I love Boris.... Didn't he recover well <3
Don't know why they call her a feminist? But definitely crazy.
Because feminists are crazy.
I read an interesting article the other day about how feminism has been dragged through the mud in recent years, although they should have technically had more of a respected voice.
Most people think of feminists as anti men when it just isn't true, feminists in history are equally respected as marxists etc, simply because they do raise valid points, in the real world, they're seen as bat shit crazy, I guess it's the same for socialists/marxists, dare to be different
Marxists are well respected? Lol. Think you've probably been hanging round the Student Union too much there m8, as most of the idea have been rejected by most of the world (outside Islington North) as batshit crazy and not entirely workable.
You can't just say Feminists are all nutters.... There are more subcategories in this group than types of quality street especially
If you go to the sub sub category....
Most of the women I work with believe that the only way to rid the world of patriarchal societies is buy the actions of the individual. I also believe in this view. Yes there can be some laws changed to remove barriers of 'opression' ie job discrimination yadda yadda but i take personal responsibility for how I am perceived in the world and any ambitions I have are there for me to achieve..., I really hate positive discrimination and if I were given a job on the basis that I had a vagina instead of a penis... I wouldn't take it... It's insulting... I have managed to achieve a quite successful career in a very male dominated industry... And it can't have been because I had a loveable physique... For the first half of my career at this company I was 150ish kg...
I wouldn't entirely agree Academic Marxists were all that well respected, except by other Marxists (so that's most of Academia then....).
However I have read your post again, and I missed something you said that's even sillier - equating socialism and daring to be different. Considering socialism gave rise to that wonderful law of Janté our Scandinavian cousins are so fond of (or not in the case of the Scandos who live elsewhere), I'm assuming socialists dare to be different in the same way Goths and Emos dare to be different - by all appearing to be exactly the fucking same.
Read my post again, Academic Marxists are respected, outside of that, they're what you said.
The issue with 'mainstream' Marxism is that people perceive it as communism, IE communism in practice; that's the furthest thing from the truth in reality, TL;DR; Marxism was progressive Socialism into Communism, not a Autocracy progressing into Communism.
Which why as a theory, it's actually yet to be disproven, although everyone would be led to believe that it has been disproven, the only properly 'Marxist' country is probably modern day Cuba, and we hear loads about them, don't we?
Cue @Scouse
I hope you do realise that I was taking the common view on feminists![]()
Is Cuba fuck "properly Marxist". Not even close.
It's closer to 'Properly Marxist' than any other nation on this rock tbh.
