Nah, that's a misconception, radical feminism just means a more systemic approach to viewing inequality (not saying it mainly lies in economical / political / etc. dimension, but that's it's rather a whole institution of patriarchy). I'm a radical feminist myself and definitely don't indiscriminately hate men, even though I do hate the system as it is

I think that’s just actual feminism discussed in feminist spaces like r/feminism. Radical feminism started that way but because of its proximity to terfs it ends up drawing in that crowd while others leave it behind.

That subreddit is an example of what happens when there’s unclear labeling, it has a good description and occasionally ok posts before it descends into weird beliefs. I believe it’s got a lot to do with the way it’s promoted — I’m pretty sure it gets recommended because the posts are not too far from the misogyny that’s all over the internet, just repackaged to make it seem like it’s actually empowering women.

The really big communities, women daily life places, might look at you weird if you say that women can be misogynists. And maybe it’s because that isn’t the space for those discussions. The feminism community is way more open to that. The radical feminism group appears open to that till they start saying the solution is female separatism or some bs.
