I was recently informed by a male “feminist” that radical feminism is redundant/dead/outdated/no longer relevant. Oh, yeah? As long as there is rape, murder, beatings, femicide, honor killings, prostitution, porn, trafficking, arranged marriages, female genital mutilation, and…MRA action… we aren’t done yet and we’re just getting fucking started.

A new wave of young women ARE catching on to carry this into the next generation. I have witnessed a multitude of radical feminist groups and activist circles spring up just in the past couple of months. The new generation is welcomed with open arms by the sisters who have been at this for decades. We’ve got the internet now to let us know just how bad the problem is. We’re reading the news, we’re watching, and we’re pissed.

And the libfems are getting more suspicious of this dubious male version of feminism every day. Watching them radicalize right in front of me daily. We’re catching on, d00dbros. You know what we’re sick of? Being mansplained to about feminism from men who will turn around and smack us the next minute. Know what we’re starting to realize? Feminism got hijacked by men right when our sisters were introducing legislation banning pornography and decriminalizing prostitution, putting the onus on the Johns to own up to their misogyny and abuse. Miraculous how the moment the wave pierces the crux of some major problems, we see a nice split with MEN not-so-ironically carrying the torches on the front lines. There are white upper class men teaching women’s studies now.

And when every damn day I wake up, check the news, and hear about women—my sisters—being raped, killed, tortured, maimed, and violated by male systems, you better believe we are getting fed the fuck up and we are looking for answers. We pick up the work of our foresisters, make the damn connections, and get into the fight. I personally know HUNDREDS upon HUNDREDS of radical feminists and MANY of them came from liberal feminism just in the past couple of years. Ages range from 16 to 71 (just out of the ones I know personally). We get it. Undoing 5,000+ years of male rule won’t happen overnight and anyways we have coffee. You better start thinking about how you’re going to evolve, men, because we’re not going to sit around and wait for your approval—check with the unicorns on our team for some pointers. Unchain our sisters cause we’re marching, we’re coming, and we’re not smiling.
