The reason I can't get behind any of your rants Boo Boo is how you basically find a reasonable group, and then give them a ridiculous agenda just so you can rail against them.

Sure 'radical' might be implied, but you're basically excusing yourself to make massive generalisations, so you only have to go after the the easiest target imaginable. Similarly, an argument against Islam becomes very easy when you spend all your focus on suicide bombers. Because the 'extremism' was so obvious you didn't need to say it.

But yeah, radical feminism is a hypocritical and unhelpful stance. So in the end you're right.
