Ending footbindings? Who cares. He cracked an off color joke that may have actually been a dig at Kissinger.

Definitely reads as a dig at Kissinger, the kind of dig you make when a person’s sexual escapades are an open “secret”. Gossip gets around.

The “they will create disasters” part is definitely boomer “hurr hurr wahmens” though, common attitudes and jokes of the 50s that were simply not examined for being the problems that they were. Doesn’t take away from the fact he was progressive on their liberation, progressive on their inclusion in the workforce equally, etc etc. Well ahead of capitalists of his time just as we today are well ahead of capitalists of our time but very likely not without our issues or blindspots that future leftists will criticise.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
