    “Radical” feminism, ie, not true feminism. Hijacking the name to try oppress men ‘in return’ for women being oppressed, or to oppress trans people.

      I think you need to read up more on what radical feminism is. It is more down the rabbit hole than you’re describing.

      It’s not the flipping of society to place women in men’s roles. it’s the eventual elimination of man-woman destinction entirely. Their end goal is for genitals to eventually not matter culturally. They attack ‘The Patriarchy’ because it is the current cultural zeitgeist that must be dismantled to make way for this liberated non-binary society they envision.

        I’m very much in favour of gender abolition, but I’m not sure that’s what TERFs who self describe as ‘radical feminists’ mean by the term :p

          Well, that’s because TERFs are posers that don’t know any of radical feminism’s actual theory.

          It’s kind of like how anarchocapitalists call themselves ‘libertarians’. They are entirely just muddying the waters either out of sheer ignorance or active malice.
