Is The Radical Feminist Movement Our Enemy?
I’m in the midst of a move, and a couple of other pressing things right now, but this really is worth some discussion. Are radical lesbian separatists/feminists an enemy that we should fight with the same veracity as we do the religious right? Your thoughts?

Why this article may matter
Community significance
“Is The Radical Feminist Movement Our Enemy?” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to feminism and gender politics, while also engaging religion and morality. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.
Historical significance
As a publication record from 2007 at Transadvocate.com, “Is The Radical Feminist Movement Our Enemy?” provides dated evidence of how feminism and gender politics was being argued in relation to religion and morality. Comparing it with earlier and later records can reveal changes in vocabulary, evidence, and emphasis.
Policy significance
