It is impossible to be both a radfem and a liberal.
Radical Feminism, much like Marxist Feminism, takes a materialist approach to gender relations and the workings of patriarchy. Liberals by contrast are notoriously anti-materialist and build their worldview on vibes and virtue signaling.
Modern radical feminism operates almost solely on aesthetics and reactionary posturing, which he why rad-fems are overwhelmingly transphobic for example since materialist understandings are entirely absent their analysis.
Contemporary rad fems are a far cry from their original roots, and have largely devolved into the silly “kill all men” type of reactionary.
That’s not to say feminists don’t exist, and they are an overwhelmingly positive force, but rad-fems are to feminism what the Nation of Islam was to Black empowerment.
How you define Radical Feminism isn’t accurate but the point is moot anyway, since you’re just pointlessly ascribing these terms (radical feminist, misandrist) to someone who clearly isn’t either of those things and just makes low-quality comics where she wins fake arguments against MAGA chuds and talks about how much it sucks to be a woman under patriarchy.
Frankly, to take away that she’s a “”““misandrist””“” from that is itself a reactionary MRA talking point that you’re just dressing up in leftist terminology.
Have you met any actual radfems? And no, TERFs don’t count. Most of the people using that label or having it applied to them aren’t even feminists in the first place, much less radical ones. Rowling and her ilk aren’t TERFs. Actual TERFs fly under the radar as TERFs because they don’t constantly talk about trans people. I’ve had to distance myself from many radfems who seemed genuinely normal before revealing how transphobic they were when it came to trans issues because of this, and even then they are outnumbered by trans-inclusive radfems - many of whom are themselves trans, much like myself.
“Kill all men” is a misogynistic, anti-feminist stereotype. It is used to smear feminists and especially radfems. The man-hating feminist caricature exists to demonize feminism and its supporters and doesn’t reflect a statistically significant trend within feminism but is based on deliberate misframing of radical feminist theory.
