Rad fem links [View all]

I post this link for anyone that is interested. It is a fascinating window onto an extreme sub-culture.

By the way, did you know that the word "fascinating" comes from "fascinum", Latin for an erect penis and that word itself may have come from "baskanos" -Greek for "sorcerer"

Interesting reading. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #1

I bet you'll find this one interesting. Bonobo Oct 2013 #2

That one is extremely transphobic. Behind the Aegis Oct 2013 #3

there is a lot of that, in that particular echo chamber. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #4

I was absolutely astounded at the amount of HappyMe Oct 2013 #53

Indeed. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #5

No, seriously. Here is the best blog. Bonobo Oct 2013 #6

how do they know the gender of the person plugging the search terms into google? Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #7

They specifically addressed that issue scientifically. Bonobo Oct 2013 #8

I suppose we should be thankful that the internet and free blogging platforms Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #9

They owe me a hat-eating show LadyHawkAZ Oct 2013 #11

Oh, they'll claim you're only pretending to be female. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #12

I suspect I turned into a man in some minds a long time ago LadyHawkAZ Oct 2013 #13

Some people take it WAY too seriously, I've noticed that. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #14

Good to know I'm not the only one that sees this: opiate69 Oct 2013 #20

Nope, I notice it too. nt ProudToBeBlueInRhody Oct 2013 #22

I would bet that there is a HappyMe Oct 2013 #54

There are some sick, sad, pathetic people in the world LadyHawkAZ Oct 2013 #15

I read the t.v. one Doctor_J Oct 2013 #16

My God, the PIV on TV one is amazing ProudToBeBlueInRhody Oct 2013 #17

Wow, that writer's certainly a piece of work... Hayabusa Oct 2013 #19

That author must have had some sort of trauma. Doctor_J Oct 2013 #21

There has to be. Hayabusa Oct 2013 #23

... And having sex is like being in battle. lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #18

Like this? Bonobo Oct 2013 #24

Because I'm in a Spock kinda mood lately... opiate69 Oct 2013 #25

I'd pay real money Hayabusa Oct 2013 #26

that it just a whole barrowload of crazy right there. i hope to hell no one is dumb enough loli phabay Oct 2013 #63

"Our scientists predict in 5 years we will achieve total victory over the orgasm" Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #64

lol or invites them to their beds, it would be like sleeping with a black widow loli phabay Oct 2013 #65

I don't comment on other peoples' sex lives. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #66

There is some truly jaw-dropping stuff out there. As insane in its own way as the worst MRA's. nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #27

Interestingly enough those that use MRA as a pejorative are often the ones doing the linking Major Nikon Oct 2013 #28

I think that radfems are WAY closer to being a true "hate group". Bonobo Oct 2013 #29

Hate, bitterness. From my perspective, having learned a lot about mental health issues... Denninmi Oct 2013 #30

well said. n/t lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #37

I wouldn't say that. A lot of MRA types are pretty fucking hateful. nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #31

Yep, tarring is bad. I'd like to see it stop. nt Bonobo Oct 2013 #32

So we're in agreement on that, anyway. nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #33

Oh, I absolutely agree, they have a right to their views. Denninmi Oct 2013 #34

Yeah, the stuff in the OP is clearly over-the-top and delusional. No argument there. nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #35

Perhaps, but MRAs lack the veneer of legitimacy that academia gives these people. lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #36

I basically agree with you here, and I wasn't referring to anyone on DU. nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #42

Probably none. Who would want to be associated with such hateful transphobic people? Dash87 Oct 2013 #51

Good question. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #55

Sheila Jeffreys has more academia acceptance than Dworkin ever had Major Nikon Oct 2013 #56

Why do I know that name? Behind the Aegis Oct 2013 #57

I haven't known her to write about anything other than rad-fem topics Major Nikon Oct 2013 #58

She was booted from RadFem 2012 for being a disgusting transphobe LadyHawkAZ Oct 2013 #59

I bet that was it! Behind the Aegis Oct 2013 #60

Actually, it was the entire "Radfem 2012" that got booted, from Conway Hall in London. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #61

That was the one, thanks LadyHawkAZ Oct 2013 #62

I appreciate that you hang out in a lot of different groups, and try to be fair & even handed. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #40

I agree that a lot of the accusations around here have been ridiculous, and unjust. nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #41

I've done a few terms on MIRT, and I do think some of those MRA individuals have shown up here. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #43

Both the hardline MRA's and the extremist radfems are essentially the fringe of the fringe. nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #48

Here's my take on the whole "MRA" issue... opiate69 Oct 2013 #49

Oh hell yeah! Bonobo Oct 2013 #44

FWIW MadrasT Oct 2013 #45

Thanks. Seriously. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #46

its not hate its fear and it's sad tillikum Oct 2013 #50

welcome to DU gopiscrap Oct 2013 #52

What do these women do when they encounter ... MicaelS Oct 2013 #38

My guess is that they are in many cases, shut-ins ProudToBeBlueInRhody Oct 2013 #39

Yeah, sort of like the most extreme fundamentalist Christians. Whether or not they're "shut-ins" nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #47
