International Womens Day

[L.B. Neill]

Hi to all on International celebration Women in societies the world over!
I know it was yesterday here… and perhaps in the UK: has near past.
I will say this: non of us are free until all of us are free!
Sexism and other forms of gender-cism abounds: until all forms of cisms end- we struggle on.
Thank you sister and allied brother, and all our expressions.
You make the journey to freedom in strength.

“A hundred years ago, the Frenchman Charles Fourier, one of the first great prophets of socialist ideals, wrote these memorable words: In any society, the degree of female emancipation is the natural measure of the general emancipation.”

Thanks DJP.
It seems a wilderness at times.
You are a tree in a forest: I want my kids to experience emancipation in the fullest (beyond capital modes and beyond gender divisions).
Now and then people in socialism ask why gender participation seems out of balance… we need to evaluate this.
I thank you for an echo. Long may an echo of one or two trees build into a forest… our kids future depends on it. Even if the echo has difference, it means a lot.
I am a father of girls (both class and gender work to oppress them) and I will work to end their oppression in all its forms.
