Radical feminists are pretty based, but they hate the fact that they are in agreement with the right on a bunch of issues. They're mostly leftists, and they try to justify the concordance by saying things like "right-wingers have the right position for the wrong reasons" etc. They refuse to admit that we might have things in common, and buy the idea that all right-wing people are misogynists and stuck in the past and motivated primarily by hate. It's really sad that a lot of them can come so close to us, but their liberal programming prevents them from joining us. The cognitive dissonance is strong. They probably would never vote for Trump.
But still, yeah, they are true feminists. I agree with them on so many things, like:
trans women are biological men
sex-based oppression is based on biological sex, not "gender"
"gender" as a concept different from "sex" doesn't exist and the way that word is used today really just represents a collection of stereotypes
"sex work" is not empowering, the vast majority of women in this field are trafficked/trapped
pornography is degrading and dehumanizing and serves as a means to normalize the fetishization of violence against women
But where I have to jump off the train is the whole "patriarchy" thing. I just can't get on board with the idea that there's a cabal of men whose entire life goal is to make sure that women are always oppressed because they are jealous of womens' ability to create life. Female oppression is real, but it is not purposeful (at least in the West... it's very purposeful in the 3rd world), and it is eroding slowly every year.
These guys are so close to taking the red pill, and yet they never will take it. just because they've arrived at the right conclusions by a very different route than the rest of us.
OP mentioned the third world, so I'm assuming things like female genital mutilation (chopping off clit then sewing up the vagina), child brides sold to 50 year old men, hymen checks (and death if there's no hymen), honor killings for being raped, femicide (mostly places like China), sex trafficking from shitholes

What female oppression? The wage gap is a myth.
