One of the major reasons I don't like radical feminism is the virulent transphobia that was espoused by the quartet of Sheila Jeffreys, Janice Raymond, Germaine Greer, and the woman who died on January 3, Mary Daly.
While Daly was a brilliant thinker, she was controversial, to put it mildly.
She once advocated that only ten percent of the men on planet Earth should be left alive, and refused to allow men in her women's studies classrooms at Boston College.
