I used to lurk on GC and PPF, which are 'TERF' spaces. I don't agree with their general worldview, which can basically be summed up that men as an entire collective are scumbag oppressors and need to be separated from or controlled. They're not our "allies" by any means.

However, they are obviously right about transgenders and porn. Porn does degrade its participants (women in particular) and there is a lot of shady shit involved in porn production, including trafficking and paedophilia. Big mainstream porn sites like PornHub have been known to allow and verify content from underaged and trafficked victims. It is also an undeniable fact that porn warps the mind of consumers and isn't good for your mental health.

They are right that many MTF transgenders are not women. They have no idea what it's like to be an actual woman. They're often just perverts and autogynephiles, which is what conservatives have argued for a long time. There is a tiny minority of people in the world with screwed up sex chromosomes (intersex people, XXY syndrome, etc), but this is a literal birth defect, not a gender entity. The vast majority of trans people have perfectly functioning sex chromosomes of their biological sex.

GC has posted numerous threads, etc of "transgenders" admitting they just want to experience looking like a hot young woman, getting catcalled and all that shit, before detransitioning. It's a fetish. It's also pretty obvious that there are men locked up prison for a long time who are willing to go through the motions so they can get sent to women's prisons, which is a problem if they're sex offenders. Ditto for failed male athletes who want to play in women's sports.

I will also say, in fairness, that there are redfems who are somewhat purple-pilled on race. I've read numerous posts where they admit white men aren't really the worst, that the men they've actually had shitty experiences with are actually non-white men. On PPF someone even brought up how black men are the shittiest for fucking off on their partners and leaving them as single mothers, things that ordinarily get you labelled as a white supremacist. They are also noticing how in the 'oppression hierarchy', that non-white and Muslim men come way before white women.

On many women-orientated dating and "liberal feminist" (mainstream feminism that is pro-trans, pro-porn, anti-white) spaces on reddit, it's pretty common for racial spats to break out among the sisterhood, but white women will not dare defend themselves and just nod along. Many non-white women don't hide the fact that they despise the perceived "privileges" white women have, like being the top of the pole for beauty and being desired by their men. I remember a rather hilarious thread about a study that suggested fat white women are more successful on dating sites than black women as a whole, that unleashed the claws.

I'd say, ironically, for some white women, radical feminism is probably a pipeline to the dissident right, kind of like how the manosphere has been for many white men. These are people who don't buy into mainstream liberal values about gender equality (radfems do not believe in egalitarianism and admit it) and often think in terms of men and women being intrinsically different beyond physical sexual characteristics. It's not a stretch to go from there to race realism, etc.

If you want to answer, what kinds of things do you think they tend to be not correct about?

They still parrot the gender wage gap myth, that Western societies are patriarchal; that society is set up to serve the interests of men as an entire collective. They see everything through a gendered lens, which stops them from seeing the wood from the trees.

The whole idea of the feminist "sisterhood" is a joke. Women of other races/ethnic groups, religions, etc will put men from their group before a woman from an outgroup. You see this a lot, black women often claim white women lie about being raped by black men. If you want to see the most racially homogeneous group of friends, look at a woman's social circle. Black women stick with black women, Asian women with Asian women, etc.

I also think MGTOWs, etc fall into the same trap when they blame women for everything, but that's a whole different story. I tend to despise "gender politics", they're toxic and only serve to pit the sexes against each other. None of us would even exist if MGTOWs and Radfems existed and had their way thousands of years ago.
