Dead Wild Roses: Return of the Red Pen of Justice (RPOJ) – Why Men Reject Career Women – Or How Stereotypical Gender Roles are Fucking Awesome!!1!
The RPOJ comes for thee. It has been way to long since the last RPOJ post. My apologies faithful readers. Today’s lovely winner is Anthony writing on his blog ‘How to be Happy’ – with the catchy tagline ‘Personal philosophy driven by experience and reason’. My suggestion is to

Hmm. Time to give some side eye to queer theory as it seems to go against much of what feminism is about. Let’s examine a part of an essay by Susan Cox writing on the Feminist Current. “Feminists defied patriarchal ideology by declaring that we do not have “wandering

http://tehbewilderness.tumblr.com/post/162144889809/mypowerourpower-yayfeminism-screencaps-from Articles like this highlight the systemic, societal based normative attitudes that we are bathed in. Male violence is looked on in a sympathetic light and the narratives spun around them serve as a justification for their actions. Lying in wait with a shotgun under your family’s car and then
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Radical Feminism – Female Liberation
This is what radical feminists mean when we say that feminism isn’t about equality, but is about the liberation of female people from male people. We don’t want to be as violent as men are. Such a simple concept, yet so many seem not able to grasp the idea.

Bill C-16 is problematic for women. Go read the entirety of Megan Murphy’s article on the Feminist Current, I’ve excerpted a key bit here though. 🙂 Bill C-16 passed at the Senate on Thursday. Under this new Canadian legislation, which follows similar laws in a number of Western countries, a

I know which minor superpower I’d like to have, I’d like the ability to switch minds of other people, or increase the amount of empathy others feel toward each other. So much of the problem (other than the dudely shit-stains that actually harass women) is that people just can’t relate

Canadian bill C-16 passed. “The bill updates the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code to include the terms “gender identity” and “gender expression.” The legislation also makes it illegal to discriminate on the basis of gender identity or expression. It would also extend hate speech laws to include

Consider this conversation and then juxtaposition it with all the chatter one hears about ‘gender identity’ and ‘gender expression’. Add to your lens the notion of male privilege and how it often plays out when it comes to respecting the boundaries of females. (not) Funny how that works. http://auntiewanda.tumblr.com/post/160517895825/cecaeliawitch-this-was-a-pretty-grand-moment-and

Gail Dines is an amazing feminist. She lectures worldwide and has written many an article as well as few really good books. She sums up the slide toward liberal feminism in three meagre slides. Let’s move away from the neo-liberal/libertarian ‘I’ve got mine, fuck you’ trend that has dominated
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Radical Feminism – Defining Sex and Gender.
One of the problems while debating misguided 3rd wavers, or gender/qu**r activists is that lack of definitional rigour when it comes to the terms ‘sex’ and ‘gender’. What is chilling is that these activists often refuse to define their terms, yet as demonstrated here in Canada want these same

http://tehbewilderness.tumblr.com/post/160068494084/literal-violence Yeah. So trans community what is the plan to deal members who choose to behave like this? I’m curious because this particular sub-set seems to be defining what trans-activism is all about and illustrating quite succinctly the threat it poses to women. Filed under: Radical Feminism Tagged:

“Every single time I hear a transactivist or MTT person call us ‘cis’ or ‘cis privileged’ as a woman I am going to assume that they think the following experiences of being a woman privilege us: The number one greatest industry in the world is the buying, selling and trafficking

“Before I became radicalised as a man-hating, separatist feminzai hell-bent on installing a matriarchy and imprisoning men as its slaves, I possessed a nominal amount of internalised misogyny. Women were bitchy and mean. They cared about irrelevant rubbish and talked in loud, shrill voices. Their laughter was annoying and tinny,

Auntie Wanda on the Pronoun Game. “Pronouns refer to visible sex and a man is referred to as a “he.” Not everyone has to play your word games.” “Pronouns aren’t malicious, they’re neutral words that refer to female people and male people respectively. The knowledge that our species has two

I could not hit reblog fast enough. Plus a wonderful quote from said article. Thank you giuliaalexis. “Recently, I got into a Facebook discussion about how gender is not neutral for women. At some point, I commented that patriarchy wouldn’t exist if men didn’t want to control the bodies of

“I understand the desire to be inclusive. The feminist movement has historically not been super inclusive or intersectional, particularly for women of color and lesbian and bisexual women. I think the third wave has been doing a much better, albeit not perfect, job of being more intersectional. However, radical feminism

The term ‘essentialist’ gets thrown out quite a bit as the tenets of radical feminism rub up against the new gender zeitgeist. Let’s look at a common argument that genderists make while interacting with Radical Feminists. – Genderist: For not wanting women reduced to their genitals, you seem to care

This exchange typifies many a conversation I’ve had during debates on gender and transactivism. Critiquing and debating a position is not hate. Many thanks to the radfemchronicals on tumblr for so eloquently stating her position and highlighting the difference between ‘hate’ and ‘criticism’. grumpypiano asked: I keep seeing anti-trans
