(38,549 posts)Actually, I've started a thread with a focus on more specifics, so you can answer there.
because sometimes straight women want things that queer women
may not, in that case i will without hesitation be part of a queer alliance.
Can we not say what we're talking about? I'm imagining they're not equal pay for work of equal value, or affordable, accessible childcare, or services for victims of violence.
Are we dancing because the things in question are things like legal prostitution, and the positions in question are things like pornography is great stuff and language doesn't matter?
And the wants and positions of women who don't think they're put at risk by those things (which does not mean they are not put at risk by them, by the way) should outweigh the needs of women who, in the opinion of a whole load of people, are put at risk by them?
Is that just a one-way street? You're right because you're queer?
Maybe you can teach us that trick, so we can tell misogynist men we're right because we're women, and that will be an end of it.
Do you have to argue your position at all, or can you just say that's my position and it's feminism because I say so?
Being honest about where your analysis lies, you could indeed be. Being honest doesn't make one a feminist.
