RadFems have used social media and the internet in general to change the culture. 'Equality' is out, revenge and gender superiority is in. It's a shame... I grew up in an all-woman household (I had a gay mother, which in the 80s was a very different reality to what it is now) and have been surrounded by positive examples of feminity all my life on a personal level. I want nothing more than equality, but the radicalised change in the wider culture and the culture of the mainstream left is real.

…oh, I know it’s real…absolutely…but I also believe that it’s not something we all live in our lives as much as media’s …mainstream and social, would have us believe…it’s often almost like a different world to see and absorb talking points and views etc online and those that I have in my offline time with what is a huge selection of people because school environment exposes to that variety, you know…the ‘toxicity’ if it were to be applied at all…for me, would be less applied to any gender and specific to not opening up paths of information more …the internet for my thoughts can be that blessing and curse thing…in that it both opens up and restricts also and can hold more narrow views/thoughts…
