"Thanks Phyllis, for this piece which brings us all up to date on the Denial, Projection, and Perennial-Jew-Hatred which now replaces feminism while still ornamenting itself with that honorable name. Gratitude is warranted for warriors like Alice Schwarzer & you for keeping the substance of feminism alive & recognizable.
Another reader emailed me this heartening response:
"But, Phyllis, though the loss of old friends is sad, even if unavoidable, you have new(er) friends who love and admire you, and cherish your writing. I hope that provides some solace."
I'm fed up with the word "feminist" being hijacked and abused by faux-feminists and used as a slur by the other side for any female with a thought they don't like. There are many real feminists going about our work and daily life, and I believe it's time to start an organization that brings us together to counteract the blame laid on feminists for the swill coming from queer theorists and other misogynists. The list of feminist leaders is long, as is the list of us feminists in the background, but we're all working separately and we would be more effective, imo, if there was some teamwork across the globe.
Agreed. The Code Pink types are not feminists; they stand with third world men who abuse women. As is typical with marxists, they give themselves labels which are the exact opposite of what they truly represent. "Peace" activists when they are actually for war. "Human rights" while they support oppression, "justice" while they actually support injustice, "anti-racism" when they support anti-white and antisemitic racism and on and on. These faux feminists are in reality misogynists themselves who denied the October 7 rapes and stand with the most brutal misogynists on earth, which are the islamic jihadist terrorists who enforce sharia law and treat women in the most savage way.
Feminism went off the rails years ago when the radical lesbians took over. Evans and Benjamin have billionaire husbands and this is what their money funds.
Here is another comment from email:
"I guess the question is: why do all public Islamic feminists live in non-Islamic countries?
Also: did you see that there is now a pro-Zionist LGBTQ+ group that is opposing that anti-Zionist/semitic mayoral candidate in nyc?
Tiny slice of hope?"

"Carissima Felicia (Italian for Phyllis),
Your foto is "favolosa"!"
Here is a comment a subscribed sent me over email:
"THANK YOU PHYLLIS, FOR CORRECTING THE PSEUDO HISTORY AND FRAUD OF SO CALLED FEMINISTS.
Medea (certainly an appropriate name, no?)Benjamin is a pathetic little nobody who makes a lot of noise but no sense.
She represents the addled moral thinking of pseudo fems, anti Semites and those who think that the Muslim and radical left
are the solution to the world’s problems, when they are in fact the cause of them. She and Greta Thunberg should enjoy
each other’s company; the rest of us rightfully shun them as delusionary …at best."

Completely agree.
Dearest Phyllis,
I support EVERY word of this article! Keep up your fight for all of us. So happy you had a good visit with other like-minded TRUE feminists.
