Radical Feminism is Done?
In the first place, it still dominates the academic culture of universities and colleges. Once you have a generation of PhDs go into teaching, in this case the feminists, it takes another generation to flush them out. "Women's Studies" has become an academic fixture and out of their classes, publications, and conferences they will send out small armies of feminists -- some radical, some not -- to inhabit the culture.
Radical feminism is certainly no longer the fashion it was ten or so years ago -- it no longer has the sex appeal of a newly-minted ideology.
As we can see in the career trajectory of Hillary Clinton, the radical feminists have started hide under pants suits and middle-class smiles intended to disarm the men they once labeled as the enemy.
Radical feminism, then, has been institutionalized and domesticated, but its still out there making plenty of trouble.
