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?

This thread has so many ridiculous takes. Also I keep laughing at just how much of an obvious foreshadowing the title of this post was "Feminism and Astrology".

Like that feels like it comes straight out of reddit lmao.

Astrology is for uneducated morons.
