Fuck Radical Feminism - Tumblr Posts

Just a bit of a reminder: 'Radical Feminism' is not simply 'any feminism that is radical' or 'any feminism based on radical politics', it refers to a very specific branch of feminism centred on bioessentialist ideas, and that views misogyny as the central, most important form of oppression throughout history to the detriment of any other marginalised groups. It is overwhelmingly anti-porn and anti-kink. It rejects any queer label that doesn't meet its prescriptivist definitions, excluding anything beyond their rigid criteria for lesbians, gays, and bisexuals.

Unfortunately, we're not yet at a point where we could reclaim the term, you're best bet is to specify the school of thought ala 'intersectional feminism', 'Marxist feminism' or 'anarchafeminism', if you want to make it clear.

Lesbian radfem? You siding with the same bitches who deemed our culture as patriarchal and misogynistic and a threat to feminism? Okay....

matriarchy is just as bad as patriarchy. a world where one gender is 'better' or 'more important' than another will always be bad. This is why feminism even exists, to fight gender inequality. why in God's name would you want to just fucking replace patriarchy with matriarchy? 'women better' is just as bad as 'men better'. How about instead of pitting the genders against each other we realize that unity and equality is the way to go? I cannot believe this is a take that can get me told to kill myself, but here we are.
