I get this argument and support reasonable feminists who want to reclaim the term. However, I think, in non-patriarchal societies where legal equality has been achieved & where both men & women experience privileges & disadvantages, gender equality should be postfeminist.https://twitter.com/quellist1/status/984823095306473473 …

But with the - possible -exception of some Scandinavian countries, I’ve yet to see a society that could convincingly be described as non-patriarchal - and even if we do end up at that place, I think the danger of rollback is a constant headache. You need a rallying point.

We may have a woman for PM, but we're scant inches away from having a man for PM who believes no woman should ever have the right to abort; and in the US, Roe v Wade is (and has been since its inception) under sustained attack. These, I think, are coal mine canaries. 2/

You realise abortion and sex work are opposed by way more women than men? This is a socially conservative or, in the latter case, feminist position, not a patriarchal one.

I wouldn’t class anti sex work as always a socially conservative one. The most vocal Nordic Model advocates do it based on women’s rights rather than a dislike for sex.

Well, you see that I acknowledged feminism in the other one. It doesn't tend to be the liberal feminists tho who oppose sex work. That tends to be the radical branch.
