From MIM Notes # 178 January 15, 1999
AMERIKAN WIMMIN BOMB IRAQ

Score one imperialist pseudo-feminist point for 
Amerikan wimmin in Operation Desert Fox. Aboard the 
USS Enterprise (yes, thatâs the real name of the 
aircraft carrier) several female pilots were the first 
to drop bombs in combat during this latest attack on 
Iraq.

This is the kind of "progress" that pseudo-feminists 
across the U.$. fight for:  The right of wimmin to 
participate actively in the mass destruction of 
nations that refuse to bow to every demand of the U.$. 
government. In fact, many pseudo-feminists are upset 
that wimmin still are not allowed to participate in 
ground combat. These people believe that it is only by 
fully participating in imperialist domination and 
murder can wimmin achieve equality to men.

MIM has an alternative. We fight for wimminâs equality 
through their full participation in the revolution to 
overthrow imperialism and end class, nation and gender 
oppression. We do not want full equality with men on 
the level of equal rights to oppress and exploit the 
majority of the worldâs people. We demand the right of 
all wimmin around the world to be free of imperialist 
domination. Only by recognizing the principal enemy, 
imperialism, can we take on the battle against gender 
oppression on the side of the oppressed.
