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.

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*

And the fact that in your rant you make very few specific references to radicalism, and don't go to real lengths to establish there's a significant difference between radicals and moderates. But no, I'm sure people are getting uppity based purely on the title.

Because I thought people would just figure out right off the bat what I was talking about.

There were moments where I clearly said "radical feminism" and I felt that was clear enough, I didn't have to say word in every paragraph.

This is the internet. People would far rather presume idiocy and have an argument.
