Once upon a time, over 100 years ago, the struggle for women's rights was the most progressive trend in the left movement.

Why? Because it was a struggle primarily for political equality, for equal political rights for women, and this automatically meant a struggle for the rights of the entire working class. Which, by the way, put many wonderful feminist women of that time at the forefront of the class struggle.

After the Great October Revolution and 70 years of the existence of the USSR, as well as the tireless struggle of the working class around the world, made equal political rights of men and women a civilized norm, any struggle for any special rights of women is no longer turning into a progressive struggle for common the interests of the proletariat as a single class, which can only be a political struggle, but in a struggle to obtain preferences at the expense of fellow class members. Which cannot but be warmly welcomed by the bourgeoisie, and welcomed, as we can observe it everywhere.

Therefore, modern feminism, in the developed countries of the world, is an extremely reactionary movement, akin to racism or nationalism, and most likely even worse, since mankind has learned to fight against racial, national and religious discord for a long time. But sexual strife is a fresh way of dividing the masses into their own, taken by the bourgeoisie for armament, a method against which there is no sufficiently developed antidote.

Feminism is a product and continuation of individualistic bourgeois thinking. But just as there cannot be a spherical individual in a vacuum, neither a spherical man in a vacuum nor a woman spherical in a vacuum can exist. Not even just purely female communities, not purely male ones.

Man and woman, in Marxism, are two inseparable sides of a single whole - Man (aka Human). Indissoluble, inseparable, it's the same thing from two sides that cannot exist one without the other ...

There is no and there cannot be any separate solutions for any of these sides, they can only be general, and exclusively for the Man, and not any one of his singled out sides. Therefore, no truly equal rights for either man or woman can be achieved separately. They can be achieved only as equal rights for a Man of any race, any gender, any age, any religion ...
