I think that many of us who might react negatively to feminism are not doing so out of brocialism/sexism, but rather other of a narrow perspect on feminism. I held that narrow perspective for quite a while, owing in large part to my isolation from other comrades and therein having no one to challenge my position.

Until recently, when I returned to /r/Socialism and had those positions challenged, I was locked into a reactionary's discourse on feminism. My only conception of feminism was of identity politics and bourgeois feminism - despite my being wholly aware of feminist and women's movements that did not include these political failings. I was only able to view feminism as bourgeois feminism, in other words. And because of that my position was that it ran counter to socialism.

I doubt I was alone in that conclusion. What really changed my perspective was being challenged by people on this subreddit. Some provided resources, others criticised me thoroughly (at times very sharply). And in many ways this forced me to question my position and start taking on board the counter argument. There was also the realisation that trapped in the understanding I had, I was in essence assisting the reactionaries in their crusade against the left.

My point, really, is to say that it would be folly of ours to make the assumption that all who oppose feminism are backward or easily dismissed as 'brocialists.' The case needs to be made, one that distinguishes working class feminism from bourgeois feminism, one that illustrates why socialists must defend feminists, and why - to quote a certain moderator - "all socialists are feminists," just as it was put to me.
