Dyke arm wrestling, Leeds, May 2026
butch philosophy
[/ID: A sepia toned cartoonish drawing of a white butch woman. She is lying on her back, her cheek propped up on one fist. One knee is bent and the other semi tucked under her. Her free hand rests on the bent knee. She is wearing briefs, a sports bra, and shin length socks. Her limbs are hairy, as are her armpits. Pubic hair is visible along the crotch of her underwear. Her hair is buzzed and brown. She is smiling or smirking, with a text bubble that reads, “The only thing a woman should shave is her head”. The woman is drawn on a dusky red background, and there is an artist’s signature in the bottom right corner. The name is indecipherable but the date of 2022 is legible. /End ID]

and tras have the nerve to call us the racist ones ☠️☠️
it's very interesting how people in the replies are saying she's "strawmanning" or "ew terf content!" but have nothing to say about the racism in the pictures shown from people in their community. You people are hilarious.

In light of Yes, Virginia being re-covered by Amanda Palmer here is a reminder to not stream her music. She makes her music (and therefore profit) off of the pain of rape victims while having directly supplied young girls to her rapist piece of shit husband Niel Gaiman. She knew exactly what he was doing and did nothing to prevent neither the events themselves OR their son from witnessing them.
There are so many female punk/cabaret artists that talk about similar topics. I know the dark cabaret scene seems desolate but it isn't. Look for new music, don't stream Amanda Palmer or the Dresden Dolls or Evelyn Evelyn.
Download, don't stream. Find more music.
these are more insulting that what you find on incel forums
Shit devised by individuals with scrotal anatomy and intellect. The testicled need to go out and touch some grass and then come back inside and guzzle some bleach. I'm sure med students will have some use for bodies with penises to do experiments on.
pessimistic about patriarchy? downcast about discourse? miserable about misogyny?

Women, Magic, Power: radfem perspective movie cross-analysis 🧙♀️
pt. 1/3: The Craft
magic, in The Craft's universe, is sourced from a multifaceted male nature deity known as Manon, who has the ability to 'fill' witches with his power once invoked. his magic follows a karmic justice system, described below. this system is said to represent the value of the universe as a whole - a 'spiritual truth'. the establishment of this rule, for a time, appears to serve a very clear narrative purpose: to ensure that high school witches Sarah, Nancy, Rochelle and Bonnie only use their powers to deliver clean, Manon-approved cosmic justice. henceforth, justice appears to become the movie's central theme - or at least, a version of it that favours the status quo. after all, we can't have a tale about women using magic to balance the scales against the forces of misogyny, racism, beauty culture & domestic violence without shoehorning in a moral fable about how one shouldn't try to balance the scales too far.
but as the narrative unfolds, it turns out that this justice system is, true to life, remarkably hypocritical and rigged. each of the witches encounter an unforeseen consequence for their magic self-empowerment spells, representative of an undesirable 'extreme' that transcends simple justice and warps into petty or violent revenge. the keyword here is 'unforeseen' - none of the outcomes were necessarily desired as part of the girls' initial magic intentions, and yet they are still punished according to the standards of the 'threefold return'. what's more, even when multiple members of the coven take notice of these undesirable extremities and begin to object to them, the writers interestingly elect to deprive any of them of any opportunity to correct their actions (either individually or collectively) or evade their impending punishments.
we see this in Sarah, who is sexually humiliated by school asshole Chris as revenge for rejecting his advances. she uses her powers to cast a love spell on him, making him just as obsessed with her as he spitefully accused her of being. as an unforeseen consequence, he loses any conscious autonomy and begins mindlessly stalking her. she doesn't know how (and ultimately cannot) retract the spell - she is told by her guide figure Lirio that she must let it "run its course", which is astoundingly unhelpful in helping her combat the intensifying harassment crusade. so Sarah tries talking Chris out of it, prompting him to realize his feelings aren't real - an earnest effort to self-correct - which is magically rewarded by... magic-drunk Chris attempting to rape her. according to Manon's code of ethics, the message Sarah should be receiving here is something like: "thou shalt not take revenge on your sexual violator, or thou shalt be sexually violated threefold." this is why we don't trust male gods.
Rochelle is yet another Black girl who needs a narrative to teach her not to take petty revenge on her bully & oppressor Laura (or become 'just as bad' as her in the process), yet she is punished even after she expresses a) pre-emptive concern for Laura, b) self-awareness about this risk, and c) horrified guilt at the unforeseen consequence of Laura's immense suffering. this seed of a growth arc is strangely set up, disrupted and promptly abandoned. burn-survivor Bonnie, meanwhile, is taught not to strive for social acceptance through physical beauty, or she'll become a narcissistic whore. (movie's words, not mine.) and Nancy, having escaped both poverty and her stepfather Ray's physical/sexual abuse by killing him & inheriting his life insurance, is punished with complete & utter moral condemnation: she 'corrupts' her magic with dark intentions and becomes mad with power, turning on & attacking her friends. "thou shalt not use violence to transcend your abuse, or thou shalt become an irredeemable megalomaniac and be banished to the psych ward."
but the thing about Nancy is that she had no original sin that would have made this outcome predictable. her uniquely scarring upbringing is perhaps the only clue the movie gives us as to why it is her who has the 'bad heart', her who is elected to transform into the movie's honourary crazy bitch villain, when up until about the halfway point she was depicted as the most vulnerable, endangered & tragic girl of the group. this writing choice (and it is a choice) implies a direct correlation between extreme trauma from male violence, and hysterical, bloodthirsty female insanity. the abuse she faced was her crime, her death sentence - her harrowing fate feels almost inevitable. that's just what she gets for trying to resolve her daddy issues by substituting with a supernatural entity, I suppose. because of Nancy, the coven is shattered, the 30-or-so minutes we spent in blissful female solidarity are thoroughly tarnished, and we leave it up to virtuous, pacifistic Sarah - Manon-approved good witch of the bunch - to deliver the final blows to any lingering sympathy or hope we're supposed to feel for Nancy.
the hypocrisy of the magic justice system becomes apparent when you observe whom it punishes, and whom it absolves: Chris & Ray are technically 'punished' with death, but not in a way that the movie deems proportionate to their moral crimes. nor is the movie particularly interested in speculating about how they might have alternatively been punished, so one can assume it doesn't care. Sarah, our viewer stand-in, mourns & opposes their deaths from a state of guilty responsibility, partially absolving Chris' moral virtue in the process. maintaining the double standard, Nancy is understood to be dangerous & predatory when she sexually violates Chris by deception, but the writers give Chris the moral 'out' for his attempted rape of Sarah via him having been under a spell when it happened. (the writers need you to understand: he was secretly a good guy!) and humbled Laura, made pitiable through her angst, seemingly attempts to reconcile with Rochelle during one brief & incomplete scene, but is never explicitly forced to confront the degree of harm wrought by her racism, eventually disappearing from the movie altogether (while Rochelle's redeemability rots into oblivion).
'morally neutral' Manon appears to have a bit of a 'rules for thee, but not for me' agenda at play here - for if the 'spiritual truth' of the 'self-moderating universe' were truly that every wrongdoing should be punished threefold, why, then, were these cruel, abusive characters not punished before the witches' attempted magic revenge? why aren't they the ones being taught the whole "do unto others" spiel? and why, even when said revenge was more extreme than intended, did the universe deem it 'unjust'? Sarah humiliated Chris because Chris humiliated Sarah - so surely it is Sarah who delivered the cosmic justice, who hit the 'threefold' punishment ball back into his court when he was the first to bat. sure, magic might balance or even tilt the power dynamics at play, but do the writers deem it more powerful, dangerous & disbalanced than systematic oppression itself? and if so, what does that suggest in a movie where magic is depicted as an explicit vehicle for women's empowerment through togetherness? if the point is that they were foolish, power-hungry & reckless for resorting to amateur magic in the first place, why the hesitation to make it a movie about them learning from their mistakes? why is Sarah the only character to be afforded this grace, and only after being put through the karmic wringer? and why make a movie about sad angry witches at all if the concept clearly confounds & offends you so much?
The Craft is not a conflict between woman & world. it is a conflict between woman & woman. when it became apparent that Nancy was the 'bad witch', and not the downtrodden, battered, unloved girl I saw in her, I naïvely held out hope that at the very least Sarah, Rochelle & Bonnie would get to preserve their bond by teaming up to dethrone & defeat her. but instead, it's the same old story of 'girl betrays girl' - with an insidious undertone of 'girl submits to male authority'. do co-creators Andrew Fleming & Peter Filardi think that women are simply too weak, too petty, too vain or perhaps too batshit insane to ever be trusted with the power to liberate themselves? or are these men too afraid of women's power, too frightened & disturbed by the image of the witch, that the only way they can conceive of magic existing in fiction is as a tool that is automatically 'unjust' when used by women against their oppressors, and only ever 'just' when used by women against fellow women? is 'justice' a concept too divine & transcendent to ever be placed in women's dirty evil hands, and are we eternally obliged to 'surrender ourselves to the higher power' in the name of righteousness?

Female x Male = Hetero relationship. It doesn't matter how different and unconventional you think your relationship is from most hetero couples. It's primarily women I see insisting their hetero relationship is not like the others and is "queer" because it's not blatantly based on Christian tradcon values.
And yeah I get that bi people don't stop being bi when they're in a relationship with the opposite sex. But a female person dating a male person still makes the relationship itself hetero.
