Notes: Toward An Efficient Political World-View

Hence, our movement is no movement at all, but a plurality of "motions" whose aggregate total amounts to a sloshing chaos. This condition puts us at a disadvantage, and NOT chiefly because it is inefficient of itself, but rather because it offers our enemies a compromising spectacle which they are only too happy to turn against us in their propaganda. the wrong assumption - that a "movement" exists. But our enemies seem not to have cognized this, and they are forever casting about to discover some imaginary "official voice of the men's movement", so that they can hold ALL of the so-called movement accountable for any indiscreet utterances this so-called voice might make, or be interpreted to have made. both bears witness to these facts about feminism, and stands as a roadblock against them. The minute you say "non-feminism", or "non-feminist", you are (so to speak) advertising a competing product and demanding a rightful share of the market for that product. Feminism, you see, not only claims a monopoly upon truth, but likewise claims a mandate to exercise unhindered political muscle on behalf of that monopoly. But the claim is spurious; the claim is a bubble. A way is needed to pop this bubble Feminism is an enterprise composed of many people who have only a skewed, sketchy, or compartmentalized knowledge of what they are involved in. It is also an enterprise which privileges theory over reality, and fails signally to factor the real-world result of its theories into its self-definition, preferring rather to lay blame upon the world when things go awry. In sum, if you wish to know what "real feminism" is, you could as well ask a non-feminist as a feminist. To ask a feminist about feminism is useful if you wish to put feminism on the defensive by forcing it to explain itself. But if you seek pragmatically useful knowledge about feminism as a phenomenon, you should commence your investigation in the border region of feminism's impact upon the larger world, and only much later convene your court of inquiry with the individual feminist. commences with mere indifference to feminism, and rises by degrees through the many shades of active opposition, even to the point of unmitigated vitriol.
