the general level of public support for TRA, and underestimated the will of the curious

And, frankly, underestimated the level of support for radical feminist ideas among libfems as long as they're not called radical feminist ideas. An awful lot of women who would swear blind that radfems were horrible mean bitter old fashioned hags will agree with radfem criticisms of surrogacy, prostitution, the unintended (by women) effects of the sex positivity movement, and even the primacy of the nuclear family as long as you don't mention the r-word.

My final post on /r/uk before they banned me for wrong-speak was in a response to a TRA who was trying to goad me about /gc being banned, i remarked to him how liberal feminism was for men and radical feminism was for women, mods banned and reason given "I doubt you understand the difference between them" - OH please excuse my tiny female brain, i cannot possibly understand what radical feminism is and MUST be informed by a penis-haver! How the fuck did we get the point of men dictating what feminism is to women??? Just told em to straight fuck off, no fucks given, why bother being polite when they're insulting my intelligence to the point of treating me like a child. Idiots.

Absolutely true. And (holy crap) it sounds like quite a few of them are pushing through their r-word fear because of the antics of their woke boyfriends (!). Didn't expect that. 😄

The primacy of the nuclear family

Really? The nuclear family is a trap set for women. Generational structures in which grandmothers aid mothers(grandfathers don't live long without medical intervention tbqh) is much better for both women and children.
