Response to Gender in Feminism

December 17, 2015 by Chris Billows in Republic of Bloggers tags: Political Opinion, Virtuous Discourse

Response to discussion at… https://onlyagame.typepad.com/only_a_game/2015/12/gender-in-feminism.html

Feminism as it is mostly practiced is a political movement and as such has all of the blind spots that political movements do.

Solving women’s global issues through the spread of feminism is like solving war through the spread of pacifism. Both feminist and pacifist ideology are thinking systems that preach to the choir and do very little to build bridges with problem-makers.

Feminism as it is practiced in your example of Ms. Melhuish vs Ms. Greer is exactly the kind of magical thinking meant to completely invalidate one’s opponent. It is diametrically opposed to the values of equality which Feminism is supposed to stand for!
