You really are right about radblr (and radblr orbiters/adjacents, before anyone gets mad) not being able to read. I’m gonna add in: they’re not able to remember their own arguments or apply their own logic across the board. They pick and choose who and where they want to apply it to, just like gendies (and everyone else for that matter).
Either people can be privileged and marginalized along the same class lines simultaneously or they can’t. Either a woman’s sexual behavior gains her meaningful social power or it doesn’t. Either a woman’s value is determined by her proximity to men or it’s not.* The radblr+ community wanting to have it both ways depending on the class of women or individual woman they’re talking about in any particular moment shows me their critical thinking skills aren’t too hot either. They’re more interested in winning arguments than being ideologically consistent.
*Not an exhaustive list of examples.

#this is such a great comment and i don't want to ruin it - i totally agree!#the inconsistency really captures the problem with the axis of oppression/identity politics framework#the axis offers a simple way of broadly understanding class dynamics (which social prejudices exist?)#but it can't really be used to understand the nuances of any given situation (how do people navigate social prejudice?)#(and i'm not taking a gendie approach and saying we should ditch class analysis entirely - i just think there are nuances)#(i think the axis works best for things immediately obvious like one's sex race disability and class)#anon#radblr
