Feminism is a Marxist ideology, and it is fundamentally about political power. It is not about truth or fairness or anything that it claims to be about. Rather, it is about furthering the political interests of people that believe in feminism and punishing those who do not. It sees the world in terms of class conflict and it is dedicated to seeing the under-class triumph over the "oppressive" uber-class.

Consider a closely related group, Marxist anti-racists. They claim to be against racism, yet they reject color-blind policies on the part of government agencies or universities. Why would they do this, if they are truly against racism? It is because they seek power.



Feminism _can_ be Marxist, but it's often not. See for example http://moufawad-paul.blogspot.com/2013/04/10-theses-on-ident...


Thanks for the laughs. It is fun to watch different kinds of Marxist argue over who is most oppressed :)
