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?

yea, seeing online internet leftists on an english speaking forum saying things like 'religion is cancer' while Islam is uniting anti-genocide and anti-imperialist struggles against israel is... A Vibe, i guess.
