Over the years, I've come to believe that radicals have a personality type, and regardless of circumstance will find a cause that they can get indignant and righteous about.  This is why you see so many of the same faces at public demonstrations (some of these are people I know) regardless of the issue.  These women totally fit this category.

The more extreme of these types of people can become violent, and lean to terrorism. 

In any event, were they ever in charge after successfully achieving their 'activist' aims, they will likely be tyrants.  I personally wouldn't bother giving these people air time. .
