Is it a good idea for gender-critical feminists to make alliances with the Christian Right on issues we might agree on? Stop Trans Chauvinism collective maintains that this is a disastrous strategy. We understand that feminists who have chosen to work with right-wing Christians are sincerely trying to accomplish something positive for women. But we… Continue reading Stop Trans Chauvinism Statement Against Feminists Collaborating with the Right Wing
Who won? Who lost? The fallout from Kellie-Jay Keen’s tour downunder
Feminist Left Australia write: April 12, 2023 We are a group of radical feminists campaigning on women’s issues from a leftist and anti-racist perspective. Our previous article provoked considerable debate amongst feminist groups about alignment with the right and about Kellie-Jay Keen’s tactics, highlighting divisions over strategy and political approaches. This article reflects on KJK’s Australian and… Continue reading Who won? Who lost? The fallout from Kellie-Jay Keen’s tour downunder
What personal choices are open to critique?
Now that Kellie-Jay Keen has announced plans for a UK Women’s Party of some sort, her politics become especially relevant. The UK homes ongoing social prejudice towards many ethnicities, especially Muslims, with women often bearing the brunt of anti-Muslim sentiment and public aggression.
How feminists respond to this is a key test … one to which we should not respond by throwing any/all women’s interests under the bus simply to support a trans-critical candidate.
Hypocrisy, racism and the political consequences of personal choice in the gender-critical movement
It will not be news to anyone following gender-critical debates that a major cleavage within this movement occurs over the question of alliances with right-wing politics. The majority of people involved in the gender-critical movement appear to support allying with the right due to the mistaken idea that there is agreement between feminists and right-wing ideologues on transgender issues. A minority oppose such alliances, pointing out the right’s consistent misogyny and its deep opposition to women’s liberation. This latter group argue that, despite the misogyny of the left movement in its current form – as manifested most prominently in its support for “sex work”, pornography, and the rights of transgender people over those of women – feminists should continue to adhere to leftist principles. And, despite the practical impossibility of working with the left in many circumstances…

Is Kellie-Jay Keen of #StandingForWomen anti-abortion and racist, or ‘always quoted out of context’?
The polynymous poser certainly has a talent for building up a support-base of people who will say so. In early 2018, we heard that Ms Keen, aka Posie Parker, had been so passionately upset about the plight of Irish women who had not yet secured the right to abortion, that she allowed herself to be… Continue reading Is Kellie-Jay Keen of #StandingForWomen anti-abortion and racist, or ‘always quoted out of context’?
Feminist racism in the time of COVID
We have written often on this blog about the current tendency for feminists in Europe to ally with extreme-right Islamophobes, supposedly in the name of women’s rights. But this phenomenon of feminists allying with the extreme right is, naturally, not restricted to Europe: it exists all over the western world. Here we have a strong example in this article by prominent Canadian feminist Meghan Murphy, in which she minimises and excuses some fairly extraordinary racism on the basis that it is a joke, and that – somehow – attacking an individual who shared a link to the “joke” is a distraction from criticising China.
Murphy’s article concerns a racist shirt design, shared notably by the art director of clothing brand Lululemon, who has since been fired. Image source
First point: if the design is indeed a joke, it’s not a very good one.
Murphy’s article concerns a shirt with…
