Culture of Complaint The Fraying of America Resource Type: Book Published: 1993 Propaganda-talk, euphemism, and evasion are so much a part of American usage today that they cross all party lines and ideological divides. The art of not answering the question, of cloaking unpleasant realities in abstraction or sugar, is so perfectly endemic that we expect nothing else. The "Date Rape" Issue: Feminist Hysteria, Anti-Sex Witchhunt Resource Type: Article Published: 2014 The anti-sex frenzy springs from the agenda of the religious right. Espousing an ideology supposed to have something to do with women's rights, the feminists might be expected to oppose this witchhunt. Instead, there is a convergence between feminism and religious reaction in support of moralist repression. This is particularly evident in the "date rape" frenzy on the campuses which has recently grabbed headlines across the nation and the world. Egged on by feminist witchhunters, "politically correct" sex on campus serves the war on privacy by whitewashing the intrusion of the campus administration and the cops into students' personal business as "protecting women" and "stopping rape."

They've damaged books — books that don’t even mention their concern — pressured bookstores, and silenced speakers scheduled at universities. It should come as no surprise that they are using the final tactics of all fundamentalists: bullying, threats, assault. And they've done this with increasing frequency and intensity. How long does it take to see the pattern? European Labour History Network - Working Group on Feminist Labour History Resource Type: Article Published: 2013 The founding meeting of the ELHN took place at the International Institute of Social History (IISH) on 12 October 2013.

The Failure of Feminism Resource Type: Book Published: 1988 The book's premise is that feminism, defined as a form of social activism aimed at improving the lot of women, accomplished a great deal of good, opening up corporate doors, garnering funds for women's college athletics, and so forth until about 1984.

How feminism became capitalism's handmaiden - and how to reclaim it Resource Type: Article Published: 2013 As a feminist, I've always assumed that by fighting to emancipate women I was building a better world – more egalitarian, just and free. But lately I've begun to worry that ideals pioneered by feminists are serving quite different ends. I worry, specifically, that our critique of sexism is now supplying the justification for new forms of inequality and exploitation. How the 'SlutWalk' Has Transformed the Rape Culture Conversation Resource Type: Article Published: 2015 It is amidst this wider rape culture, and the ways feminists are fighting back, that SlutWalk not only emerged, but exploded as a global grassroots movement. What is significant about SlutWalk is not the premise; after all, women have been protesting against sexual violence for decades. What is striking about SlutWalk was its ability, despite its feminist roots, to capture the mainstream media's attention. I Am a Woman and a Human: A Marxist-Feminist Critique of Intersectionality Theory Resource Type: Article Published: 2013 In the United States, during the late 20th and early 21st centuries, a specific set of politics among the left reigns king. Today, you could go into any university, on any number of liberal-to-left blogs or news websites, and the words “identity” and “intersectionality” will jump out you as the hegemonic theory. But, like all theories, this corresponds to the activity of the working class in response to the current composition of capital. If this is feminism... Resource Type: Article Published: 2017 Part of the problem with the response to Tuvel's article is that some seem to feel that they are the only ones who have the legitimate right to talk about certain topics.

Resource Type: Book Published: 1991 Is intersectionality just another form of identity politics? Resource Type: Article Published: 2015 Feminist Fightback has for many years described itself as seeking to practice an 'intersectional' form of feminism, whereby we argue that the struggle for gender liberation must take account of, and join with, struggles against all other forms of oppression and exploitation around the axis of class, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism etc. We began to use 'intersectional' in place of 'socialist feminist' in about 2007-8 because we felt that the latter term implied an interest in gender and class but did not give due emphasis to race. We continued to be inspired by a variety of Marxist and class-struggle anarchist currents, and we did not feel these to be in contradiction to a commitment to intersectionality.

At the same time, parts of Brown's book are contraditory and frustrating.

Media Think Resource Type: Book Published: 2000 Increasingly the news media are owned by a small group of very large corporations with extensive interests outside the industry, run by the corporate elite.Winter argues that instead of offering diverse perspectives on events and issues, the media portray an increasingly dogmatic and orthodox corporate picture of the world around us. The consistency with which they do this has its consequent, intended effect on public opinion and policy formation. Montreal: Campus Feminists Fail to Gag Marxists For Women's Liberation Through Socialist Revolution! Resource Type: Article Published: 2015 The logic of feminism is class collaboration. It also means relying on the bourgeois state to "defend women." The role of the capitalist state is to defend the interests of the capitalists. It has nothing to do with ending the misery of the oppressed. The Morning After Sex, Fear, and Feminism Resource Type: Book Published: 1994 When Katie Roiphe arrived at Harvard in the fall of 1986, she found that the feminism she had been raised to believe in had been radically transformed. The women's movement, which had once signaled such strength and courage, now seemed lodged in a foundation of weakness and fear.

In this issue, we pay special attention to working class organizing. There can be no meaningful change without the active participation of the majority of the population: working people. Yet much activism ignores this obvious reality, while the organized labour union movement has put much of its reliance on 'professionals' who see organizing as a top-down technique rather than a grassroots movement. Several articles in this issue look at aspects of these issues. We also delve into the relationship between feminism and socialism, and look at the so-called 'sharing economy,' which produces increasingly exploited and precarious work, and immense profits for super-rich corporate owners.

Pioneers of Women's Liberation Women and Class: Toward a Socialist Feminism (Book Review) Resource Type: Article Published: 2015 Hal Draper (1914-1990) was both a master polemicist and an erudite scholar of Marxism and of socialist history, often combining these talents in withering critiques of alternative analyses.

Pornography and the Sex Censors A review of 'Defending Pornography: Free Speech, Sex, and the Fight for Women's Rights,' by Nadine Strossen Resource Type: Article Published: 1996 The pornography debacle has driven deep wedges among feminists, and has weakened the women's movement by alienating many women who cannot relate to a perceived ethos of anti-sexuality, gender antagonism, and victimhood. To the extent that it has convinced women to conceive of themselves as victims, to live in constant dread of male violence and aggression, rather than thinking of ourselves as the agents of our own liberation, it has been profoundly disempowering.

Six Questions About Your Class Location that EverydayFeminism.com Isn't Asking You to Think About Resource Type: Article Published: 2015 Solidarity doesn’t exist, like a material object, the way tables and chairs do. Solidarity is the confidence we can sometimes have that others, sharing with us a common enemy and a core of overlapping aspirations, will have our back when we find ourselves under attack, or when we need their support to win a crucial struggle. We don't stumble upon solidarity when poring over statistics; we won't find it by comparing our pay stubs with that of the worker down the street.
