@julieofthespirits And part of fighting this will have to be offering better analysis, strategies, resources, etc because unfortunately radfems are sometimes the first people folks find when they're trying to find political movements that are fighting shit like rape and sexual violence. If people only know about bullshit liberal feminism and radical feminism, a lot of survivors will choose radical feminism until they realize what they've gotten into and/or find something better like anarcha feminism or trans feminism. We need to help more people find actual good feminism instead of reactionary crap.

@julieofthespirits That is pretty classic (crypto-)radfem strategy these days, so I don't think you're wrong. I've been worried about radfem influence for a while now and I think they could exploit the current political situation to recruit and expand their influence if they're smart enough. So yeah, best to address it now before it gets worse.

@julieofthespirits It's really bizarre seeing feminists on twitter, including some trans women, speak positively of the 4B movement because I first learned about it from tumblr radfems. Like they've been idealizing that shit for years now. This is the first time I've seen people besides TERFs get excited about 4B and I have bad feelings about where this could go, even if they try to make it "trans-inclusive".
