'Lewis takes up a debate with several Black feminists who have, at various times, questioned the idea of family abolition, whose central argument has been that, very often, Black families have been sites of resistance against racism. Similarly, we could point to many experiences of class struggle in which sectors of working families have played a key role against the attacks of capital: supporting strikes, establishing relations of solidarity between factories and neighborhoods, staging rent strikes, maintaining soup kitchens, creating movements in defense of public services, and many other forms of resistance. The tradition of “women’s commissions” in strikes, for example, has allowed the working class to articulate fighting forces far beyond the workplace.

'To this criticism Lewis responds that, even so, we should not cease working for the abolition of the family, since we would not need its “protective shield” if we managed to build a society without racism. The argument contains a grain of truth, but it stops halfway. It fails to contemplate the role that the family relations within sectors of the working class and oppressed can play in moments of heightened class struggle. On another level, it doesn’t account for the fact that capitalism, while it needs such a “social cell” for its own reproduction, constantly undermines working families’ very conditions of existence. Marx and Engels remarked on this in the mid-19th century, pointing to the length of the working day, the lack of decent housing, and the general precariousness of working class life.'

Transphobia is patriarchal violence.

Terfs are doing the hard work for the patriarchy, which they say they fight against.

I remember this picture. It was from before covid, but it is still as valid today as then.
Which of these girls should go to the men's bathroom? One of them is trans, the other is cis. Both are women.
What could happen to her?
Why?
Why can't she go to the women's bathroom?

For me the most frustrating thing about #radfems is that there is stuff I agree with them on. It's not like dealing with fascists where I can just dismiss all of their talking points out of hand. If I hadn't already blocked this account for SWERFiness then I would've retweeted this because while her analysis is incomplete (she doesn't factor in #racism, first of all) it's also not wrong.
