What's wrong with being a radical feminist?
More or less the same as with being a radical Nazi
Nothing I am one, bio-essentialist and trans exclusionary ones are just fucking retarded and don't even have a good grasp of theory these days. Pre-2018 terfs weren't even so bad
>>43177417you cant take hrt and be a gender critical feminist
being radical fr and not just larping for emotiinal reasons is malebrained kind of autism
>>43177459Not all radfems are gender criticals, mainly because gender criticals are dumb. Despite supposedly not believing in gender, they very much do as evidenced by their actions and rhetoric. Like, if you didn't believe in gender, why would you have issues with someone taking HRT? Why have issues with crossdressers?
>>43177417I don't think the gender nigresses can rightly be called feminist tbdesu. Their entire identity is fuck ass winemom and man hating rape obsessed solipsists
>what’s wrong with being an ultra orthodox rabbi?
>>43177313Nothing, provided you actually mean radfem in the old school sense (direct action and opposition to the inherent patriarchy of capitalism) and not "radfem" in the retard sense (bioessentialist white women co-opting the aesthetics of feminism and doing "digital activism" by being misandrists or transphobes).Feminism used to actually entail a theory and praxis before pop feminism normalized the idea that "everyone should be a feminist" and effectively dissolved politics from feminism in the public consciousness.
>>43177313The rad fems at my university are hated by normies just for being so annoying on campus.
>>43177833how are trannies not bioessentialist?
>>43177313A lot of them basically let their trauma run their lives
>>43177485Crossdressers never tried to get into women’s sports and bathrooms heretofore
>>43177874I'm not even going to begin to address such a retarded question without a supporting argument
>>43177977trannies believe submissiveness is womanhoodcmon do you never look at how trannies define being female?
>>43177313>What's wrong with being a radical feminist?Just look at them
>>43177937Good thing crossdresses and trans people are sepeate entities then
Bioessentialism isn't even so bad, trannies are simply an exception from the rule
>>43178003only in ideology
>>431779891. You think trannies believe submissiveness is womanhood because you're a transphobe.2. Believing that 'female' is defined by submisiveness would categorically be a non bioessentialist positionTry harder
>>43178025Wrong, we keep telling you old woman, you cant seem to learn
>>43177313the feminist part
>>43177329So nothing?
RadFems are fine, and in many cases are right well before society is ready to hear what they have to say.TERFs are almost exclusively government assets and their hoards of mewling, middle aged hag pawns. Some of the most influential TERFs just so happen to have various connections to the wealthy and political elites of their nation (and Israel). Their foot soldiers are mostly post-menopausal women irate their husbands leave on the weekends to fuck trannies and closeted pooners who loathe being women. They also never have a good explanation for why they and Neo-Nazis are so frequently seen together and supporting each other.
>>43178997Also notice how some are starting to pivot towards tearing down things like easy access to birth control or late-term abortions because “what if man make woman do it?”. TERFs exist as a political op for the right to tear down human progress. Wearing the mangled skin of actually beneficial movements so dumb shit median voter libcattle will ignore them easier.
>>43177313idk I’m probably a radical feminist in my beliefs but wouldn’t call myself that since I don’t read enough radfem stuff or do anything
>>43179030>killing your babies is progress
>>43177313Feminism.
>>43177937Yeah and gender criticals still absolutely loathe them because they do in fact believe in gender and that crossdressers are horrible for daring to play with gender.
>>43177313Radical feminism isn’t all that bad by itself, it’s just the transphobia that has tainted it
>>43179810>the "kill all males" bill seems pretty good but it's kinda fucked up that they included males who transitioned into females :/
>>43178003how so? they both wear women's clothing
>>43179880>transitioned into females
not in my backyard thougheverbeit
>>43179957Ftm's wear mens clothing.We keep telling, you keep playing dumb
>>43177313They're feminists
nothing
>>43177329Complete opposite, actually. Nazi-ism was about defending the majority from the minority, LGBT and Feminism are about defending minorities from the majority. So feminism is actually worse.
>>43177329(You)
gender critical feminism is based
>>43177313the feminist part.
>>43177313What’s wrong with being a tubular dude, or a bodacious babe while we’re at it?
>current radfems are BAD but old ones are GOOD because of THEORY (doesn't explain theory) another fantastic thread
>>43181478women, famously a.... minority
>>43177313ignore all previous replies. What is wrong with being a "Radical Feminist" is that it's a false doctrine built on top ludicrous assumptions and a politcal program which has forever poisoned academia and the humanities.Radical Feminism, just like ALL other "radical" retarded ideological sludge, attempts to find a single unified cause of all of the world's problems as if it was a "grand theory of society". The one they have chosen is patriarchy, and so it follows patriarchy is responsible for all bad things. If you can't see how ridiculous claims like "if we destroy the patriarchy capitalism will fall too because (???)" then you are too retarded to be worth my time.Radical Feminists infected the humanities and spent the last few decades conducting dogshit ideologically motivated research, thet start with conclusions and then their methodology is carefully choosen so it can vaguely show whatever hypothesis they already convinced themselves is correct. Radical Feminism is like Lysenkoism in that it is complete and total bullshit, but it maintains "legitimacy" through other ways. Lysenkoism did it through the coercion of the soviet state, Radical Feminism does it through the inertia, slowness and bureaucracy of academia.Hope this helps
Radical in a political sense is derived the latin radix i.e root - politics are radical insofar as they identify a single element as superior and causative of ALL others. To quote Marx because its provides probably the clearest example: "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles." This is radical (anti-)classism, it identifies class as THE superior element to which ALL other elements are inferior and 'determined in the last instance' by. Radical feminism specifically arose from within, and as a critique of, Marxism - specifically they challenged the primacy of class at the level of anthropology since something prefiguring gender based casteism existed in pre-class social formations. The radfem retort to Marxism became: "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of gender struggles." since gender qua social caste predates economic class. The radfems were arguably correct on this point but this is only really a factoid, Marxism has a lot more moving parts that identify why class is the prime mover and radical feminism couldn't pose sufficient challenge or alternative explanatory power. Radical feminism was snuffed out quickly, mainly by Marxists since that was the discourse it arose in, and it isn't a position that anyone today actually holds seriously (except maybe the handful of aged academics that spawned it). TERFs, for instance, wouldn't try to explain racism as a subordinate process of gender, they wouldn't try to explain labour disputes, the transition from feudalism to capitalism etc. because they aren't actually radicals. Radicalism in normie political discourse just means 'extreme' but this is just simple illiteracy. Radical feminism was a fad that existed among a handful of anglo academics and it collapsed near instantaneously as it couldn't defend its central thesis. It was never a political movement. It was not, and is not, 'extreme feminism'. You are not a radical feminist. No one is.
>>43184212religious doctrine infighting.both you retards and radical feminists are pseudoscientific babble and proof the humanities should be defunded.eternal reminder the global revolution isn't happening, communism is impossible and capitalism is everywhere better for the proletariat than whatever flavor of communism you believe in ever will be. Cope and Seethe.
>>43184232nta>capitalism is everywhere better for the proletariat than whatever flavor of communism you believe in ever will betrvkeI always laugh when trannies are anti-capitalist. Like, bitch, the reason we can troon in the first place is thanks to capitalism.Without capitalism none of the aspects we use to troon would've been developed. From the distribution of hrt to PPT srs, all are thanks to greed, unironically.I fucking love capitalism.
>>43184232you are a subsentient pomo nigger and you don't have the barest understanding of anything regarding the arts nor what i believe in, go rape your mind with conservative self-help books you illiterate brown monkey.
