Cant say I have heard of Radical Notion. They say:

THE RADICAL NOTION was founded in 2020 to create a space for the resurgent wave of feminist thinking and activism. This not-for-profit magazine is run by an all-women collective of radical and socialist feminists. We are committed to the materialist analysis of sex-based oppression, and to challenging the material and symbolic structures of male dominance. This moment is a historic opportunity to deepen and widen the analysis of all aspects of women’s political condition, and its foundational role in all systems of extraction and domination.

We welcome words and images from women of all nationalities, classes, ethnicities and backgrounds to illuminate the meaning of feminist politics in their lives, and to create a global picture of this political moment. Our current battle, and the social, political and environmental unravellings we see all around us are, at their root, crises of patriarchy. We want to seize this moment to speak that truth.

theradicalnotion.org/gender-critical-disputes/

It seems quite expensive to subscribe but they have made this issue free to read online. A lot of it seems to be the ongoing antagonism (meaning the issues are real but seem to be motivated as much by personal fallouts) between radical feminist and socialist feminist gender critical women.

Some may remember this thread www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/4662757-womens-place-uk-filia-event-the-elephant-ignored-yet-again and the revelation that WPUK seems to now be linked to the group Actual Gender Critical Left, who endlessly snipe about Karin Dansky and KJK.

Anyhow posting in case anyone wants to have a read.

Still not sure why some women think in the day of virtual opportunites to talk directly to other women, they need to go down the routed of "publishing" as though their ideas are somehow special and shouldn't be submitted to the rough and tumble on online forums like this one!

She reminds me of the ladies on those little paper sanitary disposal bags they used to have in public lavatories.

Either a lady in a crinoline or Lily of the Valley.

That's because she's moonlighting as a gif model

Six weeks ago I said it was misogynist to call us "Farage feminists". None of us owe Farage for our feminism and it's misogynistic to imply that we do, not to mention all the other names you called us before you went for your 6-week dinner, like grim, bigoted shire wives.

I absolutely cannot get my head around what is wrong with you, Winter, but whatever it is, I feel pity for you.

For the hard of understanding - I didn't say you owed Farage for your feminism. Farage is - drumroll - not a feminist. I said you used his methods of debate. They are, for clarity, not the same thing.

Weirdly. If you search ‘Nigel Farage’ in the gifs section, most of the results are Jeremy Corbyn?

Call it 'policing' if it makes you feel all activist - it still means 'disagreeing with me'. You just ... don't like people to disagree with you.

When they do, or are critical in any way, you all attack as one. It's your bonding activity.

I didn’t want to leave this hanging so I am going to answer it.

I couldn’t give a fuck if someone disagrees with me. I think I am capable enough to handle a different opinion, I will of course produce evidence to generally support my posts.

If you remember, you admitted that your first post on this thread was angry and based on anger.

And I disagree that we ‘attack as one’. Some people might back others if they feel they have a point. Generally though, posters post their own negative reactions coming from their own point of view and perspective.

I am sure people who cannot accept that they have posted something that denigrates the board in general would feel that the ‘board’ is persecuting them. When what is happening is that women are fucked off by posters that feel they can denigrate with impunity and call it ‘disagreement’.

I suggest you go back to your very first post on this thread and tell us why anyone should have responded positively to you.

So , no. I don’t believe denigrating posts = disagreement.

what part of

”I'm astounded at how right wing this place has become.”

”You do sound like bigots when you use it. Like racist bigots, to be specific.”

This is Farage feminism.

Did you think was not denigrating and just ‘disagreement’?
