im Sorry but you two cant get the marriage. the bible said Adam and Eve not matthew and ashley. come back when youve legally changed your names

Sorry, I am bitter.  I slowly watched a good friend became a radical feminist and would talk about how terrible men are when she should know why that hurts me.

And now finding out tonight that someone I once really admired and looked up to is now identifying as a radical feminist just upsets me.

I can handle strangers on the internet being this way, but when I know someone personally who becomes one…I hate the person it makes me.  I am disgusted by these people so much and I hate the feelings it rises up in me.

I still haven’t figured out how to work through these feelings.

What’s a radical feminist?

Ah…

Well.

My first thought and answer to this with:  They are delusional people who are often narcissistic, self-righteous, disgusting, hateful, assholes who feel justified in abusing other people and/or manipulating them.  They use the guise of “fighting for women’s rights” to make them appear the good guys while holding so tightly to their victim complex.  They take feminism to an disgusting and dangerous extreme.

Granted, every large group/movement has an extreme.

Think of PETA for animal rights or WBC for Christianity.

My second thought was to ask the people around me and they told me to answer with:  They are women who are so convinced that they are the victim in every situation that they are unable to be convinced or shown otherwise.  They will manipulate any situation to show how they are actually the victims.

But, to try and give you a serious answer to this question:  It’s a branch of Feminism that focuses on patriarchy as a system of power that organizes society into a complex of relationships based on an assumption that men are in a place of power and abuse that power to purposely oppress women.

Basically, every group of Feminism holds a different idea as to why women are oppressed or hurt by society.  Or view things a bit differently.  Radical feminism basically believe men are terrible pieces of shit and what is ultimately wrong with the world today.

Example:  Some feminists view pornography as liberating for women as those who are in pornography are being expressive and taking control of their sexuality.  Especially with all the work that has gone in to making porn a safer business for both the men and women who are involved.  Radical feminists view it as a horrific and barbaric practice relating it to rape and/or slavery of women and that women who say they consent or want to be in the porn industry are merely brain washed by the patriarchy.

If you’ve been treated badly throughout your life, your natural reaction is going to be to get angry, and that’s understandable. Anger is born from terrible situations. Nobody can fault you for that. 

But if your anger causes you to lash out at anybody other than the specific individuals who made you that angry in the first place, that’s your hangup. Nobody else’s. 

THIS HAS BEEN YET ANOTHER PSA. 

ACCURATE.

Wow.  She’s a radical feminist now?  Gross.
