names feminism opinion
In my opinion, no feminism worthy of the name is not methodologically post-marxist.
individuality alternatives may
An individual's treatment and alternatives in life may depend as much on the reputation of the group to which that person belongs as on their own merit.
feminist feminism sexuality
Sexuality is to feminism what work is to Marxism...
sexuality pornography ifs
If pornography is part of your sexuality, then you have no right to your sexuality.
believe men radical-feminism
Feminism is built on believing women's accounts of sexual use and abuse by men.
sex misandry man-hater
Politically, I call it rape whenever a woman has sex and feels violated.
betrayal home people
It's particularly hard to take being stabbed in the back close to home. There's always a feeling of betrayal when people of your own group oppose you.
sex men female
Women and men are divided by gender, made into the sexes as we know them, by the social requirements of heterosexuality, which institutionalizes male sexual dominance and female sexual submission.
hurt looks done
If you want to know who is being hurt in this society, go see what is being done and to whom in pornography and then go look for them other places in the world.
men mouths want
Men, permitted to put words (and other things) in women's mouths, create scenes in which women desperately want to be bound, battered, tortured, humiliated, and killed.
growing-up pain father
You grow up with your father holding you down and covering your mouth so another man can make a horrible searing pain between your legs.
grateful self survival
Marxism teaches that exploitation and degradation somehow produce resistance and revolution. It's been hard to say why. What I've learned from women's experience with sexuality is that exploitation and degradation produce grateful complicity in exchange for survival. They produce self-loathing to the point of extinction of self, and it is respect for self that makes resistance conceivable.
growing-up pain father
Imagine that for hundreds of years your most formative traumas, your daily suffering and pain, the abuse you live through, the terror you live with, are unspeakable not the basis of literature. You grow up with your father holding you down and covering your mouth so another man can make a horrible searing pain between your legs.... You learn how to leave your body and create someone else who takes over when you cannot stand it any more. You develop a self who is ingratiating and obsequious and imitative and aggressively passive and silent you learn, in a word, femininity.
benefits force standing
It's mainly a few elite women who benefit greatly from standing with the forces that keep women down.
