    I’m not under the illusion that they’re leftists, I’m just saying that they’re not the same strain of thought as the usual suspects. Removed of context, their statements sound like they could’ve been issued from the CPC it’s kinda surreal. I wouldn’t’ve expected that kinda rhetoric to be effective in the freeze peach personal liberty hustle culture US

      They’re not just not leftists, they’re an unhinged, utterly dishonest stalking horse for extreme right-wing Christian organisations, who are working to set back actual feminist causes back decades. They’re the exact same kind of ‘feminist’ lobby group as all those fake-feminist & LGBnoTQ+ orgs that have been pushing transpobia & radicalising white women into neo-Nazism. In fact, several of their leadership literally share a publisher of Christian fascist propaganda that directly targets LGBTQ+ folks and other minorities. Likewise, several members have a long history of racist campaigning and their most prominent government ally is a corrupt MP who is avowedly anti-LGTBQ+ and oversaw Austrailia’s fascist border & immigration policy.

      if you know their true nature, why did you call them feminists in your original comment? you are carrying water for them, which you should not do. your taking of their progressive guise at face value at best implies a credulity or naivete, or worse, something much more sinister about you.
