    I never disagreed with you there, of course you can't be a radical feminist muslim. I just said that I think we should accept non-radfems participating in the sub as long as they're respectful and interested in radfem positions.

      I really never ever said or suggested that you can call yourself a radfem and be muslim. I pretty explicitly said you can't. I'm not sure why you are arguing with me about this. It has nothing to do with my original point and I think I was very clear that I don't think you can be a muslim radfem.

      My response was SOLELY meant to hedge against the idea (implied in the OP itself and some of the other posts) that we should only accept radfem posters in a radfem forum, since I think being welcoming to/explaining ourselves to other women may be helpful for them and for GC ideology in general. My main point was I don't think r/GC or this saidit sub should be exclusively for radfem posters, and that I don't think r/GC was, historically, exclusively for radfem posters. You literally started arguing with me because I said this: "my impression of "gender critical" both on reddit and here is more that it is a discussion space which centers the tenets of radical feminism, not that it is a space exclusively for radical feminists. I'd be interested in such a space but I always viewed GC as being more of an anti-censorship women's sub than a strictly radfem sub.

      That's why I don't have a problem with women participating who aren't knowledgeable about radical feminism, as long as they are participating broadly following the sub culture and rules."

      You are telling me nothing of note by continuing to argue that muslims can't be radfems which I said was true in my very first post. My point was made VERY EXPLICIT and my point was that I don't think non-radfems should be banned from posting or reading the sub. That is ALL.
