Bullies respond to force, not to compassion. The question is whether we can combine our force with compassion.

I don't counsel compassion for the bullies' sake, but for ours as advocates, so that we see clearly. And combining force with compassion is exactly what we must do.

Hard core radical feminism is like the kiss of the vampire. Compassion for such a condition exists, but it's not for the squeamish.

Well I think bullies bast respond to being sidelined. Certainly they are emboldened by repeated success. And of course their motives are often contradictory.

Most women have experienced the "mean girls" in high school. In a general way, women can see this behavior for what it is and know how to deal with it. I think we need to do a better job convincing women to fight for men's rights and against the radical feminist. We're beginning to see that with organizations like "mothers with sons". I think they advocate for men's rights. Blogger TinMen may be right. It's a branding problem. If we can convince women the goal is not misogyny but equal rights, maybe that will make a difference.
