no Male Author Moment has ever made me cringe quite as viscerally as the ending of Grapes of Wrath and that was a full decade before I found out about this
Sanora Babb’s own novel, Whose Names Are Unknown, was buried by the publisher after Grapes was published. It was eventually released in 2004, a year before her death.
Whose Names Are Unknown - Wikipedia
You can buy the book from BetterWorldBooks (with free shipping) here.
this is one of the best books i have ever read. so fucking inspiring. cannot recommend it strongly enough. trust me. this book is so fucking relevant. god. please read this book
"The housewife is a nobody," says Philip Slater, and almost everyone agrees. Her work is menial labor. Even more status-degrading is the unpaid nature of her job. Few deny the economic as well as the sociological importance of housework and homemaking. Housework is part of the great infrastructure on which, as David Riesman has reminded us, the entire superstructure of the economy and the government rests. If women did not supply the services of taking care of the living arrangements of workers, industry would have to do so, as in the case of lumber camps, ships, and the military. But housewives are not in the labor force. They are not paid for the services that they perform.
The low status of the wife's work has ramifications all through her marriage. Since her husband's work is not only higher in status but usually competitive, as hers is not, and he has to meet certain clothing and grooming standards or lose his job, his needs have to be catered to. If there has to be a choice, his new suit is more important than hers. This, quite apart from whatever personal or institutional prestige his work confers, tends to put him in a position of status superiority to the wife.
Housework is a dead-end job; there is no chance of promotion. One cannot grow in it. There is a saying that passes as wit to the effect that Washington is full of talented men and the women they married when they were young. The couple who began their marriage at the same stages of their development find themselves far apart in later years. "Persons who took the initiative in seeking divorce," Nelson Foote has noted, "in explaining their experience, and likewise observers of broken marriages, speak frequently of a mate's having outgrown the other. It is the husband who usually outgrows the wife." Not only does the wife not grow, but the nonspecialized and detailed nature of housework may actually have a deteriorating effect on her mind, as Mary Roberts Coolidge observed long ago, rendering her incapable of prolonged concentration on any single task. No wonder that after hours of passive, often solitary, absorption in television and radio soap operas, she comes to seem dumb as well as dull.

“Men aren’t doing well in school”
Yeah that’s because school is about discipline, obedience, following instructions and careful time management.
Women outperforming men in school is not even a flex for us because the skills need to succeed at school and the skills needed to succeed at work are polar opposites. Business culture is very male.
At work how you succeed is by avoiding doing grunt work but taking as much credit for successful projects as possible. It’s a political game. You succeed by being hyper visible, known and well liked. “Leadership” -yeah that’s telling other people what to do and having them like/respect you enough to follow orders. Guess who spent their whole lives preparing for that?
Female A+ students get creamed at work. Women fall into a pattern where they find themselves stuck doing grunt work while their male colleagues goof off and spend most of their time building rapport with everyone in the office. It might seem like they’re not doing anything but they are laying the foundations for crucial relationships that will mean promotions and better pay for them in the future. Meanwhile you’re wasting your energy trying to make every project you work on perfect.
If you’re a young bright woman and entering a corporate environment for the first time, please don’t go in cold. Read Nice Girls Don’t Get The Corner Office by Dr. Lois P Frankel. And your good girl, good student habits might sabotage you more than anything. Business culture is very unfair to women and nobody tells you in school what you’re actually going to be dealing with. In fact, they’d the opportunity to take advantage of you.
just realized Omegle was actually a really fun idea, it’s just that males just ruined it for everyone. Do you realize how fun Omegle would have been with just women? Think about it. Like damn, men are quite literally the reason why 99.9% of good/nice/fun things can’t exist or function as intended. Because a moid will show up and shove his dick into it. Males are actively impeding humanity.
the way the male sex is so inherently unattractive u have to make up fake little guys and give them elaborate backstories fun personality traits and unattainable looks to be able to enjoy them at all
It's insane how there's this narrative that "women are believed over men" regarding abuse but it's literally always the men getting public support in abuse cases and the women getting disgusting harassment
“imagine if the genders were reversed, there would be outrage!” as if we don’t constantly see evidence to the contrary
the female experience😍
"I invested in a pair of headphones so I wouldn’t have to listen to the things that men say to twelve-year-old girls on the subway. But only being able to see the looks they gave me and the way they mouthed the words made the silent come-ons seem threatening in a way they hadn’t before. One man in a business suit—whose manicured nails I had noticed as he held the subway bar—lifted my headphone off one ear, came close enough that I felt his breath on my ear, and softly said, Take care of your titties for me. He stepped off the train as the headphone snapped back onto my head.
I started seeing dicks so regularly on my school commute— behind newspapers, barely tucked into unzipped jeans, or with just the head peeking out of sweatpants waistbands—I started to assume every man on the subway was thinking about showing me his penis. Any time the man sitting next to me brushed his hands near his pants, I stiffened—ready to get up and move seats or yell at him if I was in that kind of mood. To this day, if I’m on a plane or train, or even in a cab, if a man rests his hands on his lap I become hyperaware, waiting.
The older I got, the less it happened. By the time I was eighteen years old, I would only be flashed on the subway once or twice a year. That summer, I was a few feet from the staircase leading up to the train platform when a car pulled over and a man shouted out from his opened window, asking if I knew where Northern Boulevard was. I pointed toward it—two blocks ahead—hardly glancing over, trying not to break my stride. I’m sorry, he said. I don’t understand. Where is it? I stepped off the curb to get closer to his car. Before I could point again to where he needed to go, I saw that his penis was out and that he was not really rubbing it like most men did, but shaking it. I was annoyed and tried to turn on my right heel to step back onto the sidewalk. But this man in the car grabbed me by my elbow and started pulling me toward the window. His left hand moved up to grab my shoulder, close to my neck, while he still shook his limpish dick with his right hand. He tried to pull me in further, and now my whole arm and shoulder were through his window and in the car. I pushed him on top of the head with my free hand and he let go.
I spoke to a detective at the police station a few days later; he called the man in the car a “potato head” and put me at a table with five huge books of mug shots. The label on the books said HISPANIC even though I told them I couldn’t be sure of his race. When I asked if they could give me fewer books, I was told that these were all the photos of Hispanic men in our precinct who had been arrested for sex-related crimes. Five books. They were heavy. I didn’t recognize anyone but spent several hours leafing through the books, touching the photos of the men within blocks of me who had been arrested for sex crimes. Young men, old men, very old men. When I asked the detective if they thought they would find the man who grabbed me, he looked at me across his dirty desk and shook his head. No, sweetheart, we’ll never find him."

I need this.
Reblogged last year, hoping it comes this year
I still do not understand how anyone can be attracted to snape. Like .. I cannot wrap my head around it. He looks alcoholic and 3x divorced. He looks like he smells bad
that's an actual genre of man that some osa women don't just like, but prefer ..
Reminds me of this video: https://youtu.be/L5Y5HFjiBNk
did he really fall victim to the alt right pipeline or was he already insufferable and just looking for ways to justify his behavior

It’s easy to forget how far feminism has come in such a short space of time (short relative to the thousands of years women have been oppressed for) but in my country i’m able to work any job, or for myself, own property, vote, travel solo, divorce at will, wear anything i want, spend my time how i want, chose my own partner, and (theoretically) have any man who assaults me charged in court.
There are so many other places where women can’t do any of those things. I have the freedoms i have because of the women who fought against all odds to secure those freedoms, but they also fought at a time where social structure was changing.
They had post war leverage- having stepped up to work ‘male’ jobs, and having a large portion of men not return from war, society was disrupted and there was a sense of refusing to go back in the cage.
If it wasn’t for that, who knows where my country would be? I think disruptive social change is coming again soon (caused by climate failure induced famines and resource wars etc) so maybe in the upheaval we’ll lose our freedoms to maniacal men, or maybe we’ll claim new freedoms from them. That depends on the work we are doing now.
Fight for women’s liberation, no matter how futile it can seem, because if we don’t it could get so much worse, but if we do, we may succeed for future women.
Marguerite Stern is a french feminist who started the collage feminicide movement: women who write on street walls about male violence. She started it all by herself one night. She once streamed live as a man was agressively confronting her and it was pretty scary. But she stood her ground and he ended up giving up. This is her:
behind her is written "she leaves him, he kills her"
"Julie was killed by her ex on the third of march 2019, she had filed 5 complaints to the police"
"the 124th femicide victim of the year was your neighbour"
"femicide: government guilty, justice complicit"
Of course Marguerite has received a lot of attention from anti-feminists, but the most vicious ones have been trans activists. They hijacked the collage feminicide movement and used Marguerite's technique to advocate violence against women. On the walls, instead of calling out male violence, they wrote "burn terfs at the stake", "genital preference is transphobia", "save a trans kill a terf" and other pornographic and "queer" nonsense, just repeating what americans say basically. Marguerite condemned these actions and has been critical of gender ideology ever since, even giving her support to J.K. Rowling.
After this, she says her life completely changed and she was attacked like she'd never been before. She receives graphic death threats on a regular basis, simply because she does not believe it is possible for a man to be a woman. Trans activists have made fun of her appearance saying she needed "facial feminization surgery", have threatened to kill her family and told her to prepare their funerals, have openly discussed assaulting her by taking notes of which streets she uses etc. I've seen it all with my own two eyes. Exhausted by all of this, Marguerite was recently admitted to a hospital for mental health issues and took a break to recover. 2 days ago she received two graphic death threats, one is a painting that is actually displayed in a gallery, showing Marguerite being decapitated.
I'm making this post in support of Marguerite, I think those who dare to take a stand on behalf of women need to know they aren't alone in this. I also want to remind everyone once again that currently the most vehement anti-feminists in the west are not our typical MRAs, but the proponents of gender ideology.
"My life is really hard. But I wouldn't change it for the world. Because I offered myself the greatest of luxury: expressing my ideas freely and being perfectly at ease with my morals."
