        Radfems aren’t really a nowadays thing. They are to second wave feminism what evangelicals are to Christianity and have less power now than they did in the 80s

            Idk I never really bothered with them because neither side of that ever sounded like people I wanted to interact with.

            It’s folks like Germaine Greer. They start with basic feminist stances but progress from less controversial stances like “women’s bodies are regularly objectified and commodified in our society resulting in a situation where the very act of being perceived as a woman often comes with unwanted sexual advances” and will take it to more and more controversial positions like that due to misogyny in society women cannot meaningfully consent to sex with men. They’re also just notoriously transphobic as well.
