Definitions are only relevant if a given movement is acting in accordance to it. If anything this commonly cited definition is more akin to a pet definition seeing as how it’s always brought up to draw attention away from what academic,political and mainstream feminist do and say.
This goes back to a common fallacy of feminist apologetics. Exactly where do we draw the line between "real"and “radical feminist.” Do feminist sites like Jezebel,salon,buzzfeed and feminist like Jessica valenti,Gail dines and Amanda Marcotte count or do we just use the good examples that don’t incriminate the movement.
Again what constitutes the norm in feminism. Feminist can’t really seem to awnser this question but instead just point to some vague nebelous concept of what "real"feminism is suppose to be. Is a feminist like clementine Ford and her articles the norm, is something like this the norm http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/dec/16/ban-men-2014-women-misandry
If there was a difference between the "norm"and"radicals"it’s clearly converged to the point that the difference is barely noticeable.
You should recuse yourself from this conversation Sennin given your obvious political biases against feminism and feminists oh and against women in general, for the sake of ethics and integrity.
