She thinks we should stop associating with TERFS as if terfs are on the opposite side of the coin from TRAs. This is false. It’s an idea that TRAs have made everyone believe. Most people are not radfem. Radfem analysis is not the issue, it’s assholes. TRAs don’t corner the market on asshole behaviour, and they call ALL of us terfs, even men. we need to be calling out ignorant bigots, in general, if we are going to call out anyone. And start telling people on our own side that they are making things worse by acting like fools. GCs in general are behaving much worse than radfems as a whole. IMO

What is it that Radfem/GC do that make them ignorant? At most, I seen those who refer themselves as such be misandrist.

Radfem and gc are different things. Avoid automatically combining them. All radfems are critical of gender, but not all gcs are radfem. Both groups have some wild ideas and asshole members. But that goes for any group. Radfems are a group concerned with women’s lib, they are going to come across as “misandrist” by default, and some of them are. Just as we ALL, including men, are considered TERFS. Cutting out groups of female allies because they make us look bad to men is essentially how we got here to begin with. I wish people would stop making everything about goddamn man-hating and focus on the target for like 5 seconds.

Ah, alright! Thanks for the answer.
