Feminism in general falls under the 'Horrible Movement' category because it doesn't actually seek anything other than the promotion of bourgeois women into positions and power and breaking the 'glass ceiling' in the halls of power of the bourgeois state and capitalist corporation. Contrary to claims by feminists that feminism is about the equality of the sexes, or women's liberation, or what have you, it has always served this base class role as a way for petty bourgeois and bourgeois women to advance their own interests while projecting a class collaborationist program that places sex at the center of the social struggle rather than class.

That said, I obviously am in favor of actual women's liberation and equality of the sexes, but these can only be achieved in the struggle for and ultimate achievement of a socialist society. So long as women are subjected to unpaid labor within the home, unequal pay at work, and the worst kind of slavery within the traditional family unit, they will not be free, no matter how many of them end up as the heads of capitalist government or CEOs. The working women of the world have far more in common with their lovers, brothers, and fathers than they do their 'sisters' at the top of the economic pyramid, and the realization of this, and only this, will propel the struggle to free women from domestic slavery and inequality forward and onward to victory. At every step of the way male chauvinism must be combated and exposed for what it is: a stumbling block to proletarian victory over the class enemy. Women should be encouraged to develop themselves as leaders in the struggle for the emancipation of the working class and should play a key role in running the future society that emerges from the overthrow of capitalist exploitation and oppression.

At that point, we will of course be able to socialize domestic labor by communal living arrangements, socialized laundromats and daycares, etc, etc. Straight-jacket monogamous families will wither away as they are replaced by voluntary associations unencumbered by economic coercion and want, and women will finally achieve full equality with men and their own liberation as a group, at which point the concepts of 'man' and 'woman' will themselves probably vanish, as there will be no reason to continue to define us by the roles that were assigned to us by the oppressive and exploitative old class societies.

Sounds like when Hillary broke the glass ceiling by joining the union busting Walmart board of directors.

Precisely.
