I don’t understand why there are so many people who consider themselves “Marxist feminists”, but at the same time are distracted by astrology.

The origin of feminism is working class, and as a working class movement, it is materialist. I don’t know if they at least know what dialectical materialism is, since they don’t see such an abysmal contradiction between astrology (pseudoscience) and feminism (materialism).

They remind me of the liberal “feminist” Gloria Steinem.

And the same with some anarchists.

What do you think about it?

astrology is not just a feminist thing, so why even bring up feminism in the first place?

This conversation is going around in circles. I have no interest in continuing and will not be responding further. Goodbye.

Astrology is not just a feminist thing. Feminism is not just a women’s thing. I mentioned it primarily because it is the way in which many people who are themselves focused on astrology (and the magical thinking involved) describe themselves.

Goodbye. :)
