Thaaaat’s right, because no extremists hijacked the feminist agenda, and you’d have to be a right-wing crank to suggest otherwise.

Yes, Ms. (or should I say Miss or Mrs.) Schuett is smart enough to cover her derriere with a qualifier or two en route to pole axing four decades of mainstream feminists.

Just to make sure I know the score: when Trudy talks about the “relative few people” who are extreme feminists, she’s a right wing crank. When shaun says this, however, that’s a reasoned and moderated response.

Have I got that right?

As a right-wing crank who masquerades as a thinking woman, you seldom fail to disappoint.

I have been working with and writing about feminists since . . . oh, let’s say 1968. I certainly have met some male- and family-hating women in that time, but the vast majority are a far cry from the negative stereotypes that you predictably assemble in characterizing feminism as some kind of vast vaginal conspiracy to comport with your fringe political and social views.

Oh lord, the whole “wandering uterus” thing. [rolls eyes]

The only thing I could add to this piece is that I would advise avoiding the word “hysteria” when talking about radical feminists. Or use it often, depending on your aim.
