Question

Question – in the long run which is worst the communist propaganda of the feminist rhetoric?

Answer 1

man im sorry i dont understand the question that probly the smartest question ive seen on yahoo though

Answer 2

They are kind of similar.  Both use politically correct terms and tell you how to think/talk, etc.  

Both say they want equality but have citizens who are privileged.  Both got laws changed so that the privileged are protected while the others (citizens)

are harshly treated.

Answer 3

Fairness,equality and justice are just slogans.What counts is what you mean by them and how they are implimented.I guess this is the point you are making but the fact remains that slogans and rhetoric do not always produce the result those who espouse them think they mean by them let alone satisfy the audience they are intended to address.

PS Part of the definition is how you define what is unfair unequal and unjust and then say what difference your program will make to these specific situations.

Answer 4

The problem with Communism is that you cannot force all society to stay equal, given a level playing field some will succeed while others fail, when you put this with how many will be corrupt and abuse any power they are given communism was doomed to failure.

Feminism is for fairness  and equality but does not expect to keep all women on the same level, just to give women the same chances and rights in life which men have.



That you feel so threatened by women having equal rights that you have to compare it to communism makes me think that you feel threatened and are unsure you can compete with women if there is a level playing field.

I feel sorry for the many men today who are incapable of accepting women as equals in society.  You are denying yourselves an opportunity to share a partnership with over 50% of the worlds population.  

The best you can do is make cheap shots at women to try to cover up your inadequacies.

Answer 5

I'm not sure what your question is asking. Are you implying that feminism and communism cannot co-exist? I'm a democratic socialist and a feminist; nor am I alone. The Peace and Freedom Party is a feminist/socialist party: http://peaceandfreedom.org/home/

Answer 6

Fairness, equality and justice?

No.

Some just fight for peace on their own half, a good man/woman knows not to interfere as life takes its own route.

A good man/woman keeps to theirself and only battles their own battles.

Everything happens for a reason, a good man/woman will respect that and let things happen as they are.

Feminist Rhetoric.

Answer 7

A lot of feminists have the mistaken idea that feminism supports equality between the sexes but the fact of the matter is that FEMINism is not HUMANism as shown in the prefixes of the words.

Answer 8

Communist propaganda resulted in an end to meritocracy, massive shortages, the permanent silencing of dissenters, and in general an entire nation of automatons. The KGB tried to stop my grandmother from writing letters to her sister in Canada. Was feminism ever the direct cause of anything like this? No! Do feminists currently support anything like this? h**l no!

Answer 9

first quest.-yea.

Answer 10

Feminism was born out of reincarnated socialism. Take the following quote:

"Rape is an expression of ... male supremacy ... the age-old economic, political and cultural exploitation of women by men."

Does this sound like a modern radical feminist? Guess again. It is from a 1948 American Communist Party pamphlet entitled "Woman Against Myth"by Mary Inman.

In a recent book, Red Feminism: American Communism and the Making of Women's Liberation, (2002) feminist historian Kate Weigand states: "ideas, activists and traditions that emanated from the Communist movement of the forties and fifties continued to shape the direction of the new women's movement of the 1960s and later."

In fact, Weigand, a lecturer at Smith College, shows that modern feminism is a direct outgrowth of American Communism. There is nothing that feminists said or did in the 1960's-1980's that wasn't prefigured in the CPUSA of the 1940's and 1950's. Many second-wave feminist leaders were "red diaper babies," the children of Communists.

Communists pioneered the political and cultural analysis of woman's oppression. They originated women's studies, and advocated public daycare, birth control, abortion and even children's rights. They forged key feminist concepts such as "the personal is the political" and techniques such as "consciousness raising."

In the late 1940's, CPUSA leaders realized that the labor movement was becoming increasingly hostile to Communism. They began to focus on women and African Americans. They hoped "male supremacy" would "bring more women into the organization and into the fight against the domestic policies of the Cold War."

Communist women who made up 40% of the party wanted more freedom to attend party meetings. After the publication of "Women Against Myth" in 1948, the CPUSA initiated a process of "re-educating" men that we recognize only too well today.

Communist women formalized a sophisticated Marxist analysis of the "woman question." The books In Women's Defense (1940) by Mary Inman, Century of Struggle (1954) by Eleanor Flexner and The Unfinished Revolution (1962) by Eve Merriam recorded women's oppression and decried sexism in mass culture and language. For example, Mary Inman argued that "manufactured femininity" and "overemphasis on beauty" keeps women in subjection.

The founder of modern feminism, Betty Frieden relied on these texts when she wrote The Feminine Mystique (1963). These women all hid the fact that they were long-time Communist activists. In the 1960, their daughters had everything they needed, including the example of subterfuge, to start the Women's Liberation Movement.

It is hard to escape the conclusion that feminism is Communism by another name. Having failed to peddle class war, Communism promoted gender conflict instead.
