feminism
I think of feminism fundamentally as a cause, as a quest to liberate women (and everyone, really) from gendered oppression. For me, it is an integral part of my socialism. There are other schools of thought about feminism: there’s pro-capitalist “lean in” feminism, the “patriarchy theory” kind of feminism, the liberal identity politics kind of feminism… but those are not feminisms I identify with at all.
