      Yeah, let’s put a label on it because we really have to smear someone somehow. I think the messaging must have gone right over your head.

        No.

        They’re making a summary of distinctions made by a good deal of academics.

        You are just unaware of these as pre-existing terms, so you think this person is the first person to put an adjective in front of feminism.

        They are not.

        Yes, I’m smearing Liberals.

        What the person did there blaming kids to be inherently bad is a classic example of reactionary politics which Liberals specialise in plus given the history of liberal feminism particulalry in the US, I dont get why you’re offended.

        Other aspects of Liberal femnism include:

        • Thinking only specific cultures are enlightened enough to do feminism because other cultures might be “barbaric”
        • Disdain for the working women who do menial jobs(prevelant in my country)
        • Savarna Femnisim(upper caste femnisim) - related to the previous point but in this instance unique to upper class caste system practionerd in the subcontinent
        • Blaming people of certain communities of being misoynistic bc they didn’t vote in a war criminal - related to the first point and prevelant in you know where

        Point of all that yapping isn’t just about putting in “labels”. My point was recognising the fact that without having overall class consciousness feminism is useless as that version of feminism isn’t truly universal and doesnt actually tackle conditions as to why right-wing or misogyny appears. It’s the nature versus nurture argument which itself ties in to historical materialism. Sure empathizing with nurture vis-a-vis nature is not exlcusive to Marxism, but being a reactionary in regards to these sure is a lot more prevalant. Its the same reason you hear “Palestinians are inherently antisemitic” argument over and over again from imperial core liberals.

        Yhank you for listening to my TED talk.

        Sincerely,

        Person who you will most certainly call an insane tankie for having the most milquetoast lefty opinion.
