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?

    Anti-patriarchal aspects of witchcraft, as others have eloquently stated here already. Also on some level it’s a chicken/egg thing as some point, as girl power culture (I’m sure there’s a term for that) embraces certain hobbies and interests. For every girl that seems to embrace dangerous woo-woo shit, there’s thirty more that just wanna have fun.

    I may have my biases as a former Wiccan, though.
