LOL j/k 
BTW, I agree with your professor re: infighting. Radical feminism is not inviting. It is depressing. It is choosing not to comfortably shield oneself from the myriad forms of oppression, which yes many would label small or petty, but which add up to what seems like a death by a thousand cuts type situation. Many radical feminists are prone to burnout. Many are prone to bouts of anger and depression. If we are lucky enough to find a group of like minded and similarly tempered souls we can seek comfort and reassurance from others in the group, but there are so many issues and so many possible views on those issues that it is challenging to find a group that one can gel with and feel at home and part of the group.
One thing is for certain, at some point your views WILL be attacked, harshly. If you haven't managed to separate yourself from your views, then it can seem as if you are personally being attacked. IMO it is this situation, more than any other, is at the heart of many of the conflicts in the movement. Agreeing to disagree amicably is an important skill to have.
Sorry for babbling.
