    That has nothing to do with my remark. The far-right is anti-feminist.

    As to you question, there are many different strands of feminism and Marxist feminism, anarcha-feminism, intersectional feminism, queer feminism etc. are very much pro-left.

      Sure Finland’s female-led coalition party is not feminists according to YOU www.bbc.com/news/stories-55020994

      So pro-left they are & yet so pro-war, TERFs are a thing & guess what the feminists haven’t opposed the draft.

        "2Sure Finland’s female-led coalition party is not feminists according to YOU<br> www.bbc.com/news/stories-55020994"

        If you see feminism as every time there are women in government, why do you oppose feminism?

        “So pro-left they are & yet so pro-war”

        They’re a right-wing austerity government but I’ll bite, which war are you talking about?

        “TERFs are a thing too”

        Sure, I never said all feminists are left-wing. There are reactionary strands of feminism (if we accept that they are indeed feminists) such TERFs for example. My point is that feminism is not a monolith and the bulk of it is left-wing.

        “The feminists do not oppose the draft.”

        Correction: A country right next to an expansionist dictatorship does not oppose the draft. I’ll probably get shouted at buy when you are right next to a country like Russia, the draft is a necessary evil.

        “(Finland has a male-only draft & wants to join NATO which totally a defensive alliance)”

        Perhaps the draft should be extended to women. In any case, irrelevant to your “point” about feminism.
