I've got some education in psychology. I'm not a therapist or a doctor by any means, but I do know some psychology.

A number of my professors in college were also self-described "feminists." Of course they were the pro-sex variety that think even prostitution should be legalized. They didnt talk about "rape culture" very much at all. But I've read from both sides over the years. And it's just my opinion the sex-negative types are a bit off the radical end of the spectrum. But that's just my opinion.
