fred has a way with words, and sees things many of us do but can't quite sum up easily or clearly, and here you can read and judge for yourselves as he speaks about modern feminism;
In my capacity of shade-tree anthropologist at large, I am trying to
make sense of the far Left. It is tough sledding. Most of it makes as
much sense as lug nuts on a birthday cake. Help me. I am really
confused.
I can’t see that the Left actually is Left, I mean. The Left
in its more practical embodiments used to be the champion of the
working man. It fought for unions, good pay, benefits and job security.
Conditions were horrible in America’s mines and factories. Things were
ugly, and Leftists often got hurt or, occasionally, killed trying to
remedy them.
Today’s “Left” is the party of Bill and Hill, of George Soros and the
half-educated narcissists of Hollywood rolling in dough, of excessively
comfortable academics and the media, all of whom use ethnic minorities
as voting fodder but want nothing to do with them. When do you think was
the last time Hillary or Megyn Kelly was in a truck stop or Legion
hall, or had dinner in a restaurant where most of the diners were black?
The Left is now hostile to working men, called “deplorables”
in an unwise moment of honesty by Hillary. Can you imagine Saul Alinsky
or Leon Trotsky worrying about transgender bathrooms or cultural
appropriation? And it is a weirdly teenage Left in which most seem ten
or fifteen years younger than their chronologic age. Oh good.
But now, feminists. They sound as crazy as Aunt Prudence, who thought she was a geranium, and we used to keep in the attic..............https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/12/fred-reed/fred-dworkin-vs-the-sisterhood-defending-women-against-bat-brained-viragos/
