Bullsh*t from both sides.

Express this sentiment anywhere else on reddit, even the pro-women subs, and everyone starts drooling on about eNLiGhTeNeD cEnTrIsM. One side may not be as bad as the other, but that doesn't exempt it from criticism.

Thyroid cancer may not be as bad as pancreatic cancer but they're both cancer and I want neither.

The right wants women to be private property.

The left wants women to be public property.

Never forget that when it comes to struggles of race, class and gender, far too many leftist men are happy to ask women to simply ‘wait their turn’ when it comes to dealing with sex-based oppression while everyone else works to get theirs. Needless to say, while women ‘wait their turn,’ they’re still expected to be flawless, selfless allies to the other movements, while often being written out of those movements’ history - an issue within many circles dealing with classism, republicanism (the anti-monarchy kind), racism, post-colonialism and even environmentalism.

Finally. This is how I've felt for a long time. FDS is the only place on the internet with the same political values as me when it comes to feminism

So glad I found this sub. I have never agreed with the right or the left because neither seemed beneficial to women. For a long time it felt like I was the only one who saw it. Then i found FDS and realized i wasn't the only one seeing these things

Nonsense. Marx was a feminist and the left has been historically defined by feminists such as Beauvoir, Zetkin, Luxembourg, Krupskaya, Kollontai, Mother Bloor, Angela Davis, Mary Wollstonecraft, to name a few. Every noteworthy socialist or communist man had been a feminist as well. To say that leftism "wants women to be public property" is probably the stupidest thing I have ever read in an argument about political economy. The "socialism means open marriage"-myth was promulgated by the far right wing in the 19th century, and refuted by March and Engels themselves in the Communist Manifesto. Both men were "HVMs" by this sub's standards. Being a woman doesn't make you an authority on feminist theory or political ideology if you haven't read up on it. Otherwise it's embarrassing and insulting. It reads like female red-pillers trying to convince women that feminism and leftism are evil, and then making loads of bullshit up to try to not look so obviously MGTOW. They're the same people who will say nonsense like "I don't support protesters OR police", but are obviously more anti-Black than Anti-Police. I'm sorry, but I cannot in good conscience agree with such a post or with it's ignorant responses. To do so would be to roll back feminism by 500 years and ignore everything that feminist leftists have done for women. The suffragettes would be rolling in their graves.
