Just to reiterate:
(the problem) Emma Goldman had with feminism, if women are looking to hold the same morally bankrupt positions of power that men have then equality is a false hope for all.
i.e.: If women obtain power their positions should be different from men because men hold morally bankrupt positions. Women who obtain power by being competent at the game as it stands/expressing views similar to men are not worth celebrating at all.
I'm not sure what you are arguing, but this is the original point and of course it is obviously a sexist position.
- pekk 14y agoSuppose that the people in power are doing things wrong. It is valid and not sexist to point out that putting other kinds of people in power to do the same things wrong, will not solve the real problem. The problem is that they are doing things wrong, not which plumbing they have.

- ErrantX 14y agoNot exactly. I see what you're getting at - but the original point is criticizing those positions of power as morally bankrupt and noting that although it is equality to see women in those same positions, those claiming it would be beneficial by making those positions more moral are holding to a false premise. i.e. that women entering these positions, which the commenter holds as morally bankrupt, won't make them better.
