Miss Grant on Supergirl is the worst of bourgeois feminism.

Sure I believe in universal sisterhood

But y’ know there’s the sister who drunkenly crashes her car through the side of your garage at Thanksgiving and tries to hit on your teenage daughter’s boyfriend and says shitty passive aggressive things about your body constantly and calls you selfish when you won’t chauffeur her everywhere after her license gets suspended and borrows your clothes and doesn’t return them/returns them with stains you don’t even want to think about… So I mean yeah we’re all sisters, but like some of us are going to have to really sort out our behavior before we can expect to get invited to family barbecues again

Just A Reminder That Today Is International WORKING Women’s Day

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.

The result of bourgeois feminism is women getting away with war crimes only to be pulled over by the fashion police.

Liberals Are Wild

Like seriously, why do you think some bourgeois lady is going to ever give a shit about me except as a talking point to boost her political cred?

She’s not. She never will.

The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. We never have. We never will.

Damn.

Bourgeois Feminism Is A Feminism That Demands Nothing Of Men

Did you know that as more married upper class and upper middle class women became employed during the 70s there was a dramatic uptick in demand for domestic labor?

They do not demand their husbands pick up the slack when they enter the workforce, instead building their “liberation” on the backs of working class women, usually working class WOC.

As well 19th century Bourgeois feminists were only horrified by working class sex workers because sex work was easier and paid better than being a scullery maid, thus making it harder and more expensive to get domestic labor. They set up caring courses (read: Training and recruitment courses for domestic laborers) and crusaded against sex workers to make sure their supply of domestic labor was unthreatened.

You’ll note bourgeois feminists never demonize or rail against domestic labor the way they rail against sexual labor. This is because they have no use for sex workers and all the use in the world for domestic workers.

For a conference titled “seizing the means of reproduction”

There sure is a lot of talk about lobbying and reform.

The socioreligious organization of the fairy culture
was matriarchal and probably polyandrous. The fairy
culture was still extant in England as late as the 17th
century when even the pagan beliefs of the early witches
had degenerated into the Christian parody which we
associate with Satanism. The Christians rightly recognized
the fairies as ancient, original sorcerers, but
the Witches wrongly saw their whole culture as an expression o f the
demonic. There was communication between the fairies
and the pagan women, and any evidence that a woman
had visited the fairies was considered sure proof that
she was a witch.

Andrea Dworkin

Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Is she fucking serious?

Is she writing a sociological treatise on a fucking fantasy novel? This is like bad fanfic about history.

Oh my god.

Ultimately Dworkin is writing from her time, and from her vantage point without bothering to fact check much, and without challenging her own assumptions. She’s a bourgeois child of the new left and I cannot find it in myself to like her, or commend her intellectual laziness

What it comes down to is this: through the use of drugs, through sexual living out, through radical political action, we broke through the bourgeois mental sets which were our inheritance but retained the humanism crucial to the liberalism of our parents.

Andrea Dworkin. This is the bougiest shit I have ever read
