Fight back for women's liberation - Feminist Fightback conference

Feminist Fightback is a conference for feminist activists, sponsored by the Education Not for Sale Women's network, which will be held in London on Saturday 21 October (venue tbc).

We want to build a feminist movement that fights. A feminist movement that is about activism, not just talk; about grassroots campaigning, not just lobbying; about politics, not just lifestyle choices; and about liberation for all, not just equality for a privileged few.

The conference will include a variety of speakers, discussion and activist training workshops on themes including sexual liberation, international solidarity and women's struggles as workers. Planned sessions include:

- Pornography, objectification and freedom of speech
- Equal pay, low pay and workers' struggle
- Prostitutes: workers or victims?
- The fight for abortion rights - planning actions for the next year
- Building campaigning women's groups
- Against war, against theocracy - Iranian women fight back

Feminist Fightback is free and open to all; to find out more, get involved and/or register, please visit our website.

The fraud of feminism

16.08.2006 02:31

Feminism is an ideology of wealthy middle class women to ensnare lower status females into a struggle against ALL men, regardless of social class.

The feminist theocracy gain money, status and power by selling their books and presenting themselves as women's liberators.

Most women nowadays regard feminism as a dead duck, the haven only of unshaven lesbian oddballs.

However, the feminists still think they are "right-on".

How 1970's, how sad!

...maybe you feminists should discuss how to destroy all the other left-wing parties in Britain, like what you have done to the SSP!

If you feminists make any more valuable contributions to the left, I would suspect you of being controlled by MI5!

Silly me, you're all revolutionaries aren't you?

Presumably all revolutionaries study at Oxford and Cambridge. (You're not in the SWP by any chance?)

Doesn't Take Much for the Trolls to Come out of the Woodwork

The above commentator trying to pit the Scottish Socialist Party against feminists with his vicious homophobic language, is another useful pseudo-leftist stooge of the State trying to ruin the oppositional movement. Truth is, the only unshaven lunatics using UK Indymedia are the brain dead macho males who spread disinformation and dissent and try and split the left. Mercifully, all but the dead no-member lash-up Stalinist sects such as the EPSR and CPGB(M-L) now agree that womens liberation is an essential part of any progressive project. The anti-women trolls have lost.

Thanks, Twilight, you summed it up.

"Feminism is an ideology of wealthy middle class women to ensnare lower status females into a struggle against ALL men, regardless of social class." Erm, actually most of the people involved in ENS Women, the organisers of the conference, are socialist or anarchist feminists who have spent a lot of thought and time challenging bourgeois feminism of the type you attack.

Feminist Fightback will be made up of workers' movement, community activist and grassroots campaign speakers, specifically challenging the idea that women's liberation means having a few more women in the boardrooms and Parliament.

So your accusations couldn't be more unfair!

That said, I don't know why I'm bothering, you sexist, homophobic - and in reality anti-working class - tosser!
