1/7 I did a segment with @krystalball and @esaagar on how dangerous feminists are to racial and labor justice mov& #39;ts. Saagar mentioned how I said that a movement is only strong as the most risk averse White woman. 1 gets scared and the rest blow the mission to assuage her fear.
2/7 What I didn& #39;t talk about his how this goes down to the gendered division of risk and work. There is a LOT of literature about one half of the issue: the gendered division of work. And if you just look at the gendered division of work, you get a skewed view of the problem.
3/7 The other side, for Hegel and Kojeve, the primary side, is the division of risk/responsibility for freedom. You have feminists who have thought through the gendered division of labor, but yet have an unexamined anxiety
about destroying the gendered division of risk.

Or they expect the movement to be carried off by work alone and write risk out of the equation. Whereas I am VERY serious about a just distribution of the risk, guiding a just distribution of the work.

We don& #39;t really talk about the gendered commitments to keeping the status quo relationship to risk, or simply how much risk/responsibility for freedom they casually expect men to shoulder.

The main threat of feminism to the labor and racial Left is that instead of getting people used to shouldering risk, and building up people& #39;s risk tolerance, the Left runs around telling people that justice can be won without risk, through hard work "organizing" alone.
