I too am eagerly awaiting people laundering their stupid bullshit through socialist phrase-mongering. There is nothing better than shitheads defending their boilerplate neopaganism by hiding behind oppressed groups who have an actual heritage [other than one of appropriation] informing their practices.
There definitely is a section of men who look down on women who believe in astrology tbf, but I think on this site we can assume good faith. Astrology is stupid regardless of who believes in it
I'm on the anti-astrology side, but this isn't a good counter any more than "I hate white rappers too, so my hating rap can't be racist" is. There is no contradiction in hating something associated with women on a misogynistic basis and also hating men who like it.
there's a fair point to "people who just seem to hate it and believe a ton of other weird shit probably just hate women" but people do sometimes go too fair into actually defending it. Like, I talk about it for shits and giggles with my friends and most of my fraught romantic life weirdly maps onto the compatibility charts, but I'd drop it in a heartbeat if that was the party line. Right now it's just nonsense that doesn't matter, for the most part.
considering how people freak the fuck out here when you suggest religion isnt cool, yeah, it's gotta be one of the least materialist communist spaces on the internet
Is it time for another astrology struggle session

This website has astrology believers?
I dunno about believers but there's a contingent that says "since astrology is more popular with women than men, criticizing it is misogyny"

Did you think it wouldn't?
Materialism??????????
Ignored on my Hexbear? It's more likely than you think!
this site is the least materialist ML space on the internet, except for all the others
