I've never seen them claim to be Marxist, but the Heritage Foundation collaboration was a huge fuckup.

In my opinion, it wasn't, and I find many stances of the Heritage Foundation distateful. I am, right now, allying with conservative women against the Equality Act. Why? Well, I've allied with conservatives in the past, on one specific issue, being honest with them on where I stand on their other issues, so we don't discuss those, much less fight about them, and our efforts have been successful.

Conservative activists are very well-organized. They don't sit around, but go out and get things done. They are often quite pleasant people on a one-to-one level.

I'm not talking about the Klan when I talk about conservatives. I'm talking, in this current case, about women who believe marriage should be between a man and a woman. I believe the government should stay out of marriage altogether beyond allowing the civil aspects for everyone, and then let marriage be an individual church, religion, whatever entity is marrying the couple's, choice. Separation of church and state.

But while I disagree with these women on gay marriage, and on a US/Israeli attack on Iran (they are Christian Zionists), we are all women. The rights and safety of the women and children we love are in dire jeopardy. We must unite as women across party lines to put out this raging inferno and then can go back to fighting on opposite sides of other issues.

And I'm old enough to remember when Republicans and Democrats often worked in a bi-partisan manner on single issues. It made the government run much more respectfully, if not smoothly.

However, I firmly believe that each of us should not be judged on our own plan of action and each work towards our goal our own way, because it's going to take all of us and whatever individual or group effort we put in, to take down the GenderNaut. tl;dr "You do you" and I'm not saying that in a rude or snarky way(!!!) - I just think it's going to take all of us, doing what we think is best, to stop the gender lobby.

To put it into perspective, I finally became old enough to vote in the most recent election. Also, I know women have been speaking out, but I meant actual Democratic politicians, who should at the very least react to the blatant censorship of it. You're right that we should be able to collaborate across party lines, but nowadays, people see that and our stance becomes right-wing in their minds. I think my initial belief that WoLF is conservative was incorrect. I'd like to see WoLF on some platforms with a left-bias to change some minds, but no doubt they're being blocked out. If there are any genuinely unbiased news sites/platforms, please direct me.

Congratulations on being old enough to vote - what a thrill.

WoLF was (and is) completely blocked by mainstream and Leftist media. So are any individuals and groups critical of gender ideology - it's the most complete black out I've seen of Leftists by the media except perhaps in the run up to Iraq War II.

The Democrats as a party are 10000000% behind Big Pharma, whoops, I meant the Gender Lobby. Individual Democrats might be uneasy, but they aren't allowed to speak out. Which is unreal because I can't recall another issue where not one Democrat broke with the party line.

There are the feminist sites - Feminist Current, AfterEllen.com, WomenAreHuman.com and a few others, but those are not news sites. There are also some sites that will occasionally publish GC op eds: Quillette, UnHerd, UnCommonGround - also not news sites but at least read by people other than feminists.
