I guess in this world of magical thinking you can claim to be anything you want to be, but I agree that feminism is about objecting to hierarchy not embracing it. remember Greenham Common!

We are led to believe that a person with a female gender configuration serving the cause of imperialism is some sort of progressive achievement for women. That is the general stance of bourgeoise feminism so deftly advanced by ruling class servants such as Gloria “CIA” Steinem.

This was diagnosed early on by Eleanor Marx, youngest daughter of Karl Marx.

Via AI summation:

‘Eleanor Marx viewed women's liberation as inseparable from the struggle against capitalism and for socialism, pioneering the political philosophy of socialist feminism. Unlike middle-class feminists of her era, she believed that true emancipation for working-class women was impossible without the overthrow of the entire economic system, which she saw as the root cause of their oppression. ‘

Well written. Agree wholeheartedly. As you've stated, and I repeat often, giving you credit: "War destroys a mother's hard work."
