You phrase it beautifully:

Radical feminism uses argument and logic to deliver true conclusions. Popular or “fun” feminism uses none of those things. I got my master’s degree in analytic philosophy, which helps explain radical feminism’s appeal to me. Indeed, it should appeal to everyone who takes the time to recognize the global hatred of women in our society. So in that sense, coming to radfem consciousness has expanded, rather than altered, my worldview).

But in truth, I'm also a liberal feminist ('cause I'm practical and think we also have to deal with the here and now), and several other flavors thrown in too. I guess that makes me a mess. :-/
