But you know, having to point out for sheer convenience the specific kind of viewpoint I'm talking about when it should be obvious to anyone with a brain is kinda pointless. I didn't feel obligated to put "radical" or "some" in front of the word "feminists" every damn time. I just assumed people would get right off the bat what I was talking about.
But hooray for completely ignoring everything I said just to make assumptions about me based on absolutely nothing.

Well I did know what you were talking about immediately, because I feel the same way about these 'radical' feminists or whatever we wish to call them. I just felt the need to point out that not all feminism is like that because even though you are referring to one particular strain of feminist action, a lot of people are misguided into thinking that all feminism is like this. So I just felt the need to point that out. Otherwise I completely agree with you when you make the point that radical feminism is slightly outrageous and I do know what you are talking about.
