    Women's March Became All About Identity Politics, Not Women's Rights

    I've been saying it for a long time now how contemporary feminism has drifted away from common rights into neo-Marxist postmodern identity politics.

    It's worse.

    Women's March Became All About Identity Politics, Not Women's Rights

    Author and conservative commentator Tammy Bruce said the Women's March has become more about race and identity politics than its stated mission to advance women's rights.

    Women's March founder Teresa Shook has asked several co-chairs to resign over accusations they are pushing racist and anti-Semitic views, Bruce noted.

    "It was an amazing organizational effort, started by a retired lawyer in Hawaii using a Facebook page," Bruce said. But, she added, it soon evolved and began pushing out pro-life and other voices.

    Bruce blasted the other founders of the Women's March mentioned by Shook, which include activist Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory, for refusing to condemn anti-Semitic minister Louis Farrakhan.

    "What they do go back to is saying that, as women of color, you know, this is our leadership. That, in other words, if you disagree with them, you’re racist," Bruce said....

    Yea, yea, it's fox news and a conservative woman commenting...but it is true: Founder of the Women's March calls for co-chairs to step down

    The founder of the Women's March is calling for the movement's current co-chairs to step down for allowing bigotry into their mission.

    Teresa Shook, a lawyer and educator who founded the Women's March movement, accused the group's current co-chairs -- Bob Bland, Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour and Carmen Perez -- of associating with bigoted outside groups and tarnishing the Women's March's initial goals in a post on her Facebook page Monday.

    The co-chairs "have steered the Movement away from its true course. I have waited, hoping they would right the ship," Shook wrote. "But they have not. In opposition to our Unity Principles, they have allowed anti-Semitism, anti-LBGTQIA sentiment and hateful, racist rhetoric to become a part of the platform by their refusal to separate themselves from groups that espouse these racist, hateful beliefs."

    "I call for the current Co-Chairs to step down and to let others lead who can restore faith in the Movement and its original intent," Shook added. "I stand in Solidarity with all the Sister March Organizations, to bring the Movement back to its authentic purpose."...

    The vast majority of this stuff is identity politics.

    It's all about demographic leverage power, not equality.

    Yes, it is about power and not equality nowadays.
