    Unfucking it and refucking it and unfucking it again is not exactly success. No more so than recent changes to abortion in the US. And there’s a whole lot more to Feminism than abortion.

      …are you sure? Because if you end up with it unfucked, while in the rest of the world it is still fucked, then I would call that a success even if there was a rocky road to get there.

      And the rest of my comment is about how it wasn’t just abortion. You should read it.

        Yes, I’m quite sure in the context of my original argument that Russia was and is culturally conservative. A society that goes backwards like that never had a solid feminist culture to begin with.

          All across the west we’ve seen rollback of feminist issues over the past decade, do you think that that nullifies all of the victories that have been won? Liberation struggle isn’t like a tech tree that you climb in one direction, it’s a constant back-and-forth battle being waged between the oppressed and the oppressors.

            Nullifies, no. Shows that the west doesn’t have a solid feminist culture, yes. Same goes for the old USSR.
