Do you think the purpose of feminist theory

106. I haven't seen too much what I consider extremist.

I understand there was a anti-trans poster who was banned when I was taking a little break from DU, who may have been a separatist. That's is an extreme-- and vile view to me. I read rad-fem blogs all the time. DU, feminist wise, is pretty tame.

Gendered power dynamics, rape, domestic violence pay inequities, women in the sciences gap, none of those are 'extreme'

Opinions on like things like pornography-as-oppressor and male sexual entitlement, while bring out a lot of debate, are also not extreme. Just not agreed upon, and I see communication breaking down right at the point where I would think that entitlement is feeling threatened. Now that may or may not be the case, personally I'm much better discussing these things in person, and I do, often. It's very rewarding creating a dialogue instead of a snark fest, but that's a difficult thing to do once its starts.
