Good question! Psyop stands for psychological operation and it is something the CIA does. Here's the Wikipedia article explaining what it is in more depth.
Now you might think, how is that relevant to feminism or your own life?
Well, the CIA doesn't just do psyops in other countries, they do them here in the USA as well.
Post modernism, which is the whole idea that everyone has such a unique experience you can't group people together in a class consciousness, was created by this guy, Foucault. He was a pedo who promoted the idea that not only is gender a social construct, but so is age, and morality. And the CIA loved his ideas!
Because back in the 60s and 70s, you had this big Civil Rights movement where people were gaining class consciousness and forming solidarity movements based on material conditions and Marxist analysis. Radical feminism came from this!
Radical feminist ideas were promoted in universities back then. Mary Daly taught at Boston College, Dworkin's work was being read in women's studies classes. Feminists at the time were growing out their leg hair and burning bras. They called feminists "women's libbers" because everyone knew the goal of feminism was liberation from patriarchy, not a watered down "equality."
Now, of course, this is BAD for the people in power. How could they stop this?
So the CIA promoted Foucault's post modernist ideals of individuals over the collective in universities.
They did this with the express purpose of dividing the left wing and killing class consciousness. They did it to kill solidarity, kill unity, the thing that really threatens the order of the world.
Marx, Lenin, they all said that there can be no revolution without women. Women are 50% of the population and our oppression is the oldest. Q Theory was born from post modernism, relies on it. The trans movement is a direct product of that.
