What are your thoughts on "trans-exclusionary" radical feminism?

42. My opinion of self-described "radical feminists"

was cemented when MacKinnon and Dworkin were trying to ram through their crazy ordinance in Minneapolis, my hometown. MacKinnon was using some research by a professor named Donnerstein IIRC to back up her kook claims. The City Council brought in Donnerstein to testify.

When Donnerstein said that MacKinnon was abusing, twisting and misrepresenting his research, MacKinnon literally told him to sit down and shut up. SHE would tell the professor what his intentions and hypotheses were and what his research REALLY meant. When Donnerstein tried to speak up, MacKinnon's little zombies shouted him down. That is totalitarianism in its purest form.

That kind of towering arrogance, sheer assholism and disespect for science showed the real face of that bunch of self-identified "radical feminists." Like the religous fundies, whom they so closely resemble, facts are not only optional, they don't exist. All that's necessary is to believe something is so, evidence to the contrary be damned.
