I’m happy to see a real feminist

I personally loath gender feminism because all it achieved was to enslave the women along with the men (to pay more taxes). And the state wins again because it has even more opportunity to indoctrinate children.

Not by American residential toilets, limited by law to 1.2 gallons per flush–hardly enough to dispose of the urine much less the other stuff. But enough of this potty talk. I’ve appreciated articles I read by Wendy McElroy’. What course(s) does she teach for Mises Academy?

Goodun Newson. My mother-in-law, a Brit and a bit of a snob, would say that it is the common people or commoners who leave it up.

Michael-

Personally I always cover the toilet entirely before i flush due to nasty particles being sprayed into the air if you don’t.

I’m convinced that’s a myth–I know plenty of women who leave the toilet seat up, and conversely, men who leave the seat down. So it’s either a myth or I know way too many uncommon people.

I am a part time student and work full time, but I read Mises Institute posts on facebook in hopes of being introduced to new libertarian offshoots. Could I ask you to better define individual feminism for me or direct me to a place or article that can? My mother spoke of being a feminist until she became exposed to the “Gender Feminism” you mentioned, and all she wanted was equal pay.

One question I have for feminists is, How would a “matriarchy” really be any different from a “patriarchy”? Another question I have is, which left-wing historians is she talking about?
