Girls night out

by Some ecstatic feminists
the latest feminist offensive
Not so long ago, some young women in Santa Cruz slashed the tires of the hated parking enforcement vehicles in the night, as nothing could better exemplify the slightly matriarchal character of authority under Empire. Masculinized women and feminized men are all that are left to us of the once eternal "gender roles". In this the police, sensing their emasculation, have tried to hush it up, but that won't work! A dying capitalism assumes the form of femininity as a last ruse, like the specialized female anti-insurgency squads in Afghanistan today. No matter! We have here turned the stereotypical assumptions concerning women into an offensive ground, the better to take the attack to capital and the state. No one ever suspects a lady. . .

"This action sets a precedent". Indeed, a different precedent, a different target, and a different action, for an-other type of feminism.

much love,
some ecstatic feminists
