Text of the page (random words):
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 joce claire 8 26 pm tags blogs feminism free speech pornography comments 9 june 10 2009 talking to sex pozzies filed under uncategorized joce claire 11 41 pm tags consciousness raising porn pornography sex poz i m found that some radical feminist positions are really obvious if you think about them but few women ever get exposed to them i was fully in the liberal sex poz camp before a game of link leapfrog introduced me to radfem writings online i think a lot of liberal feminists could be converted to radical ideas if they were exposed to them i m now working on converting some of my friends susie a friend since childhood is engaged to a man and very much a liberal sex poz feminist she s also always had an aversion to pornography that she couldn t pin down this is a conversation we had online today susie hey help me out i m talking to my fiancé about porn and i can t articulate my issues me well it s very male centric and almost all the acts in it are solely for male pleasure susie my fiancé says i would say women are probably less exploited in the field of high production value pornography than they are in most others most fields of employment discriminate against women but porn discriminates for them female porno actors make many times more money than their male counterparts i told him yeah but i can t see how it wouldn t fuck with your head or why you d get into it as a woman if you weren t fucked up i know that there are some who do and are just fine but i think the chances are extremely high that any particular woman in a porno has serious issues the fiancé says which part is the fucked up part the part where you think sex is fun the part where you make tons of money or the part where you get to be a star i said the part where you think your body is the only thing you ve got going for you the fiancé says who said they do you re projecting an awful lot does a basketball player think the same way or a construction worker you can undertake a physical profession without thinking of yourself as less than human me but money is a form of coercion in psychology ethics you re not allowed to pay someone enough to make them do something they wouldn t want to do otherwise and what makes him think it s fun for the women i never see hear them make any actual enjoyment noises just really really fake ones having a dick shoved up your ass and then having to suck on it is degrading they don t even do that in gay porn i ve actually researched this but it s really common in straight porn susie huh interesting me it s like suicide food have you heard of that susie no me like the bbq franchises with a smiling pig mascot like oh boy i can t wait to be eaten so they make this whole thing in porn of women smiling as they re choking on a huge cock or making all these really fake enjoyment noises to lessen men s guilt about them being exploited but that doesn t mean they enjoy it 1 also women in porn don t seem to get hardly any foreplay which is necessary for sex to be unpainful the fact that we can pay people to pretend to enjoy something means nothing and honestly i think porn prostitution only seems empowering to women who ve had a lot of unwanted sex in the past and feel like at least if they re getting paid they get something and not necessarily unwanted sex as in rape but as in feeling obligated or pressured or like they can t say no susie you make very good points i can t google it from work but i know there have been studies done about the percentage of women in the sex entertainment industry who have been sexually abused and it s high me yep 60 80 according to various studies 2 oh that s just childhood sexual abuse so probably more who have been raped as adults and lots more who have been pressured or coerced into unwanted sex which is practically all women susie yeah it s obscene i don t see how that could be arousing gosh i hope this hot chick is one of the 20 who are okay me watching women reenact their own childhood rapes isn t arousing to you susie wow goddamn well said i think a lot more women would be open to radical feminist ideas if we gave them a little more credit and kind of eased them into it and i think a big part of women s liberation is reaching out to other women and educating them the first liberation has to happen within women s heads right comments 13 june 5 2009 new rules filed under uncategorized joce claire 3 52 pm tags blog rules commenting well i ve tried
