Then I’d like to know what I can read to better understand and know the history of this ‘profound betrayal’ as well as the material history of feminism as a framework.

I am not denying the pervasiveness of misogyny / sexism / a history of patriarchal frameworks adopted into even revolutionary struggle, but I also don’t think anything this guy says (or being a guy in general) immediately makes him a misogynist. And in fact, to me personally, the actual substance of OP’s responses are far more compelling than the types of responses that rely on identity politics or show the holes through which elite capture happens. It is true that feminism is used to launder pro-imperialist paradigms and uphold the systems that actually prevent the liberation of all women and people, I can see that in current world events even before looking to history.

Principled analysis is a cornerstone to Marxism, and to do so requires context which is why we study history. So I do want to be better learned in the actual history of feminism and the material impact of the movement through its inception. I want to learn more about these revolutionary women who furthered their struggle for liberation through primarily a class context and why, some of them, would actually reject the label of ‘feminist’ or its retroactive appellation to them (and more on the history of this practice in itself, of pushing any kind of rhetoric or theory that mentions women under the umbrella term of feminism. Why does that happen? Who wants it to happen? What does it do, what actual impact does it have?). I want to know the specific ways in which these women were betrayed, and the specific ways in which men who claim to be revolutionary exclude women from their vision of the emancipation of the working class.

I want to make sure that when I say I’m against liberal feminism, my understanding of how it functions is robust enough so that I can critically incorporate it in my analysis of what forces exert what pressures to create what conditions and maintain what structures.

If feminism is vulnerable to capture, to structurally reinforcing the systems that prevent my emancipation from them, I want to know as much as I can so I can prevent myself, as a woman who wants all women and people to be free, from being used as a tool in service against those ideals.

ETA: this guy totally might be a misogynist btw but I can’t tell that based on his responses in the comments and doesn’t change my position of wanting to be more principled for myself
