i’m the witch...... you’re the WOOOOOOOOOOOOORRLD............

Thank you so much for sending me some questions from @radfemlibrarian‘s ask game! 29.  What is your opinion of misandrists? I don't think misandry exists because for it to exist women would need to be the ones in the privileged position. How can we be oppressive towards males when we aren’t privileged over them? 35.  What lead you to your current view of radical feminism? I used to be a TRA. I talked about what led me to become a radfem more in this post. But here's the TLDR version: I met and fell in love with a rad-leaning woman who wasn’t the mean nasty terve everyone told me she’d be. I then started to begin thinking critically for myself and question what I was told. I started to research and agree with people on radblr, and overall it was kind of scary because it meant I had to leave all that I had known. As for my current views of radfeminism, I think they are definitely shaped by the fact that I think everything holds nuance, and that things aren’t always black and white. I think my time in the TRA community has also led to me having compassion for many of its members, since I’m able to see their POV. But that doesn’t mean TRAs are right (nuance, people!), and every day I get more and more solidified in my beliefs now that I am able to think for myself freely.  46.  Are you ‘out’ as a radical feminist? I’m ‘out’ to a few of my irl friends, but I’ve also lost quite a few because of it. I’m slowly learning to be more open with my beliefs, since I know it helps other women. Before the pandemic I joined a newly formed radfem group in my area, but unfortunately we haven’t done more than stickerbomb since we can’t really meet up. I hope to do more work in the future though and to become more open despite the threats and harassment I've faced
