Qiu Jin (秋瑾) [1875 - 1907] was a Chinese revolutionary, feminist, and writer who went by the pseudonym “Woman Knight of Mirror Lake” (鑑湖女俠). She was known for her anti-Manchurian ideology, in favor of overthrowing the Qing dynasty and restoring a Han Chinese government. Jin often spoke out for women’s rights, opposing the tradition of foot binding and advocating for freedom of marriage and education. (Fun facts: she also practiced martial arts and notoriously cross-dressed in Western men’s clothing!). Amidst the government crackdown on revolutionaries, Jin was caught before a a scheduled uprising in Anqing and publicly beheaded at the age of 31. She has since been regarded as a national heroine and martyr in China.

This is the only non-malegaze photo I can find of a female historical figure in chinese history *national/cultural heroine? nobody remembers her… beheaded for being anti-monarchy long before the communists

“Woman Knight of Mirror Lake"❤️‍🔥🥰❤️‍🔥

She actually had a sword and she wore it not just for picrew lol

Some of my fav poems written by her:

btw gyns

in ‘feminine’ poses wearing traditional outfits?

bury me with my dead poets they died for nothing if that’s your impression of eastern asian women

put aside the anachronism

some hanfu are less comfortable to wear than they seem

please consider them to be in the same system as closets and foot binding

Is that person actually smart? or do they just make you feel like you were ignorant and now you’re intimidated to ask about your previous assertions? Is that person revealing a whole new realm of discourse you weren’t privy to, or are they reaching for out-of-pocket reasons to critique things? Are you agreeing with them because you know they’re right, or are you agreeing with them because they are confident about their assertions? Does this person have good taste and enjoy mocking things they deem worthless, or are they a cynical ass that knows no joy? Do they actually believe this or are they being contrarian for attention?

The answer varies. Ask these questions to yourself frequently.

For any of my bored feminists out there, I highly recommend taking the Feminist Perspectives Test (link here). Of course, it’s an oversimplification of the many complicated facets of feminism, but I think it highlights how no person fits into just one category. We all draw our opinions from many different places.

I challenge you to get 0% conservatism ;)

[noblepeasant]

Bro, what are some of these questions?

Are these real things that people actually believe? Hell’s bells.

Can we not have a man who is tough and daring AND kind and compassionate?

God wouldn’t be male or female. God is not a sexual creature. It does not have reproductive organs.

libfems: i am nonbinary bc i like dresses AND suits
 radfems: everyone is nonbinary. gender isnt real. sex is real. which is why i use the language of bio-sex to communicate. women are not “feminine ppl.” femininity is an oppressive stereotype. women are females. 
 libfems: ppl are not their genitals !! >:/
 radfems: what you mean to be saying is ppl are not JUSt their genitals: ppl are more than their genitals. which is true. but we did not define what a woman is; womanhood was fated for us when we were born female. our feminism calls other females to defy the woman gender (which is oppressive and wrought w double standards) and live nonconformingly to the end that eventually woman as a gender (and as a socialized lived experience) will no longer exist. (*)
 libfems: i am nonbinary so i already live nonconformingly
 radfems: great ! but consider this: everyone is nonbinary. so instead of opting yourself as an opposition to the binary (whereby creating a new binary), you affirm your lived experience of being gender-socialized, reject the concept of gender, and THEN live nonconformingly. you know, instead of creating a newww gender that accidentally validates gender as a acceptable concept and identity and not the oppressive and shitty and fake thing it is. (*)note: if ‘woman’ gender is successfully deconstructed, then the trans rhetoric of “identifying as a woman” will no longer bear any meaning. this is why radfems sometimes say that trans-ness is misogynistic bc a woman can be absolutely anything or everything so how can someone say they feel specifically like a woman?? / woman is not a feeling. it is a cross. women, ourselves, dont identify womanhood (aka our oppression), so when a male says they identify with womanhood (aka female oppression), it doesnt add up.

I grew up missing something, like a house with no front door and the hole kept growing. Girlhood is anything but sweet. Give me a penny, I’ll thank you. Rape me and I’ll lay still. Don’t you get it yet? Girlhood is anything but sweet. God, here I am with no voice, asking you to take away this evil thing inside of me. Did I suffer exactly as you wanted me to? Do I get to keep all this grief? This is anything but sweet. I was red and raw. He took things you can’t replace. I laid still and thought about when I was 7 and thought I was going to be a princess. Now the princess has PTSD. Now Candy is plan B. Anything but sweet. Girlhood is anything but sweet and I have the scars to prove it. This one, is where he touched me. This one, is where I tried to die afterwards. Girls know suffering more than you, hung on the cross long before you. I step out of my body to grieve and to survive. I burn and I ache. It is a long dark night to be a girl. Girlhood is surviving the unsurvivable. Girlhood is grief. Girlhood is anything but sweet.

“In the 1890s, when Freud was in the dawn of his career, he was struck by how many of his female patients were revealing childhood incest victimization to him. Freud concluded that child sexual abuse was one of the major causes of emotional disturbances in adult women and wrote a brilliant and humane paper called “The Aetiology of Hysteria.” However, rather than receiving acclaim from his colleagues for his ground-breaking insights, Freud met with scorn. He was ridiculed for believing that men of excellent reputation (most of his patients came from upstanding homes) could be perpetrators of incest. Within a few years, Freud buckled under this heavy pressure and recanted his conclusions. In their place he proposed the “Oedipus complex,” which became the foundation of modern psychology. According to this theory any young girl actually desires sexual contact with her father, because she wants to compete with her mother to be the most special person in his life. Freud used this construct to conclude that the episodes of incestuous abuse his clients had revealed to him had never taken place; they were simply fantasies of events the women had wished for when they were children and that the women had come to believe were real. This construct started a hundred-year history in the mental health field of blaming victims for the abuse perpetrated on them and outright discrediting of women’s and children’s reports of mistreatment by men.”

LOTS of feminist documentaries on Netflix right now! Here’s the list

And these are just the documentaries - feature film Suffragette has also recently been added!

1. She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry (2014) (Available worldwide)

“Such a compelling introduction to the women’s movement throughout the 1960s and 1970s. It touches on topics beyond gender inequality like racism, classism, and homophobia (both in the country and within women’s organisations), along with confronting powerful topics through personal interviews.”

2. The Hunting Ground (2015) (Available worldwide)

“It’s absolutely amazing and eye-opening for all college students and non-college students. If you were angered by the Brock Turner case, you’re going to experience a whole new kind of anger with this documentary.”

3. Miss Representation (2011) (Available in US, UK, Canada, more)

“Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, Condoleeza Rice, Gloria Steinem and others discuss sexism in American society and the media. ”

4. Girl Rising (2013) (Available in US, UK, Canada, Australia more)

“It is heartbreaking then empowering, and it shows the power girls have that so often goes unnoticed.”

5. Maidentrip (2013)  (Available in US, UK, Australia more)

“It follows a girl who became the youngest person ever to sail ALONE around the world. I’m pretty sure she was 14 or 15! It’s awesome because she films almost everything herself.”

6. Whores’ Glory (2011) (Available in US)

“Follows girls in Thailand, Bangladesh, and Mexico. The differences between the ones that seem to enjoy their job, to the depressing state of poverty and those having prostitution as their only means of income, to the more stereotypical view of drugs and sex. The entire film is captivating and opens your mind to new ways of viewing prostitution.”

7. Pink Ribbons, Inc. (2011) (Available in Canada)

“A film about how companies utilise the pink ribbon campaigns to ‘find a cure’ for breast cancer to increase sales and improve their image, but hardly any of the money goes to the cause. It’s so interesting and important, given the seriousness of the topic and how it affects women.”

8. Hot Girls Wanted (2015) (Available worldwide)

“Filmmakers Jill Bauer and Ronna Gradus shed light on Florida’s amateur porn industry through the experiences of five young women in the business.”

Update: A reader wrote in to say that Hot Girls Wanted has a major TW for rape.

The Hunting Ground is specifically about campus rape and rape culture, so that should also be considered TW for rape.
