Re: Advice Column

Apples and oranges. You're comparing a religious philosophy -- one that despite schisms over details, still shares largely the same major elements from one sect to another -- to a far more fractious political and social philosophy and movement.

And I never said that radfems weren't true feminists. They are feminists. The problem is that feminism as a movement has a lot of differing viewpoints that have far greater variance on core philosophies than most religious sub-organizations.

It's impossible for feminism to distance itself from its radical element any more than religious organizations can. The difference is that outside of some very basic tenets -- ending sexual violence, for example -- there are no central "rules" or beliefs that one must follow (which some would argue is an anti-feminist idea anyway) whereas Christianity as an organized religion struggles with contradictory dogma that is impossible to follow to the letter for legal, moral and logical reasons, despite that dogma insisting that it must be followed to the letter.

I agree with you that radfems give anti-fems plenty of ammo. But AYRT is a troll bringing up early 2nd-wave feminism in an attempt to be confrontational and inflammatory, but those same people in the quotes are largely ignored or discredited today simply by dint of their views being outdated and extreme. They aren't Popes of Feminism and their views were their own, and shouldn't be assumed to apply to all of feminism like AYRT was trying to imply.
