omen s attempt to educate herself learning feminism september 18 2009 feminist men filed under uncategorized joce claire 5 56 am tags can men be feminists feminism male feminists men pro feminist men can men be feminists well i think they probably could be not because i think there are any men free of male privilege or any men who don t act on male supremacy but because i don t think there are any women who don t collude with male supremacy in some small way or another the social conditioning is too ingrained so being a feminist can t mean never partaking in male supremacy because then there would be no feminists feminism means trying to battle male supremacy every day can a man do that sure do many any of them doubtful now while i think a man could be a feminist i don t think he should call himself one it s our word one of the few words created by women for women plus enough women are against men identifying as feminists that it would just be disrespectful to i like pro feminist and feminist supporter for men i don t like ally as a self designation i feel like it is the people who are fighting the war who get to decide who their allies are i want to be able to choose if i want a man as my ally not be told i m in an alliance i haven t consented to and if i don t want any men as allies i want that choice too now i think it is very very very important to be wary of pro feminist men kyle payne was a popular pro feminist anti porn blogger until it came out that he sexually assaulted a woman nine deuce s take terrence crowley in the essay the lie of entitlement from the book transforming a rape culture recommended writes of how he spent decades in the feminist movement while coercing women into having sex with him and my best friend was stalked and her roommate raped by a man she met in college who was very active in feminist and anti rape student groups pro feminist men can be especially dangerous because you re more likely to let your guard down with them but even the best pro feminist man is never really going to understand he will never know what it s like to be raised and socialized as a girl to be treated as a woman in this culture at best it will be an intellectual exercise for him but it is our lives comments 6 july 24 2009 my mother s daughter filed under uncategorized joce claire 4 06 am my mother whom i love and who is awesome in many ways knows i ve been reading a lot of feminist theory she took some old books a male sociology professor colleague was getting rid of and gave me the ones she decided were somehow related to feminism these are the books by mom thought her feminist daughter might enjoy a group called women sisterhood and symbolism in the feminist movement by joan cassell ok probably not going to read it footnotes show more than half the authors cited are male but yes feminist book success you just don t understand women and men in conversation by d eborah tannen ph d see women like to talk about feelings and men don t it s almost like we re from different planets or something someone should write a book about that callgirl by jeanette angell some kind of semi autographical and super sexxxy story of a woman s fabulous and sexxxy adventures in prostitution i m getting liberated just thinking about it comments 7 july 9 2009 23rd carnival of radical feminists filed under uncategorized joce claire 12 58 am welcome to the 23rd carnival of radical feminists thanks so much to everyone who participated as someone relatively new to the movement it s been an honor to play host to such a talented group and to do my part in presenting various aspects of the radical feminist mindset this carnival focuses on the basic issues of radical feminism from separatism and solidarity to prostitution and pornography since this blog is focused on the experience of discovering radical feminism i hope that one of these submissions will be the gateway for a new member of the fold my own intro to radical feminism was less than direct a largely disconnected series of writings on liberal feminist blogs ignited a spark of self evaluation of my views on both gender and race further investigation led eventually to interest in the radfem ideology and my learning began in earnest then radical feminist theory is not easy to find if you are not looking for it and i think many more women would be open to our views if given a chance this carnival obviously is not the end all and be all of radical feminism but i hope women will be able to find some exposure to radical views both on this site and through the links within again i thank everyone for their contributions and for their part in easing the way to radical feminism i had found for the first time a politics that genuinely wanted complete revolution and social change as i read the painful stories of so many women and girls that were written in radical feminist books i felt pained but i also felt heard echoed it was reassuring i was not the only one these things were happening to young blogger maggie at supporter of women s liberation details her entry into radical feminism rad fem maggie also gives instructions for how to argue with porn supporters including detailed arguments refuting every point they may make t he porn apologist bullshit arguments list and how to respond with confidence a woman does not usually approach me with the arrogant sexual presumption that men do she is not lasciviously undressing me with her eyes before she is granted some invitation or hint of sexual reciprocity she s not trying to push and violate my social boundaries aggressively seeking my willing subordination to substantiate her virility undercover punk a 30 year old lesbian separatist who just started her blog this february writes about the importance of putting other women first in her post on solidarity and being a woman identified woman in her post lesbian i have yet to see any rationalization of being moderate on abortion that does not involve either subtly or overtly disgust with the concept that women who are sexually mature actually have sex must read amananta from screaming into the void writes about why feminists must never compromise on abortion rights and the flaws in the left s position that abortions should be safe legal and rare radically pro choice in all the anti censorship arguments i have yet to hear anyone explain the social value of sexually explicit materials i m not saying there isn t any i m saying i ve never heard anyone discuss what positive effects erotica has except of course as an aid to masturbation i m not a liberal so i m not going to accept that something should exist because it does exist or because people like it or because of free speech and it seems to me that as feminists we ought to place a premium on understanding whether any phenomenon under discussion contributes to ending women s oppression i m drawing a blank about how erotica gets women free amy at feminist reprise questions whether erotica is substantially different from pornography and why some women find the hypothetical existence of feminist erotica so important good porn vs bad porn what s important to keep in mind in discussions of separatism is the radical revolutionary potential of lesbianism that is the potential for love and solidarity between women to undermine male supremacy even if that potential is not acted upon by very many lesbians amy also gives an introductory explanation of lesbian separatism and how it strengthens the bonds between women some perspectives on lesbian separatism i am your sister is not just a collection of lorde s seminal work but a celebration an honoring and a thoughtful presentation of who lorde was a black lesbian feminist activist and writer chelsea at feminist review discusses radical feminist audre lorde s book i am your sister i am your sister collected and unpublished writings of audre lorde 2 reading andrea dworkin makes you enraged but not at andrea dworkin brand new blogger redmegaera wrote this amusing post 10 reasons to suspect you re not the fun kind of feminist radical feminists are not anti sex they oppose a capitalistic patriarchally defined sexuality based on objectification and a dynamic of domination and submission men and the patriarchal institutions of prostitution marriage compulsory heterosexuality should not have the power to define what we call sex in our society for radical feminists sex is not natural or self evident but inherently political allecto at gorgon poisons started a bit of a spat with sex positive feminists with her post sheila is my sister about her support of anti prostitution writer and activist sheila jeffreys redmegaera writes her response the sheila jeffreys debate my two cents comments 8 june 16 2009 i m hosting a carnival filed under uncategorized joce claire 11 11 pm i m hosting the twenty third carnival of radical feminists thank you heart for giving me this opportunity the theme of this carnival is why radical feminism i m looking for posts that introduce some of the bare bones concepts of radical feminism as sort of a radfem 101 there s no place on the internet women can go to learn what radical feminism is and why it is the only path to real female liberation amy s feminist reprise is probably the closest place and it is invaluable to me but i think we can update it with our modern personal experiences and more contemporary critiques of patriarchy i want to create something we can point women to that explains radical feminism in our voices i think reaching out to other women is extremely important for the movement i was a liberal sex poz feminist just four or five months ago and a large part of that was only because i didn t know there was anything else out there there are many women that have instinctive issues with pornography prostitution maleness etc but since the primary criticisms come from religious conservative male viewpoints their exposure to alternatives is limited the false dichotomy between conservative liberal in our society causes women with the potential to be radicalized to settle for merely being liberal as it seems less overtly misogynistic with this carnival i hope to provide a center to allow women to move beyond less misogynistic to radically feminist so i m looking for submissions previous blog posts and new writings are both welcome new voices are also welcome and if you would like to write something but don t have a blog of your own i d be happy to host it here email submissions to j o c e l y n m a t h e rs gmail com with carnival in the subject submission deadline is july 2 nd i m especially interested in posts on these topics what is radical feminism why radical feminism real liberation versus false choice consciousness raising my feminist awakening separatism solidarity lesbianism living as a radical feminist the problems with liberal sex positive feminism and liberalism in general male entitlement critiques of prostitution pornography sadomasochism compulsory heterosexuality marriage religion etc the ubiquity of sexual coercion what would a post patriarchy look like i d appreciate links to this post so i can widen the pool of submissions thanks everyone comments 1 june 14 2009 unfun feminism filed under uncategorized joce claire 2 49 pm tags empowerment feminism fun feminism sex wars sexual politics sexuality this fun feminism bullshit is all about what makes you happy what makes you feel empowered women want to think they live in a vacuum that they re too smart or too savvy to buy into media hype or be overly affected by their environment why because it s fucking painful to admit that you re not you that you did not appear fully formed in this world with all your individual personality likes and dislikes people especially americans value individuality and it hurts to realize just how affected you are by your external environment a real feminist consciousness entails not just realizing the atrocities against women that go on in the world female genital mutilation in the middle east and parts of africa or child sex slavery in thailand and elsewhere but realizing how patriarchy affects you and those around you it s not fun it s not pleasant to realize that your father brother husband male friends and male coworkers get off on the subjugation of women it s not cool to look around you and notice that entitled white males don t even see you unless they re looking at you as a sexual object it s not enjoyable to see how your female friends perpetuate patriarchal values in their own relationships and it s especially not fun to realize all the things you ve said and done to perpetuate those same woman hating values radical feminism isn t popular because it isn t easy and it certainly isn t fun much easier and more immediately pleasurable to be a man s fucktoy and call yourself empowered because you get cunnilingus once in a while where mainstream feminism really lost the plot was during the sex wars pat califia and her ilk decided that since they personally got off on sadomasochism as lesbians it must be value neutral and then everything sexual must be value neutral as long as women claim to enjoy it now mainstream feminism is now full of empowered women who prostitute themselves or direct porn flicks personal happiness and personal empowerment is not the goal of feminism nor should it be the goal pleasure is far overvalued in our society and it should never come before say morality compassion fighting inequality etc where feminism went wrong was when it switched from being about liberation of women as a class to being about individualism and especially individual happiness pleasure because happiness and pleasure in a society result from upholding societal values patriarchy rewards those who support the patriarchal structure i don t think happiness is based on some internal pre existing inborn reward system how does personal sexuality actually advance female liberation anyway celibacy does i think because it refuses men as a class their role in using women as a class as does lesbianism but personal sexual fulfillment just improves personal sexual fulfillment i think even if women as a class were to try to redefine heterosexual sex to be more woman centered and less pornified it would not help matters greatly because it depends too strongly on male cooperation recommended reading sheila jeffreys how orgasm politics hijacked the feminist movement dana densmore independence from sexual revolution i ve linked this before because it is just about my favorite thing ever so here you go again comments 2 june 11 2009 new first amendment filed under uncategorized
