The comment on masturbation wasn't from Twisty herself but a commenter (I think Twisty's gay anyway); Twisty herself tends to kinda stay above the fray while her commenters say the really embarrassing things.
(Man, speaking of "hoochie rear," I keep alienating myself from certain people with sloppy language; I have terrible and apparently unbreakable tendencies to sarcasm, hyperbole, and casual use of traditionally demeaning terms. Got absolutely reamed out for using the word "slut" as a shorthand for "sexually assertive" even though I was arguing pro-"slut" and thought I was being clear. The Ethical Slut got away with it...)
But I've way too late realized that this isn't a discussion of beliefs, it's one of identity. They are radfems, I am not, no one's changing anyone's mind because what I did was like going to a Jewish forum and explaining the love of Jesus. They take pride in being radfems, not in the specific tenets of radfeminism, and there's no way to argue someone out of their chosen identity.
