Man, if you’re going to use “liberal feminism” as an insult you should know what it means. Liberal feminism is NOT synonymous with “mainstream, non intersectional feminism”. That’s not what it means, nor what it has ever meant.

Liberal feminism is feminism that works within existing systems. Sure, there are valid criticisms of it as an overarching ideal, but maybe be educated on what it means if you want to make broad generalisations.

We are all trapped within the system and to spurn the idea of liberal feminism is to purposefully ignore those who genuinely need changes in the system in order to be safe, it ignores the most vulnerable.

I don’t consider myself rad or lib fem, but I’m not quite ridiculous enough to claim that entire, vital sections of feminism have no use just so I can redefine them to try and make it easier to insult other women.

Maybe stop rewriting feminist history in order to justify your misogyny.

Edit: if you think that “existing systems are corrupt” is a reason to ignore all the systems and thus the vulnerable people trapped inside them then maybe you need to take a harder look at why the fuck you’re a feminist in the first place?
