How and why I became a radical feminist. Yes I had a radical feminist as a mom, and three sisters that were also. But there was one moment when it all hit me like a ton of bricks. Sure I had read the books, knew all the rhetoric. But one day this all became very real, with names and faces.

@corlin You could easily become a radical feminist just sitting there doing nothing changing nothing. Just believing that all humans are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights.
Just continuing to believe that as politics changed around you. As men begin saying, oh no they aren't! Not women! No rights for them.
And just like that a moderate becomes a radical.

Yes all true.
My journey was from head knowledge, books, articles, and intellectual knowledge.
To punch in the gut reality.
I liken it to, one might know all about fire safety,
Too fuck, man, the house is on fire !
