Choice feminism will never yield any real results because it treats the patriarchy-the system that traditional feminism aimed to destroy- as almost nonexistent. Yeah okay, ‘patriarchy’ is thrown around as a buzzword, but it’s never seen as a legitimate means of controlling women by choice feminists. Here’s why.
Choice feminism assumes that every choice a woman makes is made in a vacuum. A woman’s choice to wear makeup is her choice made without the influence of beauty standards pushed by a trillion-dollar beauty industry made by men. A woman’s choice to do sex work is her choice uninfluenced by hyper-sexualization and misogyny created by the porn industry once again created by men. A woman’s choice to participate in kink culture is her choice uninfluenced by the porn culture and influence men created to keep women submissive.
Critical thinking is thrown away just so choice feminists can say ‘look at me! I’m empowered doing things men have always expected me to do and benefit from’. Proving some half-thought-out point about women’s autonomy is more important than breaking free from the financial, political, and cultural systems of oppression the patriarchy created for these feminists.
Throwing around ‘fuck the patriarchy’ does nothing when you don’t acknowledge it as an extremely powerful force that penetrates women’s lives and influences decision-making.

https://www.tumblr.com/trinitycove/721870004020248576/what-post-are-you-referring-to-i-reblogged-a-post
genuinely don’t care for that tho i’ve seen many ppl screenshot it and such. i know people on here are gonna pretend their man is a great guy and totally the biggest male feminist possible and whatever else.. i’ll never meet him so i dont care & i’ll take it with a grain of salt bc why would any of these women mention their mens’ negative traits? “he usually cooks!” but they never say if she usually does everything else. “he helps women!” but they never say if he says misogynistic shit sometimes and they have to side-eye him. we’ll never know in actuality so why bother speculating? it’s a stranger’s even bigger of a stranger boyfriend. but i just don’t know why insist u are a radfem while with a man. the things listed are not even radfem-specific. opposing porn is not a thing only radfems have done. neither has opposing trafficking been radfem exclusive, neither is anything else mentioned. so why is the radfem label necessary for random het-partnered women to claim
#and they always compare themselves to andrea dworkin & gail dines too like.. girl please. for one andrea dworkin isn’t the radfem jesus#and secondly why do u think ur comparable to these women who literally dedicated their lives to feminist activism#not referring to her here just in general btw.

The Sea Hunters (2002)The Search for the Andrea Gail
S2E3
Immortalized by the bestseller and hit movie The Perfect Storm, the swordfishing boat Andrea Gail sank somewhere in the North Atlantic in the monstrous meteorological confluence of 1991. The Sea Hunters try to provide closure for the crew's friends and family by probing a fabled ships' graveyard for the boat's remains.

I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if raw liver boba were to be mentioned as a menu item in one of @gailcarriger 's San Andreas Shifters books, sounds exactly like something that would be offered in a cafe that caters to shifters

A trend I notice with radical feminist writers is how blunt and direct they are, which makes them easy to read. Valerie Solanas, Andrea Dworkin, Gail Dines--all of them cut straight to the point. Meanwhile, "queer theory" authors like Judith Butler and Michel Foucault are famously dense, obscure, and no one can ever agree on what their point is.
I see people talk about how there's an anti-intellectual backlash happening on the Left, but I think it's worse than that--it's not just that people are discrediting academics and research, they're discrediting common sense. It's common sense to say that a man who orgasms to the thought of women in pain is a misogynist. It's common sense to say that sex that is meant to hurt and degrade someone is not good sex. It's common sense to say that a man is not a woman.
And I think that's why radical feminist authors come across as blunt speakers--because they aren't intellectualizing the obvious, they're stating it. Meanwhile, the work of Butler and Foucault obscures reality as much as possible (oh sorry-- "problematizes" reality as much as possible).
I wish the people who accuse radical feminists of having dog whistles would actually read radical feminist literature and see how blunt the writing is--absolutely nothing has a double meaning or an implied meaning. Everything is direct.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/all-about-sex/202304/how-common-is-violence-against-women-in-porn
This article is the worst take on violence in porn I’ve seen lately. The article completely dismisses any acts of violence on the basis that these acts are taken out of context and ‘are actually standard elements of consensual BDSM’.
I see this same point being made about context everywhere. ‘It’s not violence if it’s consensual’ or ‘it’s part of BDSM’. However, no one ever wants to analyze the impact BDSM and porn has had on setting women back and normalizing sexual violence against women.
It doesn’t matter if you individually love being hit or you like being dominated. However, porn is available to everyone and the messages from porn have hurt women deeply. Porn has made violence against women and subjugation to men appealing to many women. Porn has influenced an extremely high number of women to fool themselves into thinking they’re sexually liberated when they’re just catering to men’s misogynistic ideas about women.
Going back to my main point now. Porn isn’t okay just because it makes you feel good. You can’t say porn is good because it’s a part of BDSM culture. You can’t excuse violence in porn because of ‘context’ or ‘some people like it’.
Porn is setting women back. Porn is disguising violence as a kink and excusing misogyny. Porn sexualizes every single part of women including every body part, every aspect of their personality, and their career. Porn promotes violence against women 100x than against men. Oh wait, but according to this article it all goes back to the context of each individual video. The fact that women are the ones being brutalized in 99% of porn videos apparently means nothing.
I’m literally done with this rhetoric.

I would suggest picking a book that sounds interesting and using the footnotes and bibliography to find more to read. I've done that a lot :) a lot of my books have more sticky tabs or w/e in the bibliography than in the text so I don't lose stuff I'm interested in.
Hope this helps!

I'm preaching to the choir here, but what I find particularly Stoopid about Nazi rhetoric around porn is that some of the loudest voices AGAINST porn have been Jewish, including various radfems (Andrea Dworkin, Gail Dines, Ariel Levy) and Ben Shapiro (remember his epic freakout about Cardi B's pussy?). I say this not to agree with Dworkin or Shapiro, but to complain that Nazis fail, as usual, to realize that JEWS AREN'T A HIVEMIND
If i were to steelman the nazis here i would point out that most of these anti porn crusades have been almost entirely futile
In this ofc they contrast with contemporary neo nazis own such crusades, which have been actually entirely futile

It should be common sense at this point that radical feminism is a movement by and for male-partnered women.
In lieu of getting to know the movement better, I was frequently prompted to read the works of its prominent figures like Gail Dines and Andrea Dworkin, so I did. What I saw was a mixture of uninformed reformism and severe lesbophobia. Their writing is completely in line with the notions that circulate radical spaces. It would not be uncalled for to assume that the marital status of the poster children is the reason they are admired and quoted; it affirms women's life choices.
#it is only a call-out if you believe that being with a man is something reprehensible#all branches of feminism are trying to pose it is as something innocuous#if it is then none of this is going to bother you#saying that most radical feminists are either married and/or with children is just me stating a fact

a perfect gentle knight by kit pearson
feathers by jacqueline woodson
habibi by naomi shihab nye
