I love that she’s gone from “can’t we have reasonable compromise” to “fuck this and you” which is how most radfems go through it.

Are Radfems against women getting into relationships with males at all?

Radical feminism seeks to liberate women from the control of men. That doesn't mean every straight woman has to become celibate and every bisexual woman has to restrict herself.

Priorities instead include things like maintaining separate bank accounts, and having lots of reliable friends that aren't just her significant other's friends. (prioritizing independent material safety and social life)

Some (straight or bisexual) radical feminists have maintained strong independence while in a relationship, by living completely separately from her male significant other. (prioritizing independent lifestyle and assets)

And of course some women find that they're happiest single, thanks to the maximal flexibility and ability to put herself first. Some women also choose to live with other women platonically, as life partners (or in close-knit groups). I used to laugh at this idea, but I've seen just how happy it can make older women, who often are intensely lonely as they reach their 70s.

In conclusion, radical feminism is less "against" relationships with men, and more about opening up options beyond "date -> get married -> become a mother." It's about recognizing the power imbalance between men and women, and doing what you can to reduce or erode that imbalance; having your own money, your own friends and safety network, your own job, your own life.

As a lesbian, my understanding of straight women has matured massively thanks to radblr, but I would still recommend asking other women, especially straight and bisexual women, to get a fuller picture of what radical feminism means to them. Thank you for the question and I hope this was helpful.

'Behind every abortion is a man who didn't wear a condom. In that sense, all abortions are about birth control, birth control the man didn't use. But birth control is considered a female responsibility. When abortion is discussed, he fades out of the picture while her sexual activities and her "failure to take precautions" are picked over in detail. His sexual activities or failure to use birth control are rarely considered.' —Without Apology, Jenny Brown
