Separate from feminism because like feminism has a long history of focusing on the ideas and interests of bourgeois women, and ignoring or pathologizing working class women’s needs and so like a lot of women (rightly) associate it with stuff that does no good for them and also it would be nice to be able to find each other without ending up in a sea of bougie bullshit. Femmunism? Lady’s Class War? gyno-communism? Ladyism?
egalitarianism?
lmao holy shit imagine having this much of a fundamental misunderstanding of what liberatory movements are supposed to be. instead of concieving of a movement for the rights of women that concentrates on the struggles of working-class women implicitly or explicitly excluded from other forms of advocacy…just say the problem’s already fixed! Egalitarianism, that’s it!
the struggles of working-class women
which are?
Racialized misogyny, the expensiveness of reproductive care, the cost of hormones and operations like facial feminization surgery, the cost of things like clothes and makeup that are necessary for finding higher-paying jobs, a lack of maternity leave, there are many women’s issues that specifically impact working class women hardest. And yet you laugh about it.
The fact that we’re hypersexualized, and treated as a joke, the fact that our sexual and mothering practices are pathologized. Like misogyny is profoundly classed. Mainstream feminism is about female CEOs, and does nothing for rank and file women
Revolutionary feminism, Womens liberationist, marxist feminist, anarcha feminist, TIRF (trans inclusive radical feminist). these are what i tend to use
Nice, I also like red feminism (because I don’t identify as a Marxist or an anarchist, just a general commie) or maybe “Women’s power movement” or stealing the actually quite populist “girl power” and taking it from capitalist catch phrase to militant political organization
