 Abortion

I think my abortion views are expressed in this reddit thread and by Nathaniel Pyle here (changed to reflect my views on it):

I have private beliefs as they pertain to my Christian faith. I believe separation of church and state is crucial to our nation flourishing. I vote Democrat at the local level and support various factions of Democrats. I am troubled by what the Republican Party has become and choose not to be associated with it.

I support Rise Up 4 abortion rights and their reproductive rights activism (like die ins) and pro choice activism. This hit piece by Vice is yet another proof that the Liberal 2.0 establishment scum aren't really progressive or even liberal. Vice would rather tear down q pro choice group who has done more for abortion rights than Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats ever did.  Vice is wrong, Black Lives Matter is the group that is a pyramid scheme NOT Rise Up. So Vice has Rise Up mixed up with BLM.

Vice is nothing but a bourgeois, neolib ,fake progressive state run media mouthpiece for the establishment corporate Democrats and their Liberal 2.0 machine. They are no different than RT and Global times

Vice and their fellow DINOs/PINOS/ synth liberals who attacked and smeared Rise Up 4 Abortion rights are McCaryhists and Red Scare mongers

With that said, I am against any protests in Palestine, Afghanistan or Kazakhstan protesting Roe v Wade being overturned. It is none of their business, maybe they should focus on fixing their own countries instead of focusing on the US's abortion issues . I want the IDF to shoot missiles at the homes of any Palestinian in Palestine who protested Roe v Wade being overturned and I want the Taliban to throw any Afghan person who protested Roe v Wade being overturned in prison for 10 years to force them to do hard labor for 10 years.

I believe that abortion is only wrong if the fetus is conscious. 

I support one's right to follow their conscience in matters of sexuality and reproductive health

I am pro life for late term/third trimester abortion except in rare cases no matter if the fetus is conscious or not

Feminism

I endorse most of the feminist views and gender views that Lola Sánchez Caldentey has so take all of my views on women in this blog that are to the right of her with a grain of Lola Sanchez Caldentey salt and just know I really am really as left wing on those particular views as Lola is on said views but I do not know how to communicate that well

NO es Feminismo defender el alquiler de vientres

NO es Feminismo defender la prostitución y la pornografía.

NO es Feminismo perpetuar la jerarquía sexual patriarcal.

NO es Feminismo definir a la mujer por sus comportamientos.

Cuando oigas hablar en estos términos: NO ES FEMINISMO

If I am not feminist enough for ya'll I am willing to become a Transgender woman to eliminate my male privelge and prove my unwavering solidarity with ya'll

My feminism views are influenced in part by Rachel Cargle, any women's related views of mine which are to the right of Rachel's , please move said women's views leftward to where Rachel Cargle is on said views by copying and pasting said view here and revising it to be as left wing as Rachel Cargle is on said view

I agree with Rachel Cargle here and here and the post-comments here

As a teen, Cargle took note of the stoicism her mother cultivated. In the new book, she describes it as a response to difficult circumstances, the impracticality of falling apart. “We’re often in deep survival mode, Black women,” she says. “Softness was never offered as a tool.”

I condemn all of the angry comments that Rachel Cargle gets on her IG from pussified YTs ‍. Rachel Cargle is an intelligent, persuasive and strong woman and even if you are small minded enough to disagree with her you come away knowing that you learned something new and that maybe the left isn't as bad as feared

As a leftish feminist I stress the need to for us feminists to focus on the interconnectivity of the patriarchy and capitalism since by defeating capitalism we can abolish patriarchy 

I am a Cultural Feminist (in particular Cultural Trans feminist).  All of the other feminism variants I embrace I filter through my Cultural Feminism views and values. See here for more

Cultural feminism refers to the separatist idea that women innately possess an evolved essence, which distinguishes them from men, giving them societal advantages that culture at large has historically qualified as weaknesses. Cultural feminists believe that a woman’s perspective should receive more credence. Critics argue that cultural feminism relies too heavily on the “essentialist” tenets of society’s gender binary.

Cultural

Cultural feminism is the ideology of a "female nature" or "female essence" that attempts to revalidate what they consider undervalued female attributes.[19] It emphasizes the difference between women and men but considers that difference to be psychological, and to be culturally constructed rather than biologically innate.[20] Its critics assert that, because it is based on an essentialist view of the differences between women and men and advocates independence and institution building, it has led feminists to retreat from politics to "life-style".[21] 

One such critic, Alice Echols (a feminist historian and cultural theorist), credits Redstockings member Brooke Williams with introducing the term cultural feminism in 1975 to describe the depoliticisation of radical feminism.[21]

Cultural feminism seeks to improve the relationship between the sexes and often cultures at large by celebrating women's special qualities, ways, and experiences, often believing that the "woman's way" is the better way, or that the culture discussed is overly masculine and requires balance from feminine perspectives. 

Cultural feminism is based on a society of strong women guided by female concerns of pacifism and cooperation

I am pro Tiger mom (with conditions, like the ideas mentioned here to move it leftward and to connect it to feminism including respecting the autonomy of their children). Tiger Mom parenting is good because it meshes with Men's Liberation in combating toxic masculinity and in particular chauvinistic Asian Masculinity 

I am this type of Luxemburgian feminist

I am also a Fantifa feminist (Feminist Anti Fascism Aktion)   Here is a correction to that Wikipedia article in link)    

"Fantifa addresses fascism in its aspect as an antifeminist movement. Fascism is analyzed as a phenomenon encompassing male and female gender roles and fantifa theory discusses the roles of fascist women (as well as gender relations in the anti-fascist movement). 

Though some feminists are so biased by antagonism to men that they may characterize fascism as equivalent to the way all men are perceived to demonstrate domineering and aggressive traits, fantifa theorists believe the only effective way to address fascism as an antifeminist movement requires a complete dissolution of gendered conflict and oppose this perspective. Fantifa rejects the view that women are too peaceful by nature to take part in aggressive movements, both antifa itself and fascism, and it pushes for a more inclusive understanding of both to recognize the role of women within them.[3]

A 1989 fantifa brochure describes fascism as an institution based on patriarchal aggression. It suggests that fascism could not exist without society already embracing patriarchy and encourages antifa members to embrace the feminist movement to target a root cause of fascism.[15] 

Members of Bonn-based fantifa group Antifa Bonn identified anti-abortion activist Dr. Ferdinand Oeter as a former Nazi seemingly attempting to bolster the reproduction of white German citizens as an exercise in eugenics and to seed the culture with values that would support a return to fascism, having previously made a 1937 statement indicating the importance of keeping women in traditional gender roles as mothers and homemakers to rescue a perceived dying essential whiteness and bolster cultural Nazism.[3] 

Oeter was a member of the Deutsche Liga für das Kind (German League for Children), an antifeminist group part of a movement fighting for a state subsidy for women to become stay-at-home mothers.[16] 

The campaign was explicitly derived from Nazi policies, brought into the modern day by former Nazi eugenicist Friedrich Burgdörfer, and Oeter contributed the narrative that West Germany taking this route would lead to economic growth.[17] This effort escaped notice of men's antifa movements as what they would consider an issue of concern before fantifa called attention to it.[3]

I support men taking a more active role in feminism and fighting for women's rights . 

Maybe this type of female advocacy can be a decent start to help get more men to become feminists 

I am against urinal bans. There is nothing sexist, transphobic or supremacist about someone standing to take a piss

I agree with Sophia Bollag below, I support We Said Enough as they are an asset to help curb and fight against sexual violence 

"

@SophiaBollag

Alicia Lewis of We Said Enough is also here. She co-founded We Said Enough at the height of #metoo and helped pushed the Legislature to reform its investigation process. She says she’s proud to stand in solidarity with women speaking out about problems with the new system."

Claudia Conway is an anti woman sexist who has internalized misygony in her. She poses for Playboy which has exploited women for decades and who wrongly used women for their looks. Claudia Conway shares that sentiment by her posing for Playboy. Claudia whines about women's rights but she will never try to destroy patriarchy or do direct action or do any Anarcha Feminist/ Marxist Feminist type activism on women's behalfs. Claudia is a phony who is a needy child who is trying to find a man or a butch woman to protect her and shield her from patriarchy instead of her trying to smash patriarchy herself.   Claudia Conway is inwardly almost as anti woman as Trump is

Finding fellow left wing femininsts in other countries around the world makes me proud of our comradery and solidarity and common dream to abolish patriarchy and to cause gender to be dislodged from power and in which our feminism destabilizes and uses the master's tools for its own rebuilding of life. 

It's the same feeling when I see fellow Christians in other countries or when I see fellow Fire Emblem fans in other countries (assuming they weren't playing Fire Emblem due to consumerist neoliberal brainwashing by globalists and that them playing Fire Emblem was autonomous)

It is neat seeing feminists in other countries who have the same goal as me despite our distances and that creates warmth, connection and joy in that through different places we are being like the Planeteers in Captain Planet but instead of stopping pollution we are stopping patriarchy and destroying anti woman structures prevalent in society.

 

Seeing fellow feminists all over the world also is great for because I know that these international feminists, by being a feminist will  be on a path to also fight against western imperialism, cultural colonialist trans national corporatism AND by going against the male establishment  (like mentioned here)

However, I do not share the above viewpoints and feelings on feminist solidarity and comradery when it comes to my views on the worldwide woman's marches against DJT outside of the US or the Pro Choice protests in 2022 after Roe v Wade were overturn and I will explain why in the future (work in progress)
