An afternoon with Silvia Federici

I am a mixed race native senior woman. I despair over gaining collective struggle when women r also attacking each other for their own benefit; competitive individualism. 3 women on my floor conspired to get me evicted.

Nasty (Misogynous) Women Problem The problem with these women is two-fold: 1. They are, themselves, the product of misogynous patriarchy, raised to perceive other women as a threat, competing for ‘their men’. 2. Patriarchal females are not embedded into a society of other women, are not part of a dynamic supportive reproductive group effort. In other words, they are not real women, 'competitive individualists' are not what we evolved to be. However, as violent as they may be, emotionally or even physically, they do not rape and mass slaughter.

@Jennifer Maple feminism is not an 'identity politics' and calling me duped by propaganda does not present you in a better light, my dear Trot. Class war you are referring to (dichotomy?) takes many forms & paths, but it always cuts thru the bodies of women. This is what this brilliant woman is talking about. And Marx too, feminism is that old. Careful throwing insults around, if you want to have an argument, do it respectfully and rationally. But you have nothing to substantiate your argument with only name calling and typing many 9s. As far as stating that anti-racist struggle is just a 'distraction' (from what?) this is disgusting. And how did nationalism get into that 'identity politics' list of yours? Silly, really. Educate yourself!
