"Terrifying Radfems"

Posted this on another thread, and it's doing the rounds on Twitter, but thought I'd repost as it's a bloody hilarious/hideous/bemusing rant written by Phaylen Fairchild.

WARNING.....contains lies, smears and much, much misunderstanding.
It also contains many gems of complete ignorance.

Some choice quotes...

Radfems are indeed much worse than the traditional TERF. As where TERFS are typically casual with their prejudices, I’ve found they lack self-awareness. They try to logicize their bigotry and sell it to their audience packaged as a “Sophisticated Arguments” and “Clever Rebuttals.”

[Radfems].....aggressively attack, unprovoked, nonsensically hellbent on creating a narrative that paints them as a hero trying to slay a mythical beast. Radfems are completely consumed by their hatred and any awareness of a shared reality is entirely absent- They exist in an imaginarium where only others like themselves exist

their very souls have gone septic, sending them into a state of madness not altogether unlike a rabid dog

and my favourite piece of total ignorance and crass stupidity...

As far as I can tell, the RadFem movement sprouted up like stinkweed, first in the UK, from one woman’s dissatisfaction with the Labour Party deciding to include Transgender rights as part of their manifsto in defending The Gender Recognition Act of 2004

Utter utter batshit crazy.

It's like a verbal ejaculation of bitter hate and ignorance, wrapped up in a sparkly pink bow.

Those quotes scream projection IMO.

ErrolTheDragon · 03/04/2018 19:30

As far as I can tell

After much 'research' on the internet, no doubt.Grin
For goodness sakes, fair child, at least read the wiki on a subject.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_feminism

LewisLaw · 03/04/2018 19:34

Lewis' law

Mouthtrousersafrocknowandthen · 03/04/2018 19:38

Oh my goodness, I'm living in an imaginarium apparently. They mean the one where my neighbour of 27 years whose artwork I have on the wall, whose home I've been to, whose studio I've been to, whose two kids went to school with mine, whose wife I know, whose 40th birthday party I went to, who has now been a woman for the last two years. I am imagining the man I know. What a sophisticated argument.

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 03/04/2018 19:38

Just googled "Lewis's Law"

the internet comments on any article about feminism justify feminism

Succinct.

Articles like this sound so ridiculous.

When I first decided to look into what all the ‘fuss was about’ between TRAs and feminists I read a claim that feminists get their male partners to beat up trans people. It was the first of many Hmm moments. Ridiculous claims like that from the TRAs helped me understand the difference between trans people and TRAs.

MyAuntyBadger · 03/04/2018 19:41

I read that yesterday and had a proper chuckle. Didn't they accuse Venice of inventing radical feminism?

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 03/04/2018 19:43

Oh and yeah....there's certainly some projection going on there.

Funnily enough "rabid" is how I'd describe some all TRA's. Hmm

OP posts:
LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 03/04/2018 19:47

Yep AuntyBadger

A quick google would have informed them that radical feminism has been around for, well, an eternity....apparently it's all down to hatred of trans people and VA started it in 2004 as a direct response to a debate in 2004. Hmm

Must remember to go and tell my Radfem mum, aged 60, that she must have got it wrong.

How narc do you have to be to believe a whole historic political movement only happened cos the mean laydeez hate you???

AngryAttackKittens · 03/04/2018 20:00

I've been sending this to all my friends because it's so funny. DH was all, wait, how did this woman just invent something that's been around since the 60s? Does she have a time machine?

Moussemoose · 03/04/2018 20:11

I usually call myself a lib fem ( kind of) but bloody hell!

I sooooooo want to be a radfem nowEnvy. I'm jealous.

I want an imaginarium, what ever the fuck one of those is. Can I buy one on Amazon?

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 03/04/2018 20:13

Mousse the imaginarium is where you keep your sparkly pink unicorns.

Like a vivarium but for twats.

OP posts:
Moussemoose · 03/04/2018 20:17

If the unicorns are sparkly, pink that means they are girl unicorns right?

Even if they have big unicorn dicks.

Am I a radfem now?

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 03/04/2018 20:23

Not yet....

You are clearly not "rabid" enough. Grin

You must repeat after me....

"I am a primitive rabid radfem, and I am an evil, transphobe"

Then we give the secret handshake and you get your badge.

MrsJoshDun · 03/04/2018 20:25

Surely RadFems are more traditional than TERFS?

whoputthecatout · 03/04/2018 20:34

imaginarium - can I keep my goldfish in it?

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 03/04/2018 20:38

imaginarium - can I keep my goldfish in it?

Only if they identify as pink sparkly goldfish

Or unicorns

The author thinks TERFs are positively benign set against Venice Allan and her new British radfem threat.

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 03/04/2018 20:40

I'm getting so confused

I can't figure out if I'm a boring old mumsy cis woman who's too boring and mumsy and cis to even have an opinion about anything or a septic rabid aggressor wallowing scarily in a cesspit of hate

Does your clothing feel soggy? If yes, assume cesspit. If no, boring mumsy.

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 03/04/2018 20:48

It's dry at the moment but it was quite damp when I got caught in the rain earlier

Does that mean I'm radfem-fluid? Do I get a unicorn?

Ereshkigal · 03/04/2018 20:49

I'm sadface that MN didn't get a mention!

It’s essentially a confession on how she mentally tortured her Trans daughter, Jessie, brainwashing her into conforming to her birth gender and rejecting Transgender ideation. Jessie, herself, contributes to the article in the postscript, and it is heartbreaking.

From what Lily says her daughter is completely over this phase and now is gender critical. Why is this "heartbreaking"? Should she rather be miserable?

AngryAttackKittens · 03/04/2018 20:50

What I don't get is, TERF is supposed to be short for trans exclusionary RADICAL FEMINIST. So how is it possible for TERFs to predate radical feminism?

We're back to the time machine again. DH sent me a link to the Dr Who theme.
