So, I saw an account from a friend that said “Do not talk to me if you’re radical feminists (radfems)”. If it’s because of TERFs, I understand, but what about the rest of radical feminism? I sort of understand what it is but not why it’s bad to want to change the system and defeat the patriarchy or whatever.
This is a problem with all movements. Feminism if your looking back at jane adams is closer to socialism and despite the name but was heavily about sufferage and equality. Over time you got sorta greater and lesser extremes. You have the patriarchy term thrown around and then like things like having physical tests reduced for becoming like a firefighters (the tests are around ligting and draggin dummies of a certain size and weight). At the far extreme you get sorta a all men are evil kind of thing. Its like the way republicans push that democrats are extreme left. I mean there is an extreme left but I don’t think any currently hold a congressional seat. A few democrats are decently left but not to the point of extreme. Most extreme left you might see on the internet or at protests but they are more inclinde not even vote democrat seeing the parties as the same (much like extreme or radical feminism might view all men as the same)
