of power abuse denying the right to speech taking control over decisions in the name of anti racism etc intersectionality part v additional notes on amnesia and springing from outercourse published march 29 2014 free women and feeling freedom intersectionality series male reversals men s lies our movement safety from men s violence women s survival 45 comments tags amnesia intersectionality when we can t see men as the oppressors men s violence is suppressed in the unconscious realm or in the subliminal sea 1 and what remains visible and conscious to us in the foreground 2 is the betrayal by puppeted women orchestrated remote controlled by the invisible male lords puppeteers failing to see men s oppression and turning our anger against women is fundamentally based on amnesia our forgetting of men s genocide the depth of this insight popped up to me with instant clarity as a friend of mine and i were discussing why some women so readily turned against other women even in cases such as having been raped or tortured by their fathers for months one woman angrily resented her mother for about everything her father had subjected her to and instead felt sympathy for him her mother wasn t enough this she had failed to do that etc there were vast periods of torture she had forgotten but she remembered the lies her father had told her about her mother and this is what stayed however when she started recovering memories of what her father had done to her her anger against her mother abated she began to see how she too was victimised as a wife to her father and started to express anger against him this works on all levels our capacity to feel empathy towards women to reverse the reversals and to make the connections about men s violence is deeply and directly connected to our uncovering of the suppressed memories of what men have done to us when we forget the oppressor there is no other option than to turn against women because that s how patriarchy is configured there is one oppressor class men and one oppressed class women and if you re not against men then it s mechanically at the expense of women and of ourselves there is no in between or third outlet women are the only counterpoint to men s violence either we see men as the oppressors and therefore our rage is turned against them either we have effaced some or all of their role as oppressors and we automatically resent women for one thing or another the amnesia is organised both on an individual level and collective level it s individual in that men s violence and psychic warfare tactics which causes the amnesia happens to each one of us individually we are forced to suppress some awareness and memory of what individual men or institutions have inflicted on us and on our female peers at various points in our lives violence from our father husbands brothers or other males institutions the amnesia is organised on this micro level through the lies and reversals of the perpetrators the denials and terror of our peers and the complicity of surrounding men with the perpetrators the true stories of rapes against our sisters mother aunts grand mothers cousins and daughters will be silenced we will never understand why our aunt was alcoholic all her life or why our mother had fits of crying and nervous breakdowns every now and then or why our friend became muted after the age of 8 men will tell us they are crazy liars will instil distrust and contempt in these women we will never or rarely be told about the women who escaped the lesbians feminists or spinsters whether in school by our peers or family the amnesia is also organised by men collectively the perpetrators lies wouldn t have so much impact on us if men s violence wasn t so absolutely obliterated from discourse everywhere we go nothing in foreground reality whether written or spoken ever confirms the reality and depth of the what we re subjected to it is spookily omni absent men have monopolised the power of naming and thereby blocked our capacity to even name our experience and ourselves with their words we live in this reality of war zone under male rule dying inside and outside yet all there is to see on the surface are those tantalising fake smiles sex marriage and plastic happiness for this silence to be maintained men actively repress our re calling of the genocide and be speaking of the truth they erase all evidence of their crimes both external historical evidence and in our own psyche by reprogramming our minds they erase our culture our writings our art our discoveries our history of liberation our presence and love to ourselves in this context we have forgotten who we are before we could even know who we were amnesia is also a form of dissociation it s a coping mechanism to ongoing trauma when the violence is both unescapable and unacknowledged it is one of the many ways in which the self splinters itself for survival which is why so many of us suffer various degrees of multiple personalities from having to forget event after event life after life each time having to distance ourselves farther from who we were and reinvent a new plastic persona in the attempt to add more make up over our suffering it splinters the most traumatic parts from our conscious memory and digs them deep into the unconscious memory which then only resurfaces in cryptic ways through flashes panic attacks physical and psychic disorders cancer etc formulating the truth of men s oppression even in thought being an unthinkable crime these cryptic symptoms or outbursts are messages from ourselves to desperately try to reconnect and awaken our consciousness to break the spell of dissociation and phallic coding so we reintegrate and get away from the source of harm men these messages are there to bring the truth back into our conscious thoughts and direct our rage at men instead of against ourselves we are saying to ourselves hello i m here doing this to me is harmful i ve been hurt these rapes violations insults psychic devastation have hurt me anyway all this to say that i recently realised more than ever the importance of seeing and naming the connections and how this is really the first momentum of liberation because organised amnesia is men s primary form of psychic and therefore physical annihilation of women without consciousness there is no doing and by destroying our knowing seeing or pushing it into unconscious subliminal realms men paralyse our doing and being amnesia the obliterating of men s past and present violence and erasure of our past and present selves leads to blindly turning against women and more generally to what mary daly calls aphasia the inability to name the background reality as well as foreground fabrications and the connections among these and to apraxia the inability to act as radical feminists outercourse p 6 and 195 intersectionality just as any form of anti feminism are part of men s phallic lies and global brainwashing tactics which generate amnesia and the inward twisting of rage against ourselves and other women again to paraphrase mary daly exorcising amnesia requires acts of unforgetting and be speaking of unmasking and breaking through the foreground lies into our background presence the task of the radical feminist is to actively explicate the connections to make the reversals fragmentation destruction and genocide explicit and overt p 6 11 outercourse knowledge of patriarchal horror is compelling and expelling when a woman really faces the horror she is morally compelled to act overcome apraxia and to begin changing be witching she becomes empowered to expel the demonic embedded self censor within who has blocked her from spinning she dares to begin be witching p 197 outercourse 1 term by mary daly the sea of subliminal knowledge knowledge which is covert background knowledge that is shared by women in patriarchy outercourse p 13 background means the realm of wild reality the homeland of women s selves and of all other others the time space where auras of plants planets stars animals and all other animate beings connect wickedary by mary daly and jane caputi 2 foreground is defined as male centered and monodimensional arena where fabrication objectification and alienation takes place zone of fixed feelings perceptions behaviours the elementary world flatland wickedary by mary daly and jane caputi intersectionality part iv attractive vs destructive forces or what can we do published march 23 2014 intersectionality series male reversals men s lies our movement closed tags adriene sere flo kennedy intersectionality mary daly our task as radical feminists is to undo unlearn and un peel the workings of men s violence including how men s patterns are embedded in our psyche and to reveal them to other women so to spark our movement towards liberation we are to revert the reversals crack through the lies and myths name the horrors uncover the truths dig out the treasures of our past and present being hidden beneath and between the depths of men s dead grey layers as said in the second part women s class and status is defined by the class and status of our husband or father if we leave our male lord we re nothing however we might keep in appearance the traits and habits of those men for instance white women bear the skin colour of their male oppressors and are assimilated to their male racist culture as such women reproduce and embody this male presence as all women do with the male determinants they grew up with their cultural assimilation to white men is a forced upon mask that men have fitted on women s bodies and spirits which does not belong to women it covers who we really are and separates us from ourselves and from womenkind deliberately so assimilated and tokenised in men s clubs non feminist women afflicted by a sense of superiority towards other women are totaled and totally deluded they have been whirred by the illusion of exceptionalism blinded by male worship and frozen by the contempt directed against her sisters who supposedly haven t made it we have to understand that cultural and social racism or insensitivity from part of women is integral to our colonisation by the men who occupy us racism sexism classism any kind of condescension all are one and tied to the same anti woman package they are inseparable it s male identification racist feminism or classist feminism is an oxymoron in other words this means we cannot be feminist without wanting to exorcise all forms of male domination and subordination without seeing them as interlinked and mutually supportive of women s oppression we discover empathy and searing rage for the plight of all our sisters and that in spite of differences we are all subjected to variations of male rapism we see patriarchy as universal by identifying ourselves as women we identify to all women as women embrace each other as our people and reject male blocking of our movement convergence when woman identification fails us it means we haven t been fully touched by feminism maybe we have reached some glimmers of truth such as perceiving some unequal treatment between men and women but conserve our hope in men ascension in male clubs and haven t yet dissipated the fog obscuring the big picture when i look at intersectional articles who are they directed against women women women women women women and women all of them it is the primary distinguishing factor of intersectionality but if women are so oppressive to us what s the point of being feminist may i ask either we perceive men to be our oppressors and we re feminist or we hate these women who oppress us so much and we re misogynist but we can t have it both ways women girls and animals are the only beings we are given license to attack because it reinforces men s power we are very easy targets and scapegoats because we know deep down that women won t have any means to fight back we d never dare to confront men in the same way since it would be too dangerous by contrast it is possible to flatten or disintegrate our little self esteem and sense of self in just a few words it takes no effort to guilt trip each other because we already feel guilty for merely taking up space woman punishing is always credible and legitimate in patriarchal sado society in fact it s the only thing men allow us to do targeting women also gives a false sense of power and of activating against our perceived powerlessness sonia johnson said that we get highs from it ultimately doing so is the response of the colonised we re still colonised by men s reversals and woman hatred because we got the enemy completely wrong radical action is to stop blaming women i really understand the maddening anger of consistently going through an oppressive situation that some other women are more exempt from and this problem being ignored by them even after being told they refuse to understand or act upon it it feels like being choked slammed in the face stabbed in the heart feeling pain and anger is normal because it s disgustingly unfair i wish we all had enough money housing and access to certain resources and that everything would be justly distributed but men don t let that happen for a reason which is why freeing ourselves from men should always be our utmost priority if some women have escaped some worst forms of drudgery or torture well good for them they ve been lucky but wounding or resenting these women won t make our wounds feel any better whether the woman s fault is simply to have it less worse or to actively participate in anti woman practices shouting at blaming and fighting against such women will not change anything to alleviate eliminate the oppressive setting that causes our pain i like these insightful and humorous quotes from flo kennedy we don t say a word when madison avenue makes millions off us but we get all resentful and suspicious when somebody in the movement gets attention or makes a dime that s nigger nobility if you have to lose to prove you re a good person we won t get anywhere divide and conquer that s what they try to do to any group trying to make social change i call it d c black people are supposed to turn against puerto ricans women are supposed to turn against their mothers and mothers in law we re all supposed to compete with each other for the favors of the ruling class in the name of elitism we do a crabs in a barrel number and pull down any of our number who get public attention or a small success as long as we re into piranha ism and horizontal hostility honey we ain t going to get nowhere guilt tripping is wrong because there s no guilt to be had for being colonised by men or for the atrocities committed by men as explained in previous parts it is unfounded since we aren t responsible for patriarchy guilt is corrosive and counter liberation and the climate of fear caused by guilt tripping tactics paralyses women and increases barriers and misunderstanding instead of enhancing connectedness deepening insight what...
