(Anonymous) 2016-02-22 12:01 am (UTC)(link)That IS taking feminism and gender equality to an extreme, making it out to be a zero-sum game of two genders only which are always in a competition where women must 'beat' men to achieve equality due to men historically being the winners, instead of working at cooperation for the future.

I went into this more in my reply to diet_poison, but basically I see gender essentialist beliefs as so common, and hardly distinct to feminism, that I find it hard to view that as an example of feminist extremism in itself. Religious fundamentalists and Redpillers have the same gender essentialist views, and those views aren't taken as an example of extreme feminism in them, so why would it be the case for radfems?

(Anonymous) 2016-02-22 12:06 am (UTC)(link)Emphasis mine.
That's why it's feminist extremism, it's all about gender equality taken to an extreme. Gender equality is a feminist fundamental.

When you factor in that extremist is also a term that has the qualifier "especially one who resorts to or advocates extreme action." it's even less so.
"Eliminate the patriarchy" = not that extreme. "Eliminate the patriarchy by neglecting male babies" = extreme.

(Anonymous) 2016-02-22 12:14 am (UTC)(link)I thought of an example I'm sure you're familiar with.
"There's a special place in Hell for women who don't help each other [and vote for Hillary Clinton]."
Qualifies as a radical feminist statement, as it reduces a presidental race into a single point: gender. Above all else.
Feminists all over the political spectrum decried that remark until Albright apologized and Hillary tellingly didn't.

(Anonymous) 2016-02-22 12:29 am (UTC)(link)Taking the responsibility to say "these weren't my remarks but I apologize for them having been said" would have done wonders for her respectability. She told feminists that they were too easily offended, instead.
