it's like cargo cult feminism. they lack any understanding of or desire for genuine liberation, but they feel the need to engage with a hollow, ritualized mimicry of third wave feminism as the only remaining rationale for their preferred candidate. she is a woman, and therefore will be the first woman president, and therefore a vote for harris is necessarily a vote for the advancement of the cause of gender liberation, please ignore the ongoing genocide.

and because there's no theory underlying any of this, all they can do is grasp at the aesthetics of a cultural touchstone from last year. barbie aesthetics are apparently inherently feminist now because of the barbie movie, i guess. there's probably a relevant baudrillard quote about signs and simulacra.

it's patronizing, infantilizing, and completely dismissive of the material concerns of women around the world.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
