Again....you men.

There aren't gendered definitions of words and phrases, dude. There's just what it means. It's not my version vs "man" version.

Why do y'all think you get to redefine words based on what strokes your egos and confirms your bias? Jesus. Aren't y'all fucking special.

From Wikipedia: Radical feminism is a perspective within feminism that calls for a radical re-ordering of society in which male supremacy is eliminated in all social and economic contexts, while recognizing that women's experiences are also affected by other social divisions such as in race, class, and sexual orientation.

It hasn't for a damned thing to do with hair color, pesentation, affect, judiciary sentences, who's a murder and who's not or any other that other bullshit you and that other guy said.

Only, I would add legal contexts to that definition are reword that bit about male supremacy to make more clear that radicap feminists don't want to usurp men with female supremacy. What they really want is an end to supremacist thinking altogether.

Radical feminists are your "smash the Patriarchy" feminists. They want an end to gender tropes, racial tropes, age tropes, able tropes...all the tropes.

Liberal feminists tend to want to hold on to the tropes in ways they benefit from them, but also say "smash the Patriarchy" to erode the tropes they have been harmed by.

Radical, especially of change or action, relates to or seeks to affect change in the fundamental nature of something. When we're talking about Patriarchy, or dominance hierarchy, the whole thing hinges and is supported in beliefs that one type of human is better than another type of human. That's it fundamental nature. Without those beliefs, there is no dominance hierarchy.

Radical feminists seek to challenge and change those beliefs because in the end, they're all smoke and mirrors. Belief is not fact.

You can do that regardless of what your hair color is.
