Which was created to commemorate a series of strikes done by teenage girls working in factories.
Bourgeois women do not get to participate.
Go away.
Find your own day, your class loyalties will always trump your gender loyalties and we don’t want you.
Who needs numbers or solidarity? We’re too cool for that. And surely women with money don’t deal with male violence, pregnancies, abortions, rape, any of those things just like the rest of us. So let’s see how many women we can alienate who have decided to be in solidarity. I think it’s a good plan!
Bourgeois women will never be in solidarity with working class women. The bourgeoisie is incapable of solidarity with the proletariat
They are incapable of solidarity across the board as a class, but the individual members are not. Allowing the participation of those who see working class women and their struggles and find common ground makes more sense to me than going out of our way to alienate them. Building consensus as women is of more feminist value than using the distinctions created by men to deepen the divisions they have in place primarily to keep us from organizing against their tyranny in massive numbers. The primary purpose of class division for patriarchy is to further the goals of the patriarchy and bourgeois women have access to privilege and power only as much as the men they are connected with do, and it is possible for them to pull the rug out from under that as they please. These women are acutely aware that they are not truly a part of the power structure and benefit only by association. If we make the choice to turn away those who would side with other women then it just makes it easier for the men that abuse them to say there is no solidarity to be found with other women so they are better off tolerating the abuse.
Bougie women don’t give a shit about clinic closures because they can fly off to get an abortion where it is legal. They will never be the ones that truly suffer as the rest of us do. Rich women overwhelmingly voted for Trump. They know which side their bread is buttered on. Also Slut-shaming is more classed than it is gendered and bourgeois women use it to put prole women in their place.
They are our enemies.
