depends on what. I agree with most of the standard positions about gender as a social construct (or more accurately, I don't give a fuck what it is, I just don't see a good reason to interfere with how people identify or present). Power + prejudice vs. just prejudice is a distinction that needs to be made, as long as it's being made I don't care about the semantics but when people bring up "reverse racism" or something without understanding why it's different I cringe. Gender, racial other social issues in media etc. should be taken seriously (although nobody's actually trying to police what you enjoy), rape culture is real, affirmative consent is a good idea etc.

Reactionaries are the dumbest fucks you can argue with because they can never be fucked to read or research anything that doesn't automatically conform to their pre-determined social beliefs and will never change their ideas on anything.

Reactionaries are not just conservatives though, even leftist fucks like The Amazing Athiest don't even have the most basic understand of feminist theory or sociology, he like most just strawmans patriarchy as "a secret club that all men belong to who think about putting down women!, fucking conspiracy level crazy bullshit!" instead of the actual social structure it describes and then does that terrible argument "Well men lose child custody more! Men get less mental health help! how can patriarchy exist huh!" when THOSE ISSUES ARE LITERALLY CAUSED BY THE SOCIAL CONDITIONS OF FUCKING PATRIARCHY.

As a former hardcore MRA, this is a load of shit.

The vast majority of the MRA movement are neo-reactionaries who hide behind a self-professed "progressive" movement, that really just masks defending the status-quo gender relations.

Male issues are fought for heavily by actual feminists. Listening to public radio the other day they were talking about male issues that I've never even once seen brought up by MRAs or brought up in the 6-8 years I was a radical MRA.

I have no problem with groups that try fight for fathers rights, or mental health clinics for men or whatever, but the MRA movement is just filled with toxic misogyny and the worst part is that they are totally blind to it and will claim they are egalitarian and yet in the same sentence say some ultra passive-aggressive misogynistic shit.

Patriarchy deals with institutional power. Patriarchy as "society that benefits men" or some shit is bullshit and incorrect with the academic understanding of the term.

The issue with this is it clearly shows the female focus over men in gender studies as institutional power has it's own issues that come with it so valuing it as the most valuable thing in gender relations shows a focus on getting what men have, which is most likely because of the heads of the field early on were women.

Both sides struggle because of their roles they are conditioned to. The focus on institutional power and making it equal has liberated women but done little for men because of it. Power in society has nothing to do with institutional power but people's positive liberty.

>>5641673
So what is the focus then? The powerful positions or the small amount of men who get them?

The view of feminism for decades has been letting people know women can compete with the men for these small amounts of powerful positions, mainly as a reaction to the strict "housewife" role instilled during the 50s and such and in many cases trying to escape it and demonizing the past situation of women, which has also done nothing for trying to get men to be okay with taking up that role as well.

All the focus has been on getting men and women in men's social roles and while we can quite some cases of Gloria Steinem talking about wanting to get men okay with women's roles there has been incredibly little work towards that and much done against it.

>"Cultural Marxism"

This phrase doesn't even mean anything. It's completely nonsensical. It's a buzzword used by conservatives who don't know anything about Marxism.

>The whole idea of "applying" Marxist theory/dimat to a specific facet of superstructure or base, such as culture, is fundamentally flawed. Dimat is an overarching analytical framework that serves as the base for Marxism. It's not a specific framework. Culture always has a place in the framework, as it's a part of superstructure in the relationship we've established above. You can't apply Marxist theory specifically to culture (as is proposed by cultural Marxism) because culture is already an element of Marxist dialectics, and is already examined via the theoretical framework. Furthermore, even if we were to examine culture specifically using dimat, this is contradictory in nature. Marxist theory is deterministic, where Marx emphasized that ideas have no significant consequences. To examine culture deterministically would be a fundamental contradiction to Marxist theory - it would be a dialectic idealism, not a materialism.

>The term "cultural Marxism," then, is either redundant, or self-contradictory in nature. Certainly the Frankfurt School would have nothing to do with such an application of dialectic materialism, but even if they were, they would quickly run into problems. Beyond the Frankfurt School, framing of the term "cultural Marxism" is inherently flawed because it fails to grasp a basic understanding of Marxist dialectics, and this is why it serves no position in scholarly debate, but in propagandizing.

Most likely caused by abortion/contraception than the liberation of roles, however. Contraception did wonders to empower liberation from roles. Take that away and keep the liberation and you may have a far different picture. If you wish to have abortion/contraceptives, though, I could see enforced gender roles being a positive thing but there would be no clear way to enforce it that isn't tested by the sheer existence of abortion/contraceptive methods in the society.

>How is cultural demonization of nuclear families practical?

The nature of Cultural Marxism is using the idea of Marxism as a "philosophy of praxis", to develop a method where cultural analysis is subjected to the interests of the revolutionary movement. It is not a buzzword them, but a a good description of a phenomenom that was never named before, the strain of Marxism that exists in the Western world from Antonio Gramsci to Ernesto Laclau.

>Historicism of this type dispenses with the notion of transcendental truth and ascribes a functional character to all human knowledge. I f this was Labriola's view, he was in agreement with the young Marx and not with Engels's positivism. For, if praxis signifies the whole of man's part in history, the value of intellectual production as an aspect of that whole is to be measured by the mind's ability to 'express' changing historical situations, and not by the correspondence between some 'objective' universe and the description of it, This line of reasoning was later followed by Gramsci, probably under Labriola's influence.

>In spite of the imprecision of his wrrtmgs, Labriola played an important part in the history of Marxism. His was probably the first attempt to reconstruct Marxism as a philosophy of historical praxis, treating this as a concept in terms of which all aspects of human life should be interpreted, including intellectual activity and its product. He was thus opposed to the scientistic ideology that dominated Marxism in his day. The doctrine outlined in his works was revived in the twentieth century by Gramsci and Lukitcs among others, inspired by the publication of Marx's early writings. This version gave new life to the idea of humanism as an epistemological standpoint, treating human history as the boundary of attainable knowledge and re-stressing the relativistic aspect of Marxist doctrine.

No, you idiot, and if you took the time to actually read my post instead of reading the first sentence and then whipping out that copypasta you had saved from browsing Conservapedia, you'd know what you're talking about. But you didn't and you don't.

Many people, such as yourself, are unfamiliar with and unsure as to what exactly Marxism / dialectical materialism actually is. So conservatives take two terms ("cultural" and "Marxism") and combine them into one scare quote soundbyte. It's an easy scapegoat that incites fear and is sure to do so based on the small amount of people in conservative political circles who have actually read Marx. Conservatives use it interchangeably with "moral/cultural relativism" to make it seem like a very specific attack on the culture and traditions of Western society. It's an illustrated conspiracy theory intended to make people afraid of anything that seems to resemble critical theory. Dialectic materialism is merely an analytical framework - it doesn't seek to "do" anything, merely analyze it.

It's perfectly fine to disagree with Marx, or the Frankfurt School. But actually take the time to read them first instead of getting all your information secondhand from Conservapedia or neoreactionary blogs.
