a Goddess creates a Woman, later creates a man so the Woman “isn’t bored”. all humans are referred as the “daughters” of the Goddess. the only male figures in the religion are husbands or fathers of the female prophets; generally males are listed among the properties of a Woman - she has cows, sheep, land and a few husbands. men are advised not only to accept their status, but to take pride in it, since their inferiority is a part of the Goddess’s plan. all religious leaders are female, and they teach Women how to treat their husbands - how to dress them in order to hide their body from Women, how beat them properly.

does this sound like something men could ever accept, believe, promote to each other?

If you make a funny joke around men they have to say “what’s that from??” And I say me, when I said that just now. And they will insist it’s from a tv show and they’ve heard it before and might even start googling to figure out where you got that joke. And the whole time it’s from my big beautiful brain.

Becoming a parent is an ego death for the mother. But not for the father. When a couple has a child, the woman becomes a woman and the man stays a man. In the sense that, the role of being a mother is inescapable. A baby is latched to you 24/7 in a way that isn't the case for the father. Even if you were pumping and so that the father could get up and feed the baby instead, you still are going to have to get up to pump to keep your production. There's nothing that a man can do that the woman doesn't already have to do. Most men continue their extracurricular activities as normal, having days out with the boys meanwhile women find that they can't even take a shower anymore without requiring advanced coordination. I mean heck, the fact that men can have multiple families but a woman never can, speak to this fact.

Prior to this, as just a couple without children - you can have gender equality. So if you don't already have it at that stage, you will definitely never have it when you have children.

But the act of having a child is an inescapable gender inequity. Parenthood can never be 50/50 even with a very involved partner. I think this is a very hard pill to swallow.

Arguments about the inherency of female masochism (typically made in response to statements about male sadism) ignore one crucial thing. Female masochism requires self-report to be established; it’s pretty obviously cope for the reality of the world within which we live. Meanwhile male sadism is often something people bend over backwards to deny. But when you look purely at male behavior, it’s undeniable. Men tend to enjoy domination rituals, and they tend to view women as a convenient demonstration of their dominance.

It reminds me of Peter Levine’s books. He talks about how prey animals react to physical attack they cannot escape by going limp. Essentially, anticipating your assault, and preparing for it, can reduce the damage it will cause. Whether consciously or not, women recognize and brace psychologically for the damage relationships with men are likely to cause

There’s this machine they used to collect semen from livestock. You can’t use it on horses bc they will flip out and kill themselves. But basically it goes on their prostate and administers an electric shock, thus forcing ejaculation. They call it the electroejac. While I don’t condone this from an animal welfare perspective, I do love learning about male sexual exploitation

“Menstruate on it” as a synonym for pondering; sounds familiar enough to “ruminate” to immediately signify the meaning, but with an air of female intuition

[boudicasdaughter]

"I'm going to menstruate on it" is now officially feminist slang for "I'll get back to you within a month"

As a kid, I was accustomed to seeing people posit that women are naturally submissive; secondary; emotional; docile; etc. I grew up tradcath homeschooled, and was rather relieved to leave those circles.

As an adult, I have lately been accustomed to seeing more people posit that women are naturally submissive; secondary; emotional; and docile. Instead of using religious rationale, they cite “ovulation” and “evopsych” and “ testosterone levels.” I am kind of alarmed to see this same sentiment (fetish) — rationalized from a different angle — in secular circles.

It’s curious. You don’t have to encourage a dog to bark. They just do that shit. No matter how much you insist a dog shuts up, short of surgery, they are gonna bark.

If women were naturally submissive; secondary; emotional; docile; and absent the mental clarity of males, society wouldnt need such robust diverse systems insisting on our silence. These systems are massive and well-funded and scrambling really really hard to make their fetishes reality. They are attempting to enable this specific outcome, yet regardless of time, location, and power structure: another persists.

The insistence that female autonomy is not organic convinces me more than ever in the artificiality of male control. Instinct doesn’t discourse; it just does. Only those constructing a hierarchy have to sweat so much over prolonging it.

Certain identifiable experiences increase the likelihood of harm. These include being taken by surprise, trapped, or exposed to the point of exhaustion.

Really gonna need other women to quit with the security theater which isn’t even security theater it’s just them being afraid to go outside and live their lives bc of male violence. THIS IS HOW THEY WIN… they can control us without having to actually act. The thought that they might act keeps us trapped within narrow parameters of conduct and exploration. I’m so tired of seeing the sentiment “wish I was a dude so I could walk outside at night” or “wish men didn’t exist so I could walk around at night.” Esp when you know plenty of those posters live in the suburbs. I think we need to shift from the extreme focus on avoidance strategies — avoidance informs the vast majority of female protective behaviors — and concentrate more on what our response will be when we INEVITABLY experience (attempts at) male violence. The claim that if you stay guarded and careful within narrow parameters, you will avoid male violence, is a lie. So stop functionally believing it lol

Traumatic reactions occur when action is of no avail. When neither resistance nor escape is possible...
