Charles ☭ is now tooting from queer.partyAnti-porn style feminism dates back to the suffragettes. Its been exploited by anti feminists, but does authentically originate in the early feminist movement.
The suffragette movement is inspirational, especially in their methods. They did very needed work. But like every movement, they were heterogeneous. Not every aspect of it was good. There was a lot of racism and many individuals involved went on to become fascists.
Its important to learn from both the successes and failures of past movements. They are neither wholly good nor wholly bad.
That something so very flawed was still able to meet so many goals and have so many diverse organisations working in the same sphere is also something to bear in mind as a model and warning. Flawed movements can still get results. Perfection is not required, even as we all strive to do better. The flaws that slip through hold us back. But a flawed victory is often better than not trying at all.
