love this author for using the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival as its first big example of “cultural feminism”
« Some have argued that the term cultural feminism is invalid because those labeled as such never identified as cultural feminists; instead they identified as radical feminists. I have sympathy for this position, but it is worth noting that liberal feminists did not typically identify themselves as liberal feminists yet no one has suggested we stop calling them by that term. »
@Lady Isn't that the one that literally shut down rather than accept trans women?
@noelle yes
@noelle the jab here is that most people today would think of that as TERFism i·e “radical feminism” when in fact historically speaking there was nothing radical about it
« “Male-identified” would soon enough be the charge that some cultural feminists would direct at transgender people. » lmao
