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.
I'm sorry, it's generalizing when you imply that a whole group does it because a minority does it, which is what I'm trying to avoid, I mean i already knew that's what people were going to accuse me of doing, because so many people like to throw that word around not knowing what it actually means, but whatever.

I'm very clearly talking about radicals here, and you know, I don't understand the logic of "well there's also people who aren't radicals, so for the sake of political correctness let's never have discussions about radicals EVER". And I have that problem with Islam too, even some of the moderate Muslims seem to be so incredibly delusional that they think radical Islam should NEVER be discussed, as if it's not relevant and you'd have to be a goddamn idiot to think it isn't.

Anyway, I guess it was the title. *Changed*
