American Communism And The Making Of Women´s Liberation

News Henry Makow wrote an interesting article about the political nature of feminism for TooGoodReports.com. While I've heard and agree with requests from readers to avoid becoming political with this web site, I think this article and its perspectives deserve some airtime here to balance things out. It's interesting to note that ifeminism is almost completely the opposite of Makow's description, suggesting that ifeminism has few ties with the modern feminist movement.

With or without Communism, however, my feeling is that the fundamental Women's Liberation movement was always inevitable once society reached a level of economic and technological advancement that there were no longer any practical reasons to relegate women to the less hazardous environment of the homefront. Feminism may have been avoidable, but the dramatic expansion of women's versatility in all spectrums of life which transpired in the 20th century was something that, I think, was waiting to happen since the beginning of time.
Finally someone speaks the truth!!!!!!

This article has exposed the common thread that ties the feminism movement together. Feminism at it's core (the CPUSA) up to today's current gender feminism is attempting to re-socialize the basic principles of Western Civilization, individual liberty and equal opportunity.

The article submissions that are regularly posted on this web page clearly outline the fact that feminism does not support nor believe in free speech, open debate, or dissenting views. And outlines that a feminist police state now exists in government, educational institutions, our place of work, i.e. diversity training, HR departments are run by feminists, all the ridiculous sexual harassment laws aimed at undermining the financial stability of corporations based on a he said she said type of scenario.

Feminism has achieved enormous power in society by advocating something that sounds good: "equal rights for women," this is what many women (and men) are misled into believing.

To quote Makow " Feminism is a Trojan Horse. It has already inflicted incredible damage to our social fabric, culture and to our freedom. It has made us dysfunctional."

Fuck not being political, I say DO not ever vote for a liberal, it only empowers the gender apartheid hate movement.

Henry Makow is a genius!

What is it about the intelligensia, or at least a very vocal and influential part of it, that makes it so attracted to the 'Big Idea'? George Orwell, in a proposed preface to his book 'Animal Farm' lamented the near impossibility of criticising Stalin and communism in post-war England. At that time Stalin was much admired by left-wing liberals, who remained surprisingly uncritical of his regime despite reports of purges and executions. Orwell said that at any given time there is a certain set of ideas - an authodoxy - that it is simply assumed everybody believes - which is exactly the situation that seems to exist today with feminism. What concerns me is the tendency for these ideas to trample on the lives of ordinary people. There is a disregard, bordering on contempt, among adherants of 'Big Ideas' for those most affected by their consequences. It seems to me that such ideas actually attract a certain kind of person. Their disregard for others seems almost psychopathic. I was struck by this while reading about Canada's Bill 117. It is such an unforgiving, heartless, inhuman law, I wondered what sort of person would think that it was alright to treat another human being in that way. I know these points are at a something of a tangent to the above article, but you have to wonder.
