Does anyone here remember this thread, and other similar ones around the time, in which Aja and DJ Lippy were said to be tainted by association because they went on a march about two tier policing and took some LWS leaflets.

its interesting to remember this in the context of this weekend’s news that FILIA have attended an omnicause march, yet we’re supposed to take it as read that these women can pick and choose which of the positions held by other marchers, they align with.

Its hard not to see this as being about how silly working class women can’t be trusted to be exposed to other view points without being beguiled into fascism, yet superior middle class left wing women are safe.

As has come up on earlier threads, although initially FiLia was almost a political vacuum and was as much about having a good day out as anything, it has now been infiltrated by various members of WP UK and AGCL. These groups certainly aren't omnicause, but are very entrenched in the far left analysis of what real left right politics is, ie virtue signalling and demonising any woman or women's group that doesn't agree with them.

So I'm not surprised they were on the march and want everybody (well actually only the right ie left sort of feminists) to know they were. If you see their facebook page it is almost pathetic how knee jerk they are now to let the head girls know they are toeing the line.

FiLia never was very political. It was much more a sort of fan club event to allow "ordinary" women to rub shoulder with well known women. Many of whom weren't strictly feminist but had aquired that name because they had written a book. So in MSM terms that makes them a feminist.

It’s daft if they think that the money is in the omnicause now, because I can’t see the omnicausers ever forgiving them.

To me, Filia are of the same mould as the now defunct WEP, naice middle class women patronising us uneducated plebs who don't know any better.

Allegedly JCJ was at the March, yet she often posted that other women who go on marches are “aligned” to that cause.

Who do you think has this strategy?

Show quote history

Um, men?
It could be the Illuminati organising it. Or it could be disparate actions with common factors (men v. women).

Yep. This ridiculous idea that, if anyone agrees with someone else about anything at all, they must agree about everything. I think SM has spread this silliness from the USA. It divides the opposition & greatly reduces any chance of success. Those at the sharp end of social change are fully entitled to express their opinions, whether I like it or not.

"It is difficult not to think that someone has a deliberate policy of subverting organisations that threaten to provide effective action for women"
Interesting hypothesis.

Agree, Filia are dead to me now. They're trashing their own history.

ZIGGY7 · 29/03/2026 18:43

Totally. It’s one rule for them and another rule to hold us lessers to. At least there can be no doubt that they are any kind of friend to women. Just massive Omnicause panderers.
