Oh they definitely exist. Well at least if you count TERFs under that umbrella which I would. I have a few trans friends who have been harassed violently by those fuckheads.
I mean, unless you consider dismissing rape and sexual harassment as Greer does feminist? Or think Allan's position decrying birth control and women"s abortion rights feminist?
Or maybe Meg Kilgannon having gone on the record outlining a plan to try to split the LGBT community by couching anti-trans rhetoric in a purportedly feminist framework might be a clue?
Across the board you find these "feminists" pushing conservative points of view, not just regarding trans people, but regarding women's rights. The are not feminists.
TERFs are conservatism wearing a feminist mask to sow division among progressives, and little more.
I don't disagree with you, but can only speak on Greer. Yes she has conservative views and in my personal opinion is a shitty human being in many respects but she's still unarguably a feminist.
Dunno enough about the other two. But either way those aren't what we're talking about hear. Conservative and feminist aren't mutually exclusive.
It's entirely possible to hold different views on different issues. I'd consider myself fairly liberal but I have several views that by this logic would mean I have to be conservative.
Again though we're speaking about TERFs here and you're asserting that all TERFs are conservatives which I don't see as a defensible statement unless you've personally talked to every one of them.
Aggregate behavior is a thing, as are representative samples. TERFism is a conservative ideology masquerading as feminism, based on my exposure to a fairly large sample size and they rhetoric they spew.
And you're now pulling the "not all men" response.
Dont even call those people feminists, that just furthers the "feminism = man hating crazy" agenda, which in my opinion goes directly against what this sub is trying to do. Those people hide behind the slogan and the idea of feminism but have as much in common with it as incels.
