There she goes again. Here also. Maia, our Kiwi Feminist friend from before has refused to learn.

This time she's wondering why her tear-up-FHM-magazine and make-Motherhood-state-funded and I-hate-men philosophy isn't going down so well with the girls. Gee, that's a tough one.

She's also grappling with the question of what all this Feminism stuff really is anyway. Is it like environmentalism for society? Well I think I know, so I told her...

Feminismm is not a monolith, nor is environmentalism.

Some environmentalists focus entirely on the marine environment, some are tireless campaigners for global warming while other environmentalists are exposing it as a lie. So what is an environmentalist? What these various shapes and shades of environmentalist have in common is a concern (after their own fashion) for the environment (after their own conception thereof).

Feminism is the same way. There is no single feminist lense unless it is to look at the world through a masculine/feminine conflict discourse. In the course of championing this cause there is a major branch of feminism which engages in polylogism.

Polylogism- "Many logics." The idea that there is not one standard of logic for all but as many standards of understanding as there are minds in the universe.

I think the defeat of polylogism explains why some feminists have the 'fear of being called out as the frauds they feel they are' and the reason "that 30 years of calling sexist men out has got us precisely nowhere."

Modern capitalism has proven successful for both the masculine and the feminine, it has caused the errosion of class conflict and the waning of racism. It has been demonstrated for everybody more and more that there is one standard of justice, of reality, of truth, of rights for all. One standard of reason for all; Polylogism has passed away.

And that is why patriarchy discourse must also wither intelectually, and it is also the reason modern women cannot adhere to it and act on it without feeling the contradiction of the fraud.

Well, most modern women.

But let's hope Maia and co catch up with the rest of us some day soon.

Capitalism Bad; Tree Pretty: Many Stones Can Build An Arch; Singly None
