Why I No Longer Identify as a Feminist | @HPluckrosehttps://areomagazine.com/2016/12/29/why-i-no-longer-identify-as-a-feminist/ …

Honestly, I'm not familiar with Marxist Feminism or Marxism in general, but there's a clear radicalization
-
But in terms of Marxist ideology or in terms of identity politics and cultural relativity?
-
the latter. I noticed many articles on identity politics taking a more radical stance. Is that the new norm?
-
Yes. That's the influence of postmodernism. I think this is way more significant. But some feel Marxism deserves a mention.
-
And it does to some extent in that various ideas have been co-opted by postmodernists. But focus on the postmodernism.
-
BTW, potential confusion re: term 'radical' cos Radical Feminism is a branch which is opposed to the dominant postmodern one.

Wrote a bare bones guide to types of feminism. http://helenpluckroseblogs.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/a-twitter-users-guide-to-different.html … If not interested, saying extreme rather than radical
-
will prevent people from mistakenly thinking you're talking about the radfems who are a whole different problem!

On a side note not related to feminism, I see many flirting w/ Marxism and Anarchism. Is that where we're headed?
-
I don't know. I see this too. But much more familiar with the infiltration of academic leftism - postmodernism
-
What I'm seeing is that many of my peers, the more "progressive" ones are openly advocating Marxism/Anarchism
-
Hmm. This does not make much sense to me. The progressives, in my experience, are usually for larger government & censorship
-
And so are opposed to the anarchists who want total freedom. Anarchists are usually opposed to the Marxists for same reason
-
And the Marxists usually opposed to the far-left ID politicians coz they don't make class a major factor & vice versa.
-
Pardon my lame question, but why are Anarchists and Libertarians fighting each other, if both groups belong to the Anacho side?
-
I'm afraid my area of expertise is somewhere else completely. They both bewilder me tho Libertarians more coherent.

Those criticisms are reasonable & addressing them cld make it better. Other criticism is less so!
