Re: Women Under the Spell
#2I LOVE articles like this because they prop up all the worst aspects of an ideology and try to present them as their best aspects.
Have they no self awareness?
According to this article:
* Feminists worship the devil
* God himself is patriarchial and therefore feminism is counter to God's will
* Science is witchcraft
* Intellectual enlightenment and freedom of thought come from Lucifer, and are therefore sin
Have they no self awareness? Do authors of articles like this actually think that aligning themselves with Christianity's representation of evil incarnate helps their cause? Do they think these arguments help advance their feminist ideals amongst Christian's?
It's scheudenfreued, I know, but this might be my favorite article about feminism of all time!

I don't think this article is trying to take the worst aspects of feminism and portray them as the best ones. It's certainly not trying to advance feminist ideals amongst Christians.
The article simply recounts a period in history when feminists defined themselves not only in opposition to patriarchy, but also to Christianity.
That association itself is not terribly novel, as Satanism is the obvious choice for rebels in a predominantly Christian society and Lucifer is literally the "light-bringer". Nonetheless, I would probably have failed to imagine it when prompted to think of feminism in the 19th century.

The article is an outline of historical events, not an opinion piece.
Also,
> come from Lucifer, and are therefore sin
The point of this kind of rhetorical inversion in Satanic groups (including nontheistic religious groups such as the Satanic Temple who do not believe there is a literal God or Satan) is to frame the very concept of "sin" as a tool of oppression that confuses actual moral imperatives with the arbitrary dictates of the powerful.

"Haha feminists sure are dumb."
Maybe you don't understand why they chose their symbolism the way they did. Maybe you've made an unwarranted assumption about their goals or how that symbolism was interpreted 100 fucking years ago.

It's a history piece, about feminist movements of late 19th century. What "cause" do you think it's trying to "align" with, exactly?

Should we post “left bias” from The NY Times, Washington Post, Citylab, et al? This is exactly what’s wrong with society, especially among the so-called smart people.
What’s wrong with a right bias? Doesn’t that enlighten the conversation? Is it possible that there a lot of good ideas from another side of the spectrum of ideas? Why do we call out “right bias?” Why not just let people think for themselves. Apparently that’s not allowed — anything veering even a slight bit right from the left of center or far left gets belittled and chastised. Open your mind. It seems the tolerance of the left is a myth.
