My mother sent me this card she found
I havenât really paid attention before, but have you noticed women are much more common associated with animal names than men are? You can call women chicks, birds, cats, b*ches, cows, pussies, actually, itâs mostly domesticated animals used for pets or resources, which could tell you a lot about what men think of us really. Itâs gross.
The most I hear about men being called animals is when someone says âyou old dogâ fondly. I donât think itâs a coincidence men are almost always associated with human traits and women with animal traits. This isnât normal, itâs not something a human being would do to another human being. I feel more and more like all male-female interactions are interactions of a predator and prey. Weâre not prey though, weâre human. Anyone considering us animals or prey, or calling us that, should be removed from our presence.
âHereâs the twist that emerged. Some young women wanted sexual equity with men: thatâs a claim for equal power. They didnât want to be mere sex objects, they wanted to be active sexual agents. But while true and total sexual equality between men and women is still too threatening, it has nonetheless proved lucrative to flatter women that they have it. So the media began to highlight this message: itâs through sex and sexual display that women really have the power to get what they want. And because the true path to power comes from being an object of desire, girls and women should now actively chooseâeven celebrate and embraceâbeing sex objects. Thatâs the mark of a truly confident, can-do girl: one whose objectification isnât imposed from without, but comes from within. You have to admit, this is a very slick contortion. The best way to gain this kind of power is to cater to what men want. And youâre not acquiescing to men or to patriarchal sexual requirements: by submitting, youâre in the driverâs seat!â

liberals have taken the conservative view of "women are the ones who wash dishes," flipped it to be "the ones who wash dishes are women," and convinced themselves they have solved misogyny
Maturing is realizing that the term "sex work is one of the oldest professions" is actually just trying to justify literal rape and slavery in the name of leftism
The oldest profession is midwifery
the feminist urge to burn everything that has that one playboy symbol.
I wish people would stop confusing self interest in patriarchy with feminist action. A woman with no options marrying a rich man to have a semblance of security is not a feminist action as it does not help to dismantle institutions of male supremacy and does nothing for the next girl with no agency. This is not to condemn women or girls who have been forced into these situations at all. In fact if we call any false empowerment "feminism" we only cement patriarchal power structures.
Stripping isnât âdegradingâ because womenâs bodies are sexual itâs degrading because the sex industry is built on male power. The job exists to service male entitlement: men pay for the illusion of control and access, while women are forced to package their sexuality for survival in a system that denies them safer, equal options.
The performance of being âso hot youâll never get meâ is a shield, not freedom it protects women from violence while still leaving them trapped inside male definitions of worth. Itâs not the dancers who are degraded. Itâs the patriarchal system that demands women sell pieces of themselves for menâs consumption.
It's like okay Serena Joy, you're playing stupid games, wonder what could happen next?
Does anyone know any newish radfem or rad leaning books? Like 2010's to present day.
'Invisible Women' by Caroline Criado Perez is an incredible book that everyone should read, first published 2019, about the way society is built around men in literally every aspect of life
'Pimp State' by Kat Banyard, first published 2016, is an amazing takedown of the six main myths that surround the sex trade
'Firebrand Feminism' by Breanne Fahs, first published 2018, interviews and looks into the lives of prominent Radical feminists Ti-Grace Atkinson, Kathie Sarachild, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and Dana Densmore, as well as discussing the basics and historic origins of radical feminism as a grass roots movement
'Spinning and Weaving : Radical Feminism for the 21st century' edited by Elizabeth Miller, first published 2021, is an anthology of various essays on topics such as porn, intersectional feminism, lesbian feminism, transgender politics and more (some are better than others, it's 600+ pages so I'm making my way through)
'Trans' by Helen Joyce, published 2021 - not so much radical feminism - moreso gender critical, as Joyce herself claims to be 'fiscally conservative' - and a few takes I don't quiet agree with but overall an excellent comprehensive discussion of the current and historical political climate of trans issues
Why Women Are Blamed For Everything by Dr Jessica Taylor, about the psychology of victim blaming. Grim but straightforward reading. Itâs been years since I read it, but also Natasha Walterâs Living Dolls, about the hypersexualisation of young women and return of misogyny as âempowermentâ. Also Testosterone Rex by Cordelia Fine, about the science of sex differences.
âThe Womenâs History of the Modern World: How Radicals, Rebels, and Everywomen Revolutionized the Last 200 Yearsâ by Rosalind Miles (2021)
âPolicing the Womb: Invisible Women and the Criminalization of Motherhoodâ by Michelle Goodwin (2020)
âThe End of Gender: Debunking the Myths about Sex and Identity in Our Societyâ by Dr. Debra W. Soh (2020)
âWitches, Witch Hunting and Womenâ by Silvia Federici (2018)
âButterfly Politicsâ by Catharine Mackinnon (2017)
âPornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexualityâ by Gail Dines (2010)
âThe Industrial Vagina: The Political Economy of the Global Sex Tradeâ (2008), âBeauty and Misogynyâ (2005), âGender Hurts: A Feminist Analysis of the Politics of Transgenderismâ (2014), âUnpacking Queer Politicsâ (2003) by Sheila Jefferys
"The Baby Business: How Money, Science, and Politics Drive the Commerce of Conception" by Debora Spar (2006) is a little older but it's a fascinating critique of surrogacy and the fertility industry as a whole
One I saw going around was about women contributing to the objectification and sexualization of themselves and other women.
It's called; Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and The Rise of Rauch Culture by Ariel Levy.
"Penile Imperialism
The Male Sex Right and Women's Subordination"
by Sheila Jeffreys
Came out last Fall. Amazing book because it covers current topics like consent, the rise of sexual kink, prostitution and transgenderism to name a few. I thought I won't read anything new after I read her book "Beauty and misogyny" (which is a must-read) but it's worth the buy. Clear, concise, critical and informative.

Quotes
"Pornography keeps sexism sexy." âJohn StoltenbergÂ
âMen are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.â â Margaret Atwood
âThe most oppressed man finds a being to oppress, his wife: she is the proletarian of the proletarian.â â Flora TristĂĄn.
"Misandry and misogyny cannot be compared, quite simply because the former exists only in reaction to the latter." âPauline Harmange
So if your boyfriend watches porn that looks like you, you should be flattered because it means he likes you or you're his type,
but if your boyfriend watches incest/rape/bdsm porn and you're upset by that then you shouldn't be because it's just a fantasy and has nothing to do with what he wants or enjoys in real life. and also you should stop being such a fucking prude and quit kinkshaming him. Cool. Am I getting this right
don't you know, real life informs fantasy and fantasy informs real life ONLY if it has a positive connotation for the male user!
In all other cases fantasy and real life are totally separate and you're a ridiculous frigid kinkshaming prude for thinking a man who goons for 6 hours over underage characters would ever actually be into that!!
