For now, instead of really fighting them, my primary interaction with the crazies is to just kinda laugh at them fom a distance, understanding that they have so little understanding of pragmatism that they'll never be able to make significant changes in the world or society.
There you go, you've answered it. Moderates don't call out the crazies for the reason you give yourself.

If you don't want to call out the crazies, that's all fine, but don't start jumping to feminisms' defense when the rest of us do talk about the extremists. The behavior from moderates like you really reminds me of the behavior of moderate Christians when I call out their crazy fundamentalists (video related).

A few trans circles have gotten like this here and there; I'm far enough into transition that I don't need them all that often, but my boyfriend is still fairly new to the process and he could use the support. Unfortunately for him, a lot of the more extreme social justice circles are specifically hostile towards men, trans or otherwise, and they aren't too fond of white people, so it makes things a little tricky for him. I'm just glad that their influence on irl world is minimal, at best.
I live on facebook. Come see me there. http://www.facebook.com/tara.rizzatto
