I am curious to find out what others believe a radical feminist is.
I've been characterized as being a radical feminist by a number of
people who've done substantial work in women's studies (formal and
informal), including my spouse.  No one has ever defined radical
feminism very well for me and I would like to get others' ideas on
the definition.  I haven't ever thought of using that particular
combination to describe my beliefs but that may just be because I
tend not to label myself at all.  With a bit of coaxing I'll call
myself a secular humanist and historically I've been described as
a revolutionary feminist, which may or may not be the same as a
radical one.  But I don't ever acknowledge being a white male; I may
acknowledge physical facts, but that does not mean I admit to thinking
or behaving as a stereotypical white male.  I encourage your comments
both over this newsgroup and by mail.  Thank you all.
