Subject: RE: The Co-optation of Feminism


Look folks.. its obvious what is going on  When an idea comes along in a
democratic society that challenges the status quo (capitalism), there will
be direct attacks on it.. but a smaller number of supporters of the status
quo will come to the conclusion that the idea must be co-opted.. it cannot
be destroyed.  This is what has happened with feminism, libertarianism,
and they are trying it with anarchism too (anarcho capitalism and national
anarchists).

Some people evidently have this mentality of
"fairness" which says that one must allow anyone who calls themselves a
feminist, or an anarchist, to have a right to that label. I think this is
part of the plans of the status quo: they wish to trick us into using our
own feelings about equality and fairness against us, so we will alow a fox
into the henhouse (i.e. an anarcho capitalist or a capitalist feminist
into the anarchist or feminist movements).

Dont be suckered, folks.
