Please be careful about pointing the finger at Soros, it's a common anti-semitic tactic. I agree that like other well-meaning wealthy people he is sending money to causes that hurt women, but linking conspiracy thinking to his name is a really bad move.

Yes, there's a lot of effort going into creating political chaos in the US but I doubt very much it's coming from Soros.

I do appreciate your sensitivities, but if someone is doing something to harm women then I'm going to point it out. I also mentioned Warren Buffett's son's support for transgender activism, and, as far as I know, he is not a Jew.

Soros was the number one funder of transgender causes globally for years. I got that off of a pro-LGBT site that tracks LGBT funding. IIRC that site was LGBTFunders.org but I can find the exact source if you're interested.

And, Soros organization boasts about his passionate attachment to transgender issues.

Part of the reason we women are in the predicament we're in is because, under the sway of post-Modernist-ish type thought, people, from Donald Trump to Charltte Clymr are allowed to create their own reality - but in the real reality, women's lives, sexual safety and sports are being destroyed in favor of men's feelings.

If we continue to let that happen - continue to discard or overlook facts in favor of not hurting people's feelings, we will never get our rights back.

What you say is right. I just want some vigilance on this issue. It's notable (Dworkin noted it) that misogyny and anti-semitism often go hand-in-hand.

I had asked another poster if we could please keep the "anti-Semitism" conversation off this sub because this is a GC sub about GC issues: I don't think that a debate about what constitutes "anti-Semitism" (versus being critical of Israel) is relevant.

I also think that said debate could divide women fighting desperately for our rights and we need to be more unified now than ever. So again, I ask respectfully that we leave the debate on what constitutes "anti-Semitism" to other subs.

In regards to this sub: I don't think that criticizing George Soros for funding transgender activism constitutes "anti-Semitism" any more than criticizing Obama for changing the definition of "sex" under Title IX to include "gender identity" (thus allowing men to compete against women in athletics, use girls' locker rooms, etc.) is anti-Black. The fact that Soros is a Jew and Obama is half-Black is irrelevant, it's the damage that they are doing to women's rights that should concern us all. Thanks!

Agreed

I feel like I'm going bonkers. Any time I heard "Soros" I'd reflexively roll my eyes but these days the back of my mind is nags "...but what if?"

It's what brains do defensively, looking for patterns in the chaos.

But what you're saying is the sober take. It's political chaos for the sake of political chaos and however some people are able to take advantage of that.

I had no opinion of Soros before, beyond thinking that he supported some good causes. For instance, his organization exposed hidden CIA torture sites.

But since I found out about his over-the-top support for transgender activism, I now feel that on the whole Soros is not a good guy. There's an interview on YouTube of Soros talking about helping his captors persecute other prisoners, including Jews, when he was in a concentration camp. That he did it because he himself wanted to survive would have been a bit more understandable, but he didn't put it that way.

My point though was not about any individual billionaire, it was that some billionaires seem to be acting collectively to destabilize societies worldwide, and especially attack women's rights. Women are often the gatekeepers to civilization, so that could be the entire point in taking what little power we have away.
