    Ok, but the best feminists are radical feminist that are sex work and trans inclusive. I don’t like people lumping terfs with radical feminist. Terfs are neither radical nor feminist

      While radfem is literally a portmanteau of radical feminist, it’s a colonized term that refers specifically to certain second wave tendencies that are notorious today for being exclusionary.

      From a lot of the reading Ive done tonight to educate myself more about it, it seems like RadFem is a co-opted term similar to say how Libertarian was taken by right wingers.

      Stuff like Anarcha-Feminism or even Marxist-Feminism would be the better ideologies.

      too bad they have basically taken over and co-opted the term RadFem along with misandrists, you technically could still use it, but you’d get a few side eyes cus that is what most think of RadFems as…
