I agree that the animosity between rad fems and lib fems is counterproductive and depressing as we should be united to fight for women. It is a much better tactic to attempt to persuade the persuadable ones instead of yelling at or disparaging them.

However, I will not tolerate the smarmy lib fems, especially the ones who scream ageist or looks-based insults, or who go along with or participate in TRA verbal or physical attacks. All one has to do to see this kind of handmaiden is look at the protest crowds at rad fem events - there are women hurling vicious abuse and threats of violence at other women, right alongside the TRAs.

I will not tolerate the powerful ones who still call themselves "feminists" yet are dismantling women's rights and safe spaces. They should know better because they themselves remember when US women still lacked some basic civil rights, such as Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris, Dianne Feinstein, Liz Warren and Tammy Baldwin.

These women, who know full well what women went through and what 2nd Wave feminists fought for because they themselves lived it, are deliberately and systematically destroying almost everything feminists fought for. I have no hesitation in disparaging them or calling them traitors.
