But this movie is bad.

Do we want them to be equally patriarichal capitalist? That’s what she’s critiquing here.

Commerce and capitalism aren’t the same thing.

This sounds fantastic. These have basically been my gripes with contemporary feminism for the last year. She’s doing good work!

Yeah let’s listen to a former Reagan administration economic advisor who pals around writing papers with Larry Summers. Get the fuck out of here with this shit.

Surely you have an example?

it’s totally on-brand dude

Fuggin noice. Love it when commerce co-opts social movements. Love it even more when supposed organizers of social movements endorse it.

Asolutely nobody, and I mean NOBODY cared about the purity or integrety of the DNC machine and party line until the socialist showed up.
