greens haven't challenged those transsexuals who called anyone disagreeing with their ideas on gender transphobic which allowed them to get increasingly intolerant of free speech.

Hi stargirl! Another second waver here.

An increasingly militant one.

Radical/marxist.Royally hacked off

Radical, and really really pissed off.

I've never been a feminist but find myself weirdly having the terf label stick because:
I believe in science.
I believe in free speech across the board.
I don't like ideological fundamentalism.
I think women as a sex have a crucial contribution to give and this should not be collapsed with trans identification.

I'm not sure what I'd be...I'm very new to this, but agree that I'm getting angrier as I get older....but if there's a name for someone who believes that women must be seen and treated as equal, that progress to end global, patriarchal control must never stop, that sexism and stereo typing girls and women needs to be addressed at a very early age, that we need to raise not just our daughters, but our sons differently, that it's not OK to say 'you catch like a girl' or 'man up'....then that's me.

I used to be a liberal feminist since age 18 or so. Then I woke up a bit and am now a radical feminist.

I’ve never heard it described like that. I’d say similar, though for me it’s class and environment; radfem feels like a natural consequence.

Exactly. I think radfem comes as a natural consequence if you think structurally, rather than on the level of the individual.

If push came to shove and all else was equal, I would prioritise the political needs of a working class man on a council estate over those of a privately educated middle class woman.

Other than that, I'm radfem all the way!

I just did the FB online test that is going around. Apparently I'm not a traditionalist feminist, but I'm almost equally a cultural, Marxist, liberal and radical feminist. So I'm either well balanced or uncommitted.

Radical. Started off liberal 40 yrs ago and gradually the blinkers were peeled off me.

Now there is no going back.

A pragmatic one.

Radical feminist with a background in Marxism (which I've backed off on a bit but it definitely still influences me in terms of tending to apply class analysis to most situations).

Was lib fem as I thought we were over ‘the hump’, now rad fem.

Just did a test - lib fem

Not many of those on mumsnet.

“Just did a test - lib fem

That’s interesting, because I would have said that liberal feminists are in a majority on mumsnet discussion threads, , even though there are a lot of radicals on this one.

I did an online quiz and seem to mostly be a liberal feminist but I also had a pretty high score for radical feminist. I think I would have said liberal feminist before I started learning about gender id and I now seem to be getting more radical.

You might be right there Bertrand.

Maybe there’s loads of lib fems in the rest of mumsnet. The feminist boards feel like a very rad fem space.

A Very Cross One.

Who knows the difference between male and female and will not sit down until rights of women are safeguarded once again.

Formerly would have called myself a liberal feminist. Pushed into defining as radfem by the transagenda. It's helped me crystallise my feelings snd get angry. It's been cathartic, actually.

This ^^

I wonder if TRAs have any idea how many formerly more mainstream feminists they've radicalized through their overreach and blatant misogyny.

Not the fun kind of feminist.

I wouldn't even have put being gender critical into radfem territory because it's just so fucking obvious that it's feminism 101, but what would I know?

I would quite like to go back to the days when we discussed how we would rid the world of male violence instead of having to focus all our energy on men. No matter how lovely their frocks are.

I'm a liberal feminist, but in the second wave understanding of that term (working within existing political systems and focusing on discrimination and inequality), certainly not in present day iterations of anything-goes-it's-all-about-individual-feelings-and-choices feminism. It's about the liberation of women from oppression, first, last, and always.

Radical and angry.

Second wave, disheartened and disappointed.
