I see a lot of people claiming feminism has always been about both sexes, just as much a thing for men as it is for women. This is absolute nonsense. It was always a movement for female liberation. And for many 2nd wave feminists - many, not a few - men were the enemy.

Now it's true that the Leeds Revolutionary Feminist Group were radical amongst feminists in the 1970s. But they were not out of the mainstream. The views that they represented, in the UK at least, were right at the center of things.

But then why is it that so many in the pro-free speech crowd are allying with exactly this kind of feminist? Eg, Julie Bindel, Meghan Murphy, etc?

I suspect there are different motivations at work depending upon exactly to whom you are referring....

Yes, that's the principled position.
