Communism and feminism have some goals in common.
The building of socialism will begin only when we have achieved the complete equality of women. - V.I. Lenin, The Task of the Working Women's Movement in the Soviet Republic, 1919. [1]
It should be noted at the outset that since feminism is based on a fallacy, i.e., that there are no sex differences, feminism is inextricably linked with socialism. [1]
When the president of Harvard University dared to question the politically correct idea that woman and man are inherently equal, suggesting that the question be studied scientifically, he was roundly attacked in the media and academia.
- Boston Globe: The president of Harvard University, Lawrence H. Summers, sparked an uproar at an academic conference Friday when he said that innate differences between men and women might be one reason fewer women succeed in science and math careers. Summers also questioned how much of a role discrimination plays in the dearth of female professors in science and engineering at elite universities. [2]
