I didn't say that people can't change their mind. I didn't say which wave of feminism started it. I didn't say it was a religion. I didn't say that any movement didn't learn from its mistakes.

What I did say is that a certain faction of rad fems did push this and that this ideology opened a door for something to come back on them.

I really don't care for false-opposites and misdirection. That is when you argue A and someone says anti-B implying that you argued B. Perhaps you are not actually replying to me, but writing an apologetic for rad fems.

I still reject the idea that radfems came up with the first made up sexual orientation. The issue with transbians is they are men who call themselves women, and they existed before women pushed for female liberation as what we would call 'radical feminism' from the 1960s. A man inserting himself into a subset of women, such as lesbians, is a natural extension of claiming womanhood.

I never said that you said people can't change their mind. I never said you specified which wave started it, and it's unnecessary for anyone to do so since radical feminism formed from the second wave. I was creating further discussion since this is a forum, and pointing out that even if women caused a problem for themselves, they can recognise it and solve it. And now I'm making the point that any idea radical feminists come up with can be misconstrued as causing problems which men were doing all along, because this is a discussion, and conversation flows. Unless you took this as some sort of debate.
