(I know non-capitalism societies like feudalism are very oppressive and exploitive also, but that doesn’t change the fact that our society is horrible.)

I speak for nobody but myself. For myself, I would say that the several non-radical flavors of feminism, in general, lack the ability to address the structure of society. Suppose the topic is the corporate glass ceiling. Liberal feminism says, “Women are people, and the problem with the glass ceiling is that women are facing forms of discrimination that men do not. If that gender-based discrimination did not exist, we would have more or less equal numbers of male and female CEOs.” Okay, that’s fair as far as it goes.

Radical feminism says, “The corporate structure is, at its base, is a male ideal, so there are no surprises in the fact that men do well in corporations. Corporations are designed with hierarchy, work hours, work structure, and work expectations that match a certain archetype that men are raised to fit, and women are not. So of course more men are at home in the corporate structure, and of course women struggle to fit. If a suit is tailor-made to one person, it should shock nobody when the suit actually fits that person and other people feel awkward in it.” That goes MUCH farther that the previous formulation.

Again, other people may have a different view and I don’t claim mine is the correct one.

In their minds, they are still gamers because this is all an elaborate game to them and that’s what’s frightening. The fact that they dehumanize Zoe, Anita, and Brianna by calling them “Literally Who (LW) 1, 2, and 3″ and talk about the public perception of GamerGate if one of them is murdered is probably the part I find the most suspect about them.

What does “radical feminist” mean to you? In the circles I move in the term is entirely synonymous with trans-exclusionary radical feminism* and support for the criminalization of sex work.

*To the point where the word “radical” seems redundant; i.e. trans exclusionary feminism IS radical feminism and vice versa

YouTube was dumb enough to suggest this channel to me – another misogynistic talking head living under the false pretense of hyper-rationality and lacking the self-awareness to realize his “allies” include various reactionaries and racists.

Lacking? If you press them, you always end up with “The basic rights and dignity of non-whitecismen are just a matter of opinion, man! Calling the reactionaries and racists out is censorship, so let’s have a debate about what kinds of people count as human. And by debate I mean shut up! “. I spit on their faces.
