I was curious about radical feminism at one point and joined Ovarit and checked out tumblr radfem blogs but...

I started to notice many hateful comments after a while. There was one saying that ALL men are predators by nature and another post telling women not to have kids because then they might accidentally give birth to an "oppressor" and that apparently we have too many in this world. Also, some biphobic comments etc.

That turnt me away right away after reading that many times over. How the hell do these ladies think they were born in the first place?? It's like the people who complain about sexist men and say "Is that how they treat their mothers, sisters, aunts, or wives?" but then... they're really doing the same thing, is that how they treat their fathers, brothers, uncles and husbands?

I grew up mostly around boys/men in my life, so I don't see how hating them would help them change their views on women. I educate(buzzword, shoot me) them on women's issues and have been explaining to my brothers how the TRAs affect women and also give them some dating advice...(I have experience in both worlds as a bisexual...and well, being a woman).

It looks like some are saying gender critical feminism is different than radical feminism---that all radfems are gender critical but not all gender critical feminists are radfems.
