I have long held the view that radical feminists are nihilists by another name. They espouse separatism on every level. They demand a rigidity towards politics and the political which is just as unbending as any patriarchy. They undermine that there is any value in empathy whatsoever. They have so totally conflated gender with identity that they are unable to see anyone as simply 'human', only by how they gender-identify.
I read the article. It is so marred by generalisations and (whoops, there they are again) invalid syllogisms that it is laughable. But, of course, she won't enter into any kind of dialogue about her views. Oh, how very 'radical' to set up an opinion and then not listen to anyone else's views about it - to even go so far as to censor responses that disagree. Doesn't that sound like the very worst kind of attitude usually associated in the past with a stereotypical male???
Really, anyone that associates themselves with this lovely little corner of hatred - http://www.questioningtransgender.org/ - couched in nonsensical rhetoric, which I found when having a look at the links to other sites on that page, can only want one thing. Death to difference. Death to inclusivity. Death to any sense of kinship or harmony or compassion.
Wow. It made me SO SO FUCKING mad. I may have to go and write vast amounts of incredibly graphic gay porn to make myself feel better. Sheesh.
