Together, they herald a new international feminist movement with an expanded agenda: at once anti-racist, anti-imperialist, anti-heterosexist and anti-neoliberal.
Some 97% of women are heterosexual. Why would 97% of women be against heterosexism therefore?
I suspect they mean anti wife and mother. The Muslims will be happy to explain the alternative.
97% heterosexual? A lot of women are not averse to a spot of rug-munching. ‘Dabbling’, many call it.
97% false consciousness obvs.
You can be heterosexual and be against heterosexism.
Not against FGM apparently.
Matthew L: Only if you are a moron and Marxian scum.
Is Godfrey Elfwick involved? Just up hxs/hxr street.
Hang on you can`t bag these all up together
anti-racist – Me too , unlike Tim`s Nazi friends at UKIP / BNP/
anti-imperialist – Mmm Hapsburg Empire , quite a good thing , Ottoman Empire, rather missed …no I think I`m pro Empire overall. Beats rabid Nationalism anyway as any fule can see form the 20th century
anti-heterosexist – I would not wish my boys to be encouraged to abandon the ordinary male identity they seem to be happy with – not sure where that leaves me – don`t care on that one
and anti-neoliberal – Oh I am very pro Neo Liberal – I prefer it to short ignorant disease ridden lives and here again I diffre form Tim and his Nazi UKIP /BNP/ Protectionist / Tribal bringers of a new dark age –
So its a yes no dunno no from me Tim

How else are you going to get the group to be exclusive, hostile and hence worth being a member of?
Maths is hard.
According to Wikipedia:
Heterosexism is a system of attitudes, bias, and discrimination in favor of opposite-sex sexuality and relationships. It can include the presumption that other people are heterosexual or that opposite-sex attractions and relationships are the only norm and therefore superior.
And, no offence to the gays, but we should be biased in favour of normal. Because we’re a mammalian species that propagates itself through sexual reproduction.
I wish Elton John, David Furnish, and whoever’s in the middle of their manwich all the happiness and joy they can find in this vale of tears.
But, all other things being equal, is a normal man-and-wife relationship with a passel of adorable kids underfoot superior to three-or-more dudes playing rocketman? Or some disgusting “polyamorous” blubbermonster and her creepy chinless coterie of feeble-armed fedora freaks?
Of course.
It’s also reasonable to assume people are heterosexual for the same reason it’s reasonable to assume they’re not fluent Esperanto speakers.
Trump seems to have no problem with the gayers. He’s anti-imperialist himself, seeing as he wants the US to become more isolationist. He’s not much of a racist. And he’s no great neo-liberal, seeing as he’s talking about protectionism and tariffs.
Seems to me that these feminists should be supporting him, not opposing him.
Wemainian Steve
Nazi / UKIP / BNP / usual drivel
You do talk a lot of shite!
Linda Martín Alcoff, Cinzia Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya, Nancy Fraser, Barbara Ransby, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Rasmea Yousef Odeh, Angela Davis
Hmm… Wonder why they’re trying to destroy the white western family unit?
“Because we’re a mammalian species that propagates itself through sexual reproduction. ”
Isn’t that rather last geological epoch?
Surely the bright young post-modernists reproduce by re-tweeting now.
And, no offence to the gays, but we should be biased in favour of normal. Because we’re a mammalian species that propagates itself through sexual reproduction.
To put bluntly, what could be more life-denying than homosexuality?
Do you realize Angela Davis was spouting this same shit 50 years ago?
How time flies…
Dennis – she’s good for her age…
That’s me off the Happy Festivities Card list then.
BiS – Surely the bright young post-modernists reproduce by re-tweeting now.
Would explain the eggs.
Dennis – what could be more life-denying than homosexuality?
Transsexualism? Suicide?
I ain’t got nothing against the gays. Some of our greatest people are poofters.
It’s weird how the gay thing has morphed in an incredibly short period of time from:
1980’s: you should tolerate the gays
1990’s: you should celebrate the gays
2000’s: you’d better not upset the gays or we’ll jail you
2010’s: the gays are magical unicorn-saints who are better than you in every way and gayness will be shoehorned into every aspect of culture, history, education and entertainment and you’ll like it or else
I’m pretty sure this is tiresome even to blokes who enjoy a bit of manlove.

It’s a deliberate policy to goad the population into a “oh for fucks sake” backlash, at which point the nutters will turn around and say “SEE!! SEE!! WE TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN!”.

Whoa…
I don’t know what you’re smoking, I don’t approve of it, and I want some.
“Some 97% of women are heterosexual. Why would 97% of women be against heterosexism therefore?”
An awful lot of women belong to a race, too. Why would they be against racism?
You can be heterosexual and be against heterosexism.
True.
You can also attack heterosexuals and heterosexuality under the cover of “fighting heterosexism”.
Almost everybody has broken some bullshit law. How then can we be against murder.
I believe it was the forever war where a soldier returns from a light speed trip to a future world where as a result overpopulation the majority of people are gay and feels persecuted for being straight
‘new international feminist movement’
Where the women’s rights group tosses their objectives to join the communist movement. Long time women’s rights babes should be trembling as their cause is co-opted.
Yep, Forever War. One of the squaddies even gets turned so he fits in, if I remember right.
