No surprise. It was Marx who wrested German leftism away from the idealism that now plagues the so-called left and who insisted political philosophy be grounded in material reality. And it was Engels who described male dominance over women as the first and oldest class oppression.
Postmodernism arose in reaction to Marxism; it is a reactionary politics that privileges subjectivity over material reality, individual over class, and completely dovetails with neoliberal consumerismin in which there is no society, as Thatcher stated, but instead only a marketplace in which we must sell ourselves for sustenance and buy ever more goods (styles, brands, etc.) to position ourselves as commodities within that marketplace.
With this dovetailing, genderism and its myriad identities is essentially corporate branding at the individual level.
That it also serves to push women out of the public sphere at a time when economists are predicting 40-50% unemployment rates within 1-2 generations is icing on the cake. We all know that when the pie gets smaller, women are forced, by men, to rely on the crumbs from male tables. History’s chock full of examples of that. The right, currently, expects that women will retreat to marriage and the kitchen. The left, currently, argues that the solution to the increasing feminization of poverty is via brothels.
Women’s community, women’s spaces, women’s solidarity with each other are going to become ever more vital.
