Jews and the Feminist Movement
Thread 🧵:
The extreme Jewish overrepresentation behind the feminist movement is an undeniable fact. Just by examining the Wikipedia numbers and comparing them to the religious population percentage, Jews are overrepresented by approximately ~28000%!
Modern feminism, especially “Second-wave feminism” was created and led almost entirely by Jewish feminists. The book by Betty (Goldstein) Friedan, “The Feminine Mystique” is credited with sparking the “second wave” of American feminism.
Gloria Steinem (grandaudghter of Jewish American suffragist Pauline Steinem) became recognized as the leader and spokesperson for the American feminist movement in the 1960s and 70s.
Heather Booth founded the “Chicago Women's Liberation Union” together with two other Jewish Feminists, Naomi Weisstein and Vivian Rothstein. Before abortion was legalized, Booth ran an underground abortion service called “The Jane Collective” that operated from 1969 to 1973.
Shulamith Bath Shmuel Ben Ari Feuerstein was a radical feminist writer and activist. She was a central figure in the early development of radical feminism and second-wave feminism and a founding member of 3 radical-feminist groups: Redstockings, NY Radical Feminists and NYRW.
Ellen Willis was a member of NYRW and co-founder of the radical feminist group “Redstockings”. She was highly critical of the “anti-pornography feminism” movement. Her 1981 essay, “Lust Horizons: Is the Women's Movement Pro-Sex?” is the origin of the term, “pro-sex feminism”.
Of course, this phenomenon is not exclusive to the USA and Europe. For example, Jewish “women's rights advocate” Beate Sirota Gordon, under Douglas MacArthur, wrote Japan's feminist laws into its post-WWII constitution (some of the most progressive in the world at the time).
This extreme Jewish overrepresentation is not present only in “Second-wave feminism” but it goes way back. Even the first reported “Women's Day event” in 1909 in New York City was organized by the Socialist Party of America at the suggestion of Jewish activist Theresa Malkiel.
Of course, the same thing is true about Third-wave feminism, even the term “Third-wave feminism” was coined by half-Jewish half-African, Rebecca (Walker) Leventhal, daughter of community organizer and lawyer in the 60s–70s Civil Rights Movement, Melvyn R. Leventhal.
The official start of Third-wave feminism was the 1990 publication “Gender Trouble” by Jewish non-binary lesbian Judith Butler. Butler developed the claim that there is no natural sex, compared “trans-exclusionary feminists” to fascists and is also a pioneer in “queer theory”.
The first feminist art program, the first centre of “feminist studies” at a European university, as well as the academic field of “women's history” were founded by Jewish individuals.
Jewish feminists are involved at extreme rates in legislative positions and are disproportionately responsible for implementing feminist laws. Three notable examples are: Bella Abzug, Gloria Allred and Joan Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The person who played the leading role in legalizing contraception and abortion in Europe was the Jewish President of the European Parliament, Simone Veil.
In her book, Professor of American Jewish History, Joyce Antler points out the extreme rates of Jewish participation in the Women's Liberation Movement. Rates so extreme that even Jewish feminist Naomi Weisstein said that “It was embarrassing to have so many Jews around.”
You should ask yourself, why are these people so involved in this movement? What's their goal? I think this quote from famous Jewish feminist Linda Gordon might give you an idea.
