The U.S. only ever led on “elite feminism”

elitist, controlling anti-woman American women will be the death of any small prior progress in gender equity

Women need to stop with the required solidarity or forced support of fellow women who harm

Actions matter, not anatomy

The maternal mortality rate, especially for Black women is appalling. Has American feminism ever concerned itself with deaths of fellow women? No. Count number of women in C-suite (who align with anti-justice incentives) and fight for privileged access of a few. Trickle down.

Even as a nation of elitist feminism, have these women, mostly wives of or daughters of, become President? No. That would require a woman having value or respected as an individual, as opposed to American culture of women valued or gaining access for their relationships to men.

There are women’s conferences with glossy brochures & exotic retreats. Do they talk about this? No. That would require a conversation on justice and centering Black women, rather than being self-centered, as much of American feminism is.

Elitist women always have & continue to harm fellow women as well as non-elite men, yet the presence of a woman is used to ✅ a #DEI box even when the woman is engaging in all the usual exploitation for fast profit & shareholder value, violating ethics. vanityfair.com/news/2018/11/s…

Heiress, or daughter of a wealthy man, with passively acquired wealth, helped to bankroll the agenda that will destroy the small progress made on women’s rights in the U.S. Women are not automatic allies of women, especially those never having to work.

Dr. Birx is known for her Hermès & other scarves that cost what some woken might take weeks to months to earn or save. What results did she deliver & by what method? She dissembled, distracted, denied & contributed to death of almost 800K Americans.

Here she is ridiculing DNR.

As a physician & a daughter of a COVID “statistic” that Birx had zero care or value for, I will never forgive Birx using her physician credentials to mock those asking about #DNR in a #pandemic all while in #NYC bodies were being loaded into trucks. nypost.com/2020/03/30/dis…

I have no use for trash (elite) feminism that is barely veiled women of KKK still, that engages in active or passive eugenics vs women of color & POC, disabled, elderly, unhoused/homeless, immunocompromised, etc while cloaked in false piety & “empowerment” daily.jstor.org/a-brief-histor…

Birx is part of the same religious nationalism that Barrett is, which does not take any personal responsibility for any outcomes, instead attributes their own actions’ results to God & a divine plan. Instead gets public office, harms.

Yet per feminist code & club membership, after a woman in leadership causes harm, like contributing to >700K American deaths…

…blame men like this OpEd in defense of Birx

As if a woman who negotiated with African dictators is this weak, scared, powerless & impaired.

Having expertise in #globalhealth, I recognize this type of management

Leaders who assess power & hierarchy & personal advancement then treat people accordingly - that mindset will always deliver harm & death to those assessed not worth saving, then attribute to God.

Birx is especially relevant - same mindset & background & religion-driven agenda as Barrett, latter installed to dismantle Roe v Wade. For her “success” at managing optics & narrative & applying her credentials for justifying/downplaying death, Birx was rewarded plum private job

These elite feminism women are not leaders, but willing pawns in others’ chess games, handmaidens of dystopia, seeking own security & advancement, willing to harm others then attribute it to divine will.

Compare to women, with courage to stand alone, true leaders on justice.
