The massive amount of misinformation about feminism here is overwhelming. You guys are Don Quixote, fighting windmill monsters that don't exist. In fact, I'm willing to bet that no one in this thread knows more than one actual real-life person involved in the feminist movement. In fact, the vast majority of you probably don't know even a single one; hell you probably don't even know anyone who even identifies as a feminist.
The "glorification of dominance, aggression and violence" is antithetical to the feminist movement. Now melon if I understand your point, it's that "well they don't like that stuff, but they're stupid and do stupid counterproductive things which ultimately results in the glorification of dominance, aggression and violence" ... to which I say bullshit. Or at least, you have to back that up with something: I can claim the Republican party has a pro-gay agenda (and back it up by showing all the stupid things Republicans have done historically that have ultimately furthered gay rights) ... but that'd be a stupid argument to make.
As for "adherents of radical feminism believe that egalitarianism means eradicating the desire for men and women to partake in domination games", these "radical feminists" are mostly in people's imagination. I mean sure, you can find crazy people willing to say crazy things on any side of an argument, but again I have known a lot of (active) feminists, and none of them were anything like that.
In fact they were all, every last one of them, sex positive. In fact, they generally had a much better understanding of the concept that the human brain (and thus sex) is weird, and that there's nothing wrong with weirdness like BDSM as long as both parties are consenting and having fun, than your average person.

I suggest to you that the feminism you are learning at college doesn't exist.
What they do is the same thing this woman did. "Well there's asshole men out there that think its wrong to wear a mini skirt as a hot girl in her 20s -- and telling this kind of guy off is really important even though no even fucking agrees with him."
Trust me, plenty of feminist types think if you like getting dominated by men you are somehow less feminist. But its not a
real problem is it? It's a rich housewife kind of problem.
That's what the middle-elite ranged women don't see. It's silly time in the feminist world ATM. It's time to distract the plebs -- not help out poor women...
Edit: Keep in mind -- I don't go around saying this about every Social Justice movement. I just honestly think white and white-acting women are basically fine in America now. At least from a policy directional standpoint. There more of a watchdog at this point as far as use goes.
Blacks are trying for criminal justice reform -- but a lot of opportunists are kind of doing what the BDSM lady did in the above article. Using this as a moment to get attention and not looking at the big picture of whats going to help achieve criminal justice reform....but always happens in every movement.
