On second thoughts, since Walter has chosen not to reply to my measured and polite post, I need to point out that we have a problem here, especially after seeing other 'adhom attacks' on this board. It is becoming intolerable.
Well you need to progress beyond the kindergarten stage These are strawmen - intersectionality (and genuine feminism, anti-racism) is usually concerned with serious discrimination and abuse - not 'culture'.
Where the f*** do you get these notions from? You have degraded my comments to kindergarden stage spiced in with strawmen completely ignoring what Pilger has actually said. Have you no shame?
Almost everything put up here against so-called identity politics attempts to blur the distinction.
Walter, this is so beneath you, it takes my breath away. Such a broad-brush statement is not worth contemplating even by dim-wits.
So it's no use trotting out the tried and trusted stalwarts - Pilger is dissing the corporate feminism but doesn't bother to separate it from the worthwhile, real part. In this respect, they are acting as gatekeepers.
I am impressed, but not swayed. Pull the other one
