What in the world the "radical feminist agenda"?

[hedgehog]

The trad blogs are all atwitter that the Sisters associated with the LCWR are pushing a radical feminist agenda. What does that mean? Is there any relationship to the gay agenda? Are toasters involved?

1. To overthrow the Patriarchy

(As opposed to seeking relative accommodation within the patriarchy)

You asked and that's the literal answer to the question.

Now as to who or what is pursuing that agenda, and whether things like good wages and reliable access to contraception are "radical," that's for wing-nuts to debate.

The wing-nut idea of "radical" feminism is a woman asking for a raise.

10. It's a straightforward definition

"Radical feminism is a current theoretical perspective within feminism that focuses on the theory of patriarchy as a system of power that organizes society into a complex of relationships based on an assumption that male supremacy oppresses women. Radical feminism aims to challenge and overthrow patriarchy by opposing standard gender roles and oppression of women and calls for a radical reordering of society."

I cannot scarcely imagine that anyone would disagree. ("Radical" does not primarily mean extreme. It is not a pejorative term, though of course people take it that way when it suits them.)

2. It's the radical notion

that women are people too, and deserve all the rights, titles and appurtenances appertaining thereto.

3. Not listening to men all the time is sometimes seen as radical.

By some people.

4. You can't just disagree with someone these days

you have to accuse them of having a "radical {insert negative label here} agenda"...

And we can see quite quite clearly from your posts that you have a radical post-modernist anti-toaster agenda.

6. I don't have an anti-toaster agenda, I merely insist that

that proper toast emerges only when the setting is "4" and those who set the toaster at "2" are eating warm bread and merely pretending to be eating toast!

11. Aha! A shill for Big Toaster!

13. When it comes to radical, you take the toast..

5. "I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is. "

"I only know that people call me a feminist when I express a sentiment that differentiates me from a doormat or a prostitute." -Rebecca West

P.S. It was a toaster oven, dammit!

8. It is

forcing girl scouts into being gay and then selling them abortions. I haven't had a right winger explain to me how a gay girl scout gets pregnant. I suspect that might be where the; it's not rape if you weren't beaten law comes in.

9. Sisters?

Our Lady of the Broken Toaster?
