We know that leaning in won't make our jobs any more tolerable and that white women have proven to be, at best, unreliable allies. But in a time of rising fascism, ceaseless attacks on reproductive justice, and violent transphobia, we need to reckon with what Western feminism has wrought if we have any hope of building the feminist world we need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSophie Lewis offers an unflinching tour of enemy feminisms, from 19th century imperial feminists and police officers to 20th century KKK feminists and pornophobes to today's anti-abortion and TERF feminists. Enemy feminisms exist. Feminism is not an inherent political good. Only when we acknowledge that can we finally reckon with the ways these feminisms have pushed us toward counterproductive and even violent ends. And only then can we finally engage in feminist strategising that is truly antifascist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt once a left transfeminist battlecry against cisness, a decolonial takedown of nationalist womanhoods, and a sex-radical retort to femmephobia in all its guises, \u003ci\u003eEnemy Feminisms\u003c\/i\u003e is above all a fierce, brilliant love letter to feminism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Touring different feminisms over time like those that are steeped in transphobia and anti-sex sentiment, Lewis asserts that not all feminism is net good, and we need to watch out for the types that are counterproductive at best, violent and hateful at worst.'
