How do you reconcile neoliberalism and feminism?
Advertisements [?]
Many people on DU are against imperialism and the manifest destiny
intent that lurk inside the neoliberal view that we should set the
rest of the world right 'cuz we know better.

Womens rights are very weak in many nations in this world, and if
we do not go about "setting them right", then they will stay abysmal.
Feminism, however, is by its very nature not a hard-force kind of
approach, and is not delivered through the bomb bay doors of a B-52.
That is speaking regarding "macro" feminism, inter-cultural womens
rights.

In micro-feminism, surviving as a woman in a patriarchal culture that
systematically represses women, can involve being ruthless, and
being a "bitch", to demand equal treatment. Presuming that this
technique works on a macro-scale, i call "B-52 feminism", and,
as has been proven in afganistan, despite the rhetoric, womens rights
are not improved.

So how do we achieve a world of real womens equality for all
3+ billion women on this earth? What do you think?
