Feminism and Astrology
(hexbear.net)
I don't understand why there are so many people who consider themselves "Marxist feminists", but at the same time are distracted by astrology.
The origin of feminism is working class, and as a working class movement, it is materialist. I don't know if they at least know what dialectical materialism is, since they don't see such an abysmal contradiction between astrology (pseudoscience) and feminism (materialism).
They remind me of the liberal “feminist” Gloria Steinem.
And the same with some anarchists.
What do you think about it?
Speak for yourself. Making claims about "hooman nayture" being linked to mysticism isn't any more historically accurate than saying human nature is linked to violence and war. Sure, it's been a constant in most societies for most of history, but who's to say that's not just something we'll examine in textbooks in the future?
I agree with the particular focus on astrology, and I don't even see the link between astrology and feminism and I think it's weird from OP.
Silly rituals are one thing (culture, tradition), belief that supernatural forces affect the material reality is a very different category
