As a radical feminist, of course I believe that prostitution is inherently harmful—not just directly to the women involved, but to women as a class more generally. But humour me for a bit, I want to explore another side of the “it’s just a job, like any other job” claim from a slightly different angle.
Lefty dudes, MOC dudes, disabled dudes (apparently) all need their ‘whores’. Never mind that it is the exploitation and violation of women’s HUMAN rights, not to have to have dick stuck into them in order to survive. Modern ‘discourse’ indicates that this is all their own free and estatic choice, free of constraints such as … Continue reading
The recent demonstration against femicide by Femen at the Montparnasse cemetery in Paris (2019), which for the mainstream caused ‘shock’, but within certain sectors of the feminist community elicited cries of “powerful” etc.
I have battle fatigue. After decades of fighting for women’s liberation, we show every sign of going backwards (in feminist analysis/practice at least). Things that I thought were sorted (as far as feminist theory goes) are re-written into bullshit. Radical feminism—’Radical’ meaning going to the root of the problem. The problem, effectively gets defined as … Continue reading
Not often do I ‘go off’ at (het) women, but the one time that I do, is their insistence that everything be either male/M2T ‘inclusive’. They need to wake up and smell the patriarchy on this one. This post is really a follow-on after reading Meghan Murphy’s post on “27 years after the Montreal Massacre, … Continue reading
International Women’s Day each year is a bit like Groundhog Day for me. I poke my nose out of my burrow, then go back in, after seeing that 51% of the population are expected to be happy with some tokenism, and just to stfu until next year when the mainstream will pretend to care again. … Continue reading
White Ribbon Australia is currently making ‘news’ for all the wrong reasons. First to come to my attention was Clementine Ford’s most brilliant, and word perfect article in Daily Life, titled “White Ribbon Ambassador Tanveer Ahmed’s dangerous message on domestic violence“, in which she expertly exposes Ahmed’s ’emasculation’ and ‘disenfranchisement’ excuses (for male violence) as … Continue reading
On a daily basis I encounter online a general cluelessness as to what Feminism is all about, primarily from younger women who call themselves feminists. The daily onslaught of misinformation includes “but men are victims too”, “what about the men?”, “that statement is anti-male”, etc. Feminism—it’s NOT about men! The clue is in what feminism … Continue reading
Note: I wrote this post on 28 June, and held off publishing to think about it. I still have not gotten some of the screenshots yet. Self-defined feminists are still the minority of women, radical feminists make up an even smaller minority of that minority. We do not give men ‘the benefit of the doubt’ … Continue reading
Firstly, what feminism is: Feminism is a political movement for the emancipation and liberation for all females, regardless of race, class, sexual orientation, reproductive status, disability status, etc. Secondly, what feminism is not: Feminism is not a catch-all social justice movement (although sometimes areas that affect women do become highlighted). Feminism is not a social … Continue reading
