Description

What would happen if you could end sexism overnight by giving everyone a magic pink pill?





Why we need to target material and practical conditions if we want to eliminate cultural hierarchies.





A thought experiment about political strategy which lays bare the whole class reductionism vs. race reductionism debate, and which is crucial for any kind of effective political strategy on any issue.





Backed up by a real “pink pill” example of how post-revolutionary rural China totally failed at fighting patriarchy and male baby preference via education and propaganda campaigns.
