Feminist Civil War - you're either with the Liberals or the Radicals
This little wank starts out with a (mostly) harmless post in feminist that asks Are you a Liberal or a Radical?

mintogrubb then steps up to the plate with his two cents worth:
Someone has already said that this community is divided into radical feminists and liberal feminists.
It seems to me that the Rads, not the Libs, have the upper hand here, and want to frame every debate by their own terms of reference. So, do we Libs want to adress the balance, or start over with a Liberal Feminist community that will allow us to put our point over without being told that we are 'selling out', 'should be angry, and if we are not, we don't understand', and ought to fall in with the Radicals, who are the only source of ultimate wisdom?


He goes on to cite a story where a father, angry his ex-wife for divorcing him, killed both the woman and his son.

The spooge begins to fly:
hallelujah snarks and then adds, Why do you want to divide feminists? There aren't sides : It's not a war.
joelandrewtyson observes, That story doesn't seem to support your case at all. What does an insane guy killing his family have to do with patriarchy? You're comparing apples and big, huge crazy watermellons.

More people poke holes in mintogrubb's murder story and characterization of Liberals and Radicals.

And calebsdoodee dukes it out with kamuela about the irony of the statement All generalizations are wrong.

Also, don't miss the obligatory Let's end this civil war before it starts. We're all here because we're feminists. End of story. post.
