I don't understand why there are so many people who consider themselves "Marxist feminists", but at the same time are distracted by astrology.
The origin of feminism is working class, and as a working class movement, it is materialist. I don't know if they at least know what dialectical materialism is, since they don't see such an abysmal contradiction between astrology (pseudoscience) and feminism (materialism).
They remind me of the liberal “feminist” Gloria Steinem.
And the same with some anarchists.
What do you think about it?
Tbh, in the back of my mind I was wondering how much of such a strong reaction against something like astrology in the OP comes from an unstated/unexamined/unconscious bias against some activities women engage in because they're "too emotional." It brings up the old patriarchal dichotomy of irrational women, rational men. I think that should be carefully examined in unpacking the topic of the original post.
This guy has just spent the better part of an hour mansplaining feminism to me, so I'd say you're on the money here.
I hope the original poster actually takes the time to read what anarcho_blinkenist said and actually reflects on his stance.
