Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

New gender critical group formed for socialists

Many gender-critical women have rallied under the Woman’s Place UK banner. Now, let us also have an organisation specific to socialism, that any socialists can join — women and men — when they want to organise and take action.

Gender is not sex. Gender is a set of socially constructed rules of behaviour and a dress code, varying from culture to culture, which is imposed on women and men and serves to keep traditional hierarchies in place.

If you don’t want to see “gender identity” built into our law and enforced, if you don’t want schools teaching children gender stereotypes as though they were something biological and inescapable, if you’d like to help put this damaging misconception right in your party, union or workplace, please email [email protected] or visit our Facebook page to sign up to our mailing list.

Rise Above Gender — Socialist Action Against Gender Stereotyping is a project devised by Kay Green and Diane Jones, both committed socialists and trade unionists, and also the title of the Facebook sign-up group.

(I must admit I always thought that WPUK was a socialist feminist group!)

Thanks for posting. I know Diane and she's passionate about all of this.

Great. Thanks.

Great news, it was only last week that some women made a speech saying gender critical feminists were teaming up with the American Christian right. I don't think they can say that about this group!

I don't think they can say that about this group!

Gender enthusiasts will say literally anything about literally anything, so I literally wouldn’t put money on it.

I nearly missed this, and after I took out a subscription to Morningstar online and everything. Must pay more attention.
Have now joined the facebook group and am reading the resignation letters people are giving to the Labour party. I wonder if I kept a copy of mine? Perhaps they'll be a bit more interested with a general election in the offing?
