YES! exactly! they criticize the group by hating on individuals. and if you claim it's divisive or aything like that, they quickly say you just don't want to acknowledge your privilege.

Yes, perfect summary of it! I wonder if it's a particularly American problem, because we're so used to thinking in individualistic ways? (And the west, generally) I know that many libfems seem to struggle with the class-based analysis of radical feminism, too. Maybe it's the same problem with both.
