Truly bizarre. And ironic given many of their other stances. They were totally okay with lying to women about their own bodies, in order to enforce their dogma.

I have noticed that many radical feminists employ a "pick-and-chose" mentality when it comes to scientific evidence, similar to religious apologists. For example, radfems are happy to cite science when observing that there are only 2 sexes in humans, but reject science regarding the genetic basis for sexual orientation and instead claim that "being gay is a choice!" It's hypocritical.

I don't get it. So close to making sense, and then veering off down a rabbit hole they clearly don't want to see coming. Where have we applied that statement before, many, many times? Hmm, let me think a minute.

When power and control are more important than credibility, something is very wrong.

They were sure good at shrieking at people, though. I'll give them that. And I started to understand better the baffled men who think all feminists are like that. Yelling things doesn't make them true. Beating heretics with (technological) sticks doesn't make them wrong.
