Link worked. You know, I use patriarchy and mean kyriarchy, turns out. I do think that men *in general* hold the patriarchal power, but I think systems of oppression do exist and therefore it's not *just* men, or even all men, who are the oppressors. In some ways, 9 times out of 10, when I buy new clothes I'm probably oppressing some one some where. For a weak example.
I also think to be a radical feminist is to be, by and large, working for post-gendered feminism. I don't equate radical feminism with separatism, or womyn-only space. What's radical about that? Nothing, in my eyes.
The post (which feels like ages ago and lost in the sands of time) was about women hating women, and about rape in general, but I think some where along that way that got very, very lost. I blame Gwydion. ;) (Look at me use an emoticon to indicate humor! See, I learned!) Ultimately, I think you and I do agree. In fact, I know we do. I don't know what's happened with this post, but I'm about ready to render it null and void.
