I suspect you're in the minority. In my encounters with feminists, including liberal or radical feminists, I've not seen positive responses on the matter.

Usually the loud ones aren't the majority. Just loud.

My personal experience if there are adjectives in front of feminism approach with caution lmao. Liberal and intersectional are the worst ones. If you see that just turn around and don't even bother engaging. They are the same types that are antifa or talk a lot about privilige or follow critical race theory or have BLM or ACAB, marxism in their profiles. They define themselves differently but it's in essence the same fruitloops that ruin everything for every one else.

You don't think you're getting into 'no true feminist' territory there? I can't recall any significant feminist group of feminist who'd entertain the idea that a woman can have any causative role in being assaulted. The closest I've found is at the extreme such as agreement that walking naked through a bad neighbourhood is a terrible idea. Patriarchy as a feminist concept makes it pretty difficult to blame anything else.

The reason we add prefixes to feminism is because there are so many variations. For example, libertarian feminism is in a minority and doesn't have the collectivist bent of mainstream feminism.

The whole thing is a scam to let women off the hook from making any mature adult decisions.

You got pregnant? Its not your fault. You get to commit murder on a human being until up to 9 months gestation which is clearly a person. But dont suggest that any of these women should keep their legs together as an alternative to executing babies. Patriarchy!

This “slut walk” phenomenon. Women should be permitted to dress or behave in anyway they see fit. Women cannot even be guilty of acting sexually inappropriately. No rules for women

See, we can do whatever we want and there’s nothing you can do about it.

The woman that Harvey Weinstein was convicted of raping, asked him to her apartment, led him to her bedroom and admitted to faking an orgasm at the end of intercourse. That is a massive precedent for the total unaccountability of women.

Are you going to tell me that women who claim they are liberal feminists and slur other women, say men in frocks are women, that sex work is empowering and kinks should not be shamed including rape kinks are really feminists?

I know why we add prefixes , but usually its to shit on feminists who actually get shit done and complain about them being "white feminists"

Every prefix has its own issues that most of us want nothing to do with.

Definitely not. I'm totally with you on that. A man doesn't become a woman through surgery and hormones any more than an Impala becomes an off-road vehicle if you stick really big tires on it. Sex work is a terrible industry, largely populated by the damaged and the desperate.

The prefixes have been around for a very long time, arising as feminists tailored feminism to suit their personal issues. Political lesbianism was the most hilarious version. Pretty much second wave onwards saw the codifying of the ideology from which sects grew.
