Men go around defaming random victims all the time and then wonder why women don't believe when they cry "false rape accusations". You felt very comfortable falsely accusing a woman of "lying about rape" while sitting behind your keyboard and now you're mad that women around you are putting you on blast and other women are ignoring you? Ok lol.

the international virgin-whore complex

In this manner, ūman ribu made connections between the status of Japanese wives and Japanese imperialism by recalling the sexual violation of the comfort women.

"Women smiled more in pictures in the fifties as housewives"

Yeah! It was the legal prescription for meth to deal with the lack of marital rape laws!

Whose class interests (excepting those of the bourgeoisie) are served by advocating the desirability of contractual marriage and the consequent perpetuation of the subjugation of women? If we look at its material basis, we find that proletarian anti-feminism is most characteristic of those strata of the proletariat whose wages are sufficient to maintain a family at an average working-class standard of living. In such strata, where wages are adequate, a woman whose labor power is privately appropriated is a real bargain, for the same services, if waged, would be totally out of reach of the men.

Proletarian anti-feminism represents the particular material interests of highly paid, unionized male workers vis-a-vis women. The subjugation of women serves as a "natural" restriction upon the employment of female labor, and thus partially controls competition in the labor force. It keeps women unorganized and powerless in labor organizations. It secures male workers the benefits that accrue to them through their right to privately appropriate female labor power as well as the psychological "benefit" of always having a woman inferior to serve as a waitress, lover and servant, securely dependent and, at least theoretically, humbly grateful. No matter how low a man might fall, his wife is lower yet; no matter how powerless a man may truly be, his home is his castle and his subjects his wife and children.

—Marlene Dixon, "Left-Wing Anti-Feminism: A Revisionist Disorder."

In Pelotas, the comrades from CFCAM, PCB and UJC created the "Boca na Tribuna" act together with the 8M front to denounce systematic violence against women and make the date visible, pointing out that this violence is inherent to the capitalist-racist-patriarchal system. Let's go!

Radfems want you to believe that feminism is divided up like this:

Radical feminism ("real" feminism)

Libfems (everyone else, "fake" feminists)

This is both wrong and hilariously reductive and binary. It posits Radfems as the only "real" feminists and everyone else as their literal enemy. It erases literally every other kind of feminism.

Hint: if you're in a group that has black and white thinking, that places people into only one of two categories that are "allies" and "enemies" like this, you're in a high-control group.

Caliban and the Witch is amazing. Just amazing. I also only got a few pages in (other than extracts/clippings) because it's so dense. The audiobook would only be harder to parse.

I *know *the world needs a 6 hour miniseries of example stories that not only shows how previous theory didn't account for women's work or thought capitalist girlbosses would fix things. I sure need this in digestible illustrated chunks.

Can't even get far enough to see what it has to say about the elderly/disabled. Complete brain freeze. Good stuff though,

wooof I need the annotated version though, the sparksnotes, the "for dummies" even.

Trans Inclusive Radical Feminism; aka Radical Feminism

"Trans-exclusionary Radical Feminist" (TERF) is at its core a misnomer. Terfs have at best taken liberal, choice feminism and perverted it to be right-wing (see JK Rowling's tory political opinions) and trans-exclusionary. The closest terfs get to radical feminism is lesbian separatism - which is honestly a niche and minority opinion within radical feminism.

If terfs ever did read radical feminist theory, they would find it wholly different than there values. Often, terfs will say that while gender is a social construct, sex is not, and therefore sex based oppression exists. While reproductive oppression does exist and largely impacts AFAB individuals, the dichotomy of gender and sex is absent from radical feminist theory. Gender vs. Sex is a mainstream, choice feminist construct that oversimplifies the trans existence.

Famous radical feminist figure Andrea Dworkin was undoubtedly a trans ally:

The discovery is, of course, that “man” and “woman” are fictions, caricatures, cultural constructs. As models they are reductive, totalitarian, inappropriate to human becoming. As roles they are static, demeaning to the female, dead-ended for male and female both. The discovery is inescapable: We are, clearly, a multisexed species which has its sexuality spread along a vast continuum where the elements called male and female are not discrete.

Dworkin does not state that gender is a spectrum while sex is an binary - but that the concept of man and woman, whether as a gender or a sex, is a fiction.

If you want to be trans-exclusive, at least don't pervert the words of trans-inclusive radical feminist thinkers.

Daily reminder that rape and sexual violence are 1000x worse than murder and a billion times worse than a lie(fALsE raPe case). No amount of men doing mental gymnastics is going to change that.

I’ve been thinking recently that the modern term ‘intersectionality’ is essentially a new application of the basic theoretical approach of dialectical materialism. I’m not as familiar with Kimberlé Crenshaw (who coined the concept) as I’d like, but I think it’s neigh undeniable that her work, and indeed much of the Third Wave, to some significant degree built on the (black) socialist feminism of figures like Audre Lorde, bell hooks, and most importantly Angela Davis (whose doctoral advisor was none other than Herbert Marcuse).

If this is even remotely the case, it also means that the reason intersectionality is so important to confronting our stratified, racialised, gender troubled political economy is precisely because it’s an extension of the exact methodology which György Lukács characterised as the defining feature of Marxism, and it is therefore central to understanding class struggle and thereby developing class consciousness.

In other words, intersectionality is simply a more recent application of dialectical materialism which emphasises identities as the basis to observe that what’s true for one group or class may not be so for another, likely due to marginalisation or disenfranchisement.

For those out near Boston, MA looking for a way to get involved - Socialist Alternative is putting on an event to protest the overturning of Roe v. Wade and discuss building a socialist feminist movement in Boston. They'll be gathering at 140 Bowdoin Street across from the statehouse on Sunday June 26th 2022 at 4pm.

Under capitalism, the inequality of women stems from exploitation of the working class by the capitalist class. But the exploitation of women cuts across class lines and affects all women. Marxism-Leninism views the woman question as a special question which derives from the economic dependence of women upon men. This economic dependence as Engels wrote over 100 years ago, carries with it the sexual exploitation of women, the placing of woman in the modern bourgeois family, as the “proletariat” of the man, who assumes the role of “bourgeoisie.”

Hence, Marxist-Leninists fight to free woman of household drudgery, they fight to win equality for women in all spheres; they recognize that one cannot adequately deal with the woman question or win women for progressive participation unless one takes up the special problems, needs and aspirations of women – as women.

Excerpt from Donna Haraway’s A Cyborg Manifesto:

“The cyborg is resolutely committed to partiality, irony, intimacy, and perversity. It is oppositional, utopian, and completely without innocence. No longer structured by the polarity of public and private, the cyborg defines a technological polis based partly on a revolution of social relations in the oikos, the household. Nature and culture are reworked; the one can no longer be the resource for appropriation or incorporation by the other. The relationships for forming wholes from parts, including those of polarity and hierarchical domination, are at issue in the cyborg world.

Unlike the hopes of Frankenstein’s monster, the cyborg does not expect its father to save it through a restoration of the garden—that is, through the fabrication of a heterosexual mate, through its completion in a finished whole, a city and cosmos. The cyborg does not dream of community on the model of the organic family, this time without the oedipal project. The cyborg would not recognize the Garden of Eden; it is not made of mud and cannot dream of returning to dust. Perhaps that is why I want to see if cyborgs can subvert the apocalypse of returning to nuclear dust in the manic compulsion to name the Enemy.

Cyborgs are not reverent; they do not remember the cosmos. They are wary of holism, but needy for connection—they seem to have a natural feel for united-front politics, but without the vanguard party. The main trouble with cyborgs, of course, is that they are the illegitimate offspring of militarism and patriarchal capitalism, not to mention state socialism. But illegitimate offspring are often exceedingly unfaithful to their origins. Their fathers, after all, are inessential.”
