While gossip among women is universally ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men, especially if it is about women, is called theory, or idea, or fact.

“Only women die one by one, still believing that if only they had been perfect—perfect wife, mother, or whore—they would not have come to hate life so much, to find it so strangely difficult and empty, themselves so hopelessly confused and despairing. Women die, mourning not the loss of their own lives, but their own inexcusable inability to achieve perfection as men define it for them. Women desperately try to embody a male-defined feminine ideal because survival depends on it. The ideal, by definition, turns a woman into a function, deprives her of any individuality that is self-serving or self-created, not useful to the male in his scheme of things. This monstrous female quest for male-defined perfection, so intrinsically hostile to freedom and integrity, leads inevitably to bitterness, paralysis, or death, but like the mirage in the desert, the life-giving oasis that is not there, survival is promised in this conformity and nowhere else.”
— Andrea Dworkin, Right Wing Women.

Women's social condition is built on a simple premise: women can be fucked and bear babies, therefore women must be fucked and bear babies. Sometimes, especially among the sophisticated, "penetrated" is substituted for "fucked": women can be penetrated, therefore women must be penetrated. This logic does not apply to men, whichever word is used: men can be fucked, therefore men must be fucked; men can be penetrated, therefore men must be penetrated. This logic applies only to women and sex. One does not say, for instance, women have delicate hands, therefore women must be surgeons. Or women have legs, therefore women must run, jump, climb. Or women have minds, therefore women must use them. One does learn, however, that women have sex organs that must be used by men, or the women are not women: they are somehow less or more, either of which is bad and thoroughly discouraged. Women are defined, valued, judged, in one way only: as women—that is, with sex organs that must be used. Other parts of the body do not signify, unless used in sex or as an indicator of sexual availability or desirability. Intelligence does not count. It has nothing to do with what a woman is.

I had a spiritual experience while reading the last chapter of Andrea Dworkin’s Right Wing Women today. Nothing has hit me harder or opened my third eye more than reading her careful dissection of the models of anti feminism, and going over the specific paragraphs about the woman-superior model. I was immediately sucker punched in the solar plexus. I could almost feel Andrea Dworkin sitting next to me, discussing the ‘divine feminine’ bullshit that’s on the rise on tiktok and Twitter right now. I have never before been so suddenly and powerfully aware of the importance and meaning of a concept I already believed in, which is that we as feminists need to stop reinventing the wheel and throwing it out every other generation. Everything we are going through today as women and as feminists has either been extensively described and dissected, or predicted by feminists past. We need to immediately stop discrediting all feminist text that’s already been written, and focus on understanding it and applying it to our world. We need to build on, not demolish and rebuild. And like, I knew this and believed it in theory, which is why I started reading more theory in English, but it just. Hit me right in the face.

I like when people propose “do you really want STATE AND PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS to be taking care of kids instead of mommies staying home with them?” like everyone agrees with them that words like “state,” “public,” and “institutions” are so automatically scary. Like as an actual socialist and feminist and not just one who cosplays as one online, I do actually support those things! I think anyone who is truly supportive of those ideologies should (or some other communitarian alternative), and the fact that some individual public institutions are not good — largely due to mismanagement and underfunding — is not actually an argument against state or community support for stuff like public education and public daycare/preschool as a broader concept. There are places that do them well and in those places they are infinitely preferable to everything the “parents’ rights” crowd wants.
The funniest thing about this is which people say this shit. The person I reblogged that from runs a tradwife mommyblog full of anti vax garbage. Way to make it clear that your children specifically would benefit the most from greater exposure to people who are not you and who believe different things from you.

"In analyzing the sex-class system, feminists are accused of inventing or perpetuating it. Calling attention to it, we are told, insults women by suggesting they are victims (stupid enough to allow themselves to be victimized). Feminists are accused of being the agents of degradation by postulating that such degradation exists. This is a little like considering abolitionists responsible for slavery, but all is fair when love is war." —Andrea Dworkin, Right Wing Women

The male Left abandoned abortion rights for genuinely awful reasons: the boys were not getting laid; there was bitterness and anger against feminists for ending a movement (by withdrawing from it) that was both power and sex for the men; there was also the familiar callous indifference of the sexual exploiter—if he couldn't screw her she wasn't real.
The hope of the male Left is that the loss of abortion rights will drive women back into the ranks—even fear of losing might do that; and the male Left has done what it can to assure the loss. The Left has created a vacuum that the Right has expanded to fill—this the Left did by abandoning a just cause, by its decade of quietism, by its decade of sulking. But the Left has not just been an absence; it has been a presence, outraged at women's controlling their own bodies, outraged at women's organizing against sexual exploitation, which by definition means women also organizing against the sexual values of the Left. When feminist women have lost legal abortion altogether, leftist men expect them back—begging for help, properly chastened, ready to make a deal, ready to spread their legs again. On the Left, women will have abortion on male terms, as part of sexual liberation, or women will not have abortion except at risk of death.
And the boys of the sixties did grow up too. They actually grew older. They are now men in life, not just in the fuck. They want babies. Compulsory pregnancy is about the only way they are sure to get them.

Today, the German government banned the Hammerskins nationwide, along with support group Crew 38.
The homes of 28 alleged leaders were searched in raids today, resulting in the seizure of Hammerskins property. The group has been active in Germany for decades, though this article says they mostly organize concerts and sell CDs there (quite different from the Hammerskins in the US). They also started the annual "Kampf der Nibelungen" MMA competitions, which were officially banned in 2019, but have continued under different names since then. Among other international participants, members of the California-based Nazi fight club Rise Above Movement (RAM) have participated in Kampf der Nibelungen events.
