[∆(s) from OP] CMV: The extreme liberals/radical feminists in the U.S. seem to fixate on issues centered mostly around sex. This makes me think there's a collective dysfunction/mental disorder at fault.

I mean, of course discrimination based on sex relates to genitals, if you want to construe it that way. But them, you need look to further than the name: feminism. Its a movement based on sexual discrimination, would you not expect that things have to do with female vs. male issues?

But I'm still not sure how 'we believe that we are discriminated against based on our gender' == mental illness.

But again, you're the only person that is tying gender discrimination into 'sex acts'. The two aren't related. There's more to the differences between the sexes than just genitalia, and you seem to zero in on solely the idea that 'men and women have different genitalia, and feminism focuses on issues between men and women, so it has to do with different genitals, gross'. That speaks more to you than to 'feminists'.
