Because its essentialist wing isn't currently dominating its activism?

FWIW, back in the early 1980s, when, at least in New York, Women Against Pornography was suddenly the dominant strand in feminism, and was, many of us thought, badly distorting feminism by acting as if banning and shaming should be its chief goals, people got into exactly this same kind of huff, initially faced very similar kind of flak for it, and eventually completely won. And feminism was much the better for it.
