Sure Finland's female-led coalition party is not feminists according to YOU https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-55020994

So pro-left they are & yet so pro-war, TERFs are a thing too & guess what ? The feminists do not oppose the draft. (Finland has a male-only draft & wants to join NATO which totally a defensive alliance)

"2Sure Finland's female-led coalition party is not feminists according to YOU https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-55020994"

If you see feminism as every time there are women in government, why do you oppose feminism?

"So pro-left they are & yet so pro-war"

They're a right-wing austerity government but I'll bite, which war are you talking about?

"TERFs are a thing too"

Sure, I never said all feminists are left-wing. There are reactionary strands of feminism (if we accept that they are indeed feminists) such TERFs for example. My point is that feminism is not a monolith and the bulk of it is left-wing.

"The feminists do not oppose the draft."

Correction: A country right next to an expansionist dictatorship does not oppose the draft. I'll probably get shouted at buy when you are right next to a country like Russia, the draft is a necessary evil.

"(Finland has a male-only draft & wants to join NATO which totally a defensive alliance)"

Perhaps the draft should be extended to women. In any case, irrelevant to your "point" about feminism.
