Feminism, as in the equal rights for women, is not the agenda. It is not the narrative. Because certain women are not to be listend to: the successful, the sane, the happy. Instead we must foment the revolution.
We must double down.
We must embrace the destruction of the West for our corporate masters.
And we must submit to the struggle against Israel and embrace or Islamic enslaving brothers.
Lean-in feminism and other variants of corporate feminism have failed the overwhelming majority of us, who do not have access to individual self-promotion and advancement and whose conditions of life can be improved only through policies that defend social reproduction, secure reproductive justice and guarantee labor rights. As we see it, the new wave of women’s mobilization must address all these concerns in a frontal way. It must be a feminism for the 99%.
The kind of feminism we seek is already emerging internationally, in struggles across the globe: from the women’s strike in Poland against the abortion ban to the women’s strikes and marches in Latin America against male violence; from the vast women’s demonstration of last November in Italy to the protests and the women’s strike in defense of reproductive rights in South Korea and Ireland.
What is striking about these mobilizations is that several of them combined struggles against male violence with opposition to the casualization of labor and wage inequality, while also opposing homophobia, transphobia and xenophobic immigration policies. Together, they herald a new international feminist movement with an expanded agenda: at once anti-racist, anti-imperialist, anti-heterosexist and anti-neoliberal.
We want to contribute to the development of this new, more expansive feminist movement.
As a first step, we propose to help build an international strike against male violence and in defense of reproductive rights on 8 March. In this, we join with feminist groups from around 30 countries who have called for such a strike.
The idea is to mobilize women, including trans women, and all who support them in an international day of struggle – a day of striking, marching, blocking roads, bridges, and squares, abstaining from domestic, care and sex work, boycotting, calling out misogynistic politicians and companies, striking in educational institutions. These actions are aimed at making visible the needs and aspirations of those whom lean-in feminism ignored: women in the formal labor market, women working in the sphere of social reproduction and care, and unemployed and precarious working women.
In embracing a feminism for the 99%, we take inspiration from the Argentinian coalition Ni Una Menos. Violence against women, as they define it, has many facets: it is domestic violence, but also the violence of the market, of debt, of capitalist property relations, and of the state; the violence of discriminatory policies against lesbian, trans and queer women; the violence of state criminalization of migratory movements; the violence of mass incarceration; and the institutional violence against women’s bodies through abortion bans and lack of access to free healthcare and free abortion.
Their perspective informs our determination to oppose the institutional, political, cultural and economic attacks on Muslim and migrant women, on women of color and working and unemployed women, on lesbian, gender nonconforming and trans women.
A co author, as usual, is a Muslim and Marxist, who has used the tactics of entryism to destroy what used to be the women’s movement. The others are known revolutionaries.
The document was co-authored by, among others, Rasmea Yousef Odeh, a convicted terrorist. Odeh, a Palestinian, was convicted in Israel in 1970 for her part in two terrorist bombings, one of which killed two students while they were shopping for groceries. She spent 10 years in prison for her crimes. She then managed to become a US citizen in 2004 by lying about her past (great detective work, INS: Next time, use Google) but was subsequently convicted, in 2014, of immigration fraud for the falsehoods. However, she won the right to a new trial (set for this spring) by claiming she had been suffering from PTSD at the time she lied on her application. Oh, and in her time as a citizen, she worked for a while as an ObamaCare navigator.
You can see why she’s a hero to the left. Another co-author, Angela Davis, is a Stalinist professor and longtime supporter of the Black Panthers. Davis is best known for being acquitted in a 1972 trial after three guns she bought were used in a courtroom shootout that resulted in the death of a judge. She celebrated by going to Cuba.
A third co-author, Tithi Bhattacharya, praised Maoism in an essay for the International Socialist Review, noting that Maoists are “on the terrorist list of the US State Department, Canada, and the European Union,” which she called an indication that “Maoists are back in the news and by all accounts they are fighting against all the right people.” You know you’re dealing with extremism when someone admits to hating Canada.
There are three problems with this.
- The activists who claim to speak for all women are speaking for the narrative. They are not speaking for all women. Their very manifesto denies the status of comrade to those ‘lean in’ feminists who are not sufficiently left wing. Who do not have enough victim points or virtue cycle indulgences.
- They are asking women, in a country with fire-at-will laws, to strike for political purposes. Not considering that in the last such strike, people lost their jobs. This is not a strike as part of negotiation: the law is unclear, but the risk for working women trying to feed their families and pay the rent is real.
- The feminist revolution has not made woman happier: it has made them more angry, veangeful and dysfunctional. Milo called this a cancer, and that was the root cause for the campaign against him. For he notes this: feminism damages women.
Even beyond your chosen lifestyle, feminism will affect your life.
Consider marriage. Pew Research has found a REAL gender gap, but this one is about attitudes about marriage in young people. Comparing data from 1997 and 2012, Pew finds a big split has developed.
While the percentages used to be similar, now interest among young men has dropped considerably while the interest among young women has risen considerably.
This is the natural result of feminism, young men are witnessing the financial horror of divorce for men, along with the unfairness of child custody. They are seeing feminists and assuming their potential spouse might be like those awful harpies.
Most women aren’t, but they are suffering thanks to the negative stereotypes of women put about by feminism.
Women on the other hand are having trouble finding men interested in marriage or relationship, making them desire a suitable man more.
And we know women always want what they can’t have. It explains why I have so many female fans.
Feminists on campus will try to fill your head with garbage. One example is their rape on campus stats, are they up to 4 out of 5 girls will be raped? They always change the stat! It’s always garbage.
Feminists on campus will talk your ear off about the wage gap. It doesn’t how many economists show that the wage gap is a result of choices made.
America is the most free society for women on earth. Women are free to study what they want, and they naturally gravitate towards majors that suit them.
Some of these are high paying, like nursing and occupational therapy, both of which are more than 85% female. But most are not. Elementary Education and social work have similar percentages of female students, but much lower pay.
Men on the other hand dominate high paying STEM majors like Electrical Engineering. Women are free to study engineering, and often make fine engineers.
But why on earth would feminism feel the need to shoehorn women into studying a subject they don’t want to? The movement that claimed to be about female empowerment now seems to be about female conformity.
You’re probably quite depressed by now.
Don’t be.
Together, we are winning the war against feminism. We are publicizing their tricks on campus and off, exposing their lies, and proving that women don’t need shrill harpies calling them weak victims of a made up patriarchy.
I greatly admire the young people who have to fight feminism in the trenches of academia, as opposed to from a giant tour bus with their face on the side.
Keep resisting, keep pointing out the facts, and keep laughing. Together, with facts and laughter, we can fight off this disease. Thank you.
The best cure of these women is to ensure that they do get their pay docked, as men would during a strike, do get locked out, as men have during a strike, and do find their jobs at risk, as immigrants did during their strike. They trust in a fallen narrative. Do not be them. Do not be like them.
So I’m shopping in a blue dress on Wednesday? Bother. I hate when other people schedule my life for me.
You are far too gracious for this time.
“The feminist revolution has not made woman happier: it has made them more angry, vengeful and dysfunctional.”
Very true. Women who help, serve, respect, and please their husbands are much happier.
