Feminism's Early Fruit

So many announce how pure and right feminism began only recently reverting to its less appealing radical image. Well, here is a quote from Mina Loy's Feminist Manifesto (1914). (Nota bene: this date's closeness to the other infamous ideology of the time which relied on  'class division' as its modus operandi. One can readily see how easy it was to apply this to  'gender'. )

 "Men & women are enemies, with the enmity of the exploited for the parasite, the parasite for the exploited—at present they re at the mercy of the advantage that each can take the others sexual dependence—-. The only point at which the interests of the sexes merge—is the sexual embrace."

(May I add, how romantic!)
