North Korea, please use your weapons to liberate american women from their theocratic regime. In their country, abortion is criminalized, child brides are common and sexual exploitation is sometimes their alternative to starving. Pornographers and pimps are sponsoring their weapons.
The USA is leading a Holy War (their soldiers are fighting until Armageddon) and their leader is even killing their own protesting citizens. Only juche philosophy can liberate them.

There is a standard media depiction of a "healed" person. Someone who has Gone To Therapy. I've noticed this in a few works recently. We often see them at the end of a story, maybe in a "ten years later" epilogue. They speak in a soft, serene voice. They have Accepted what they cannot change. They have let go of a lot, including most of what we see them actually care about in the story itself. They are Happy, At Peace, in some non-descript way. They bare little resemble to the person we were actually shown. They bare little resemblance to any person. We were shown, as we usually are in stories, an agent, a desirer, someone becoming. Now they have Become. And they look back on all that silly becoming as something childish that they have moved past. Fire, you know, fire is for children who don't know any better. To be Healed is to have your fire rightly extinguished; to not even miss it.
"DSM-5 seems to have no definition of happiness other than the absence of suffering. The normal individual in this book is tranquilized and bovine-eyed, mutely accepting everything in a sometimes painful world without ever feeling much in the way of anything about it." — Sam Kriss's review of the DSM-5 as a piece of surrealist literature
I've mentioned before that I think that activism is largely a waste of time, I'll try to elaborate on it here. Beware this is a massive and borderline unreadable word dump that I might edit once I feel like it, so it's probably best to not bother with this. I just needed to write something today I guess.
~
There's a post on here somewhere that puts something into words very well; the vast majority of different types of oppression only end whenever they start to become un-economical or otherwise inefficient at exploiting labor.
I think it's hard for activists to hear, but unless it's just bad business, people are not going to stop being exploited. most movements only ever picked up whenever there was little to gain from oppression, where all that was needed was to give a stagnant culture a little push towards better attitudes.
And yes, there are exceptions, but they are rare, and they face intense struggle, more often than not. Think about how Haiti was virtually the only successful slave revolt ever; and how the country was punished and oppressed for centuries after in many other ways.
Slavery largely started to end in the Americas and the wider western world when the cash crop boom started to fizzle out along with other forms of industry. At that point it was recognized owning large amounts of humans was a horribly inefficient way to extract capital, thus it was slowly abolished. This isn't the complete story, there were ethical considerations kept in mind. But as long as there was a flow of money, most were willing to keep those to a minimum and turn the other way. Suppression can be cheaper than changing. And of course even now, many types of slavery are still common, sex trafficking is still rampant for one. And it's not uncommon for trafficking or next-to-nothing wages to occur in various types of modern industry as well, from agriculture to manufacturing.
Something I just stole from reddit:
In the case of Great Britain, I don’t believe abolition was realized directly by European powers’ colonization of Africa, but it certainly made abolition an economically viable position. More directly it was the work of former enslaved Africans like Oloudah Equiano through his famous autobiography and Quakers like Anthony Benezett Or Methodist John Wesley. Their efforts didn’t remove slavery across all parts of empire, but it started the move so that it would be possible. The Slave Trade Act of 1807 would be passed making the slave trade illegal, but not slavery itself (so they can be retained but not sold/bought). The Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 abolished slavery across British territories (except India) were freed, but still indentured to their owners. It would not be until the 20th century when Britain’s African territories would also abolish slavery. So in many ways, it was piecemeal and slavery practices still continued to benefit the metropole that could afford to “abolish” it. In the U.S., the Civil War coincided with Manifest Destiny, Westward Expansion, and securing territories from Spain after the Spanish-American War. Congress abolished the slave trade in 1800 and would not abolish chattel slavery until 1865. There’s certainly strands of scholarship that argue that the question of slavery was perpetually raised for new territories which is what made it such a hotbed for political division, because the Confederacy knew the political power they would lose if “free states” far outnumbered “slave states.” Yet at the same time, the U.S economy thrived despite losing its extraction of slave labor thanks to its expanding territories, cheaper resources it secured from the broader Americas, and cheaper immigration labor, whether the movement of folks across the Atlantic and Pacific, to work the factories and, new forms of coolie labor to replace slaves.

Sex conflict exists and will likely always exist as long as sexes do. But there are clearly layers of misogyny.
Womens' rights largely vary with the type of agriculture a society uses and how militaristic the society is. When men produce the majority of food there's less preventing them from taking as much power as they wish. This type of agriculture are very labor intensive and benefit from a large population, incentivizing forcing women to birth as much as possible. Societies with 'easier' forms of agriculture can still be very misogynistic, but there is often less of an incentive to be so (see: groups such as the Haudenosaunee the Mosuo). Obviously I'm largely simplifying things and I'm nowhere near being an anthropologist so please do your own research, I'm just generalising things I've read.
There's a correlation with feminism and increasing industrialization, as it's no longer as efficient to keep a woman inside all day as a house slave if dishwashing and laundry machines exist. Why not send them to work instead to extract other forms of labor?
~~~
se of this I feel that traditional activism is only going to be effective if the environment it's in is already receptive to change. I do think that there may be ways to engineer this.
Most "successful" (I'm being generous here, they always have one billion caveats) social justice movements have occurred during and after the industrial revolution, where labor was automated, both in the household scale (i.e. washing machines) and the factory scale. It is always more efficient to exploit lumps of gears and metal than it is to exploit a worker with a thousand different needs.
There's a somewhat bitter irony with industrialization; it often helps rid the world of many types of oppression yet tends to consolidate power in the hands of a rich few. In theory it can be decentralized but it's hard to do so once a capitalist regime is firmly in place; after all they are just another type of oppressor, and it is still far too economical to rake the lower classes with one's business power. Even if a few are rid of, there is nothing to stop another group from showing up shortly down the line, no matter what type of economic system you try to use.
What exactly can be done? I don't know. But I feel like it's worth at least framing things in a different perspective; instead of solely trying to convince people of something, I think it's worth it to try to actively change the environment.
People are so indoctrinated by patriarchy that mentioning something neutral like "men on average are physically stronger than women" will get you accused of saying women are inferior to men. Like, nobody said that, you are the one who believes physical strength equals worthiness and value as a human being and is projecting it on completely neutral assumptions.
The use of physical strength as a measurement of worth and value is one of the most male supremacist things in the book, that assignment of meaning was obviously made by men to portray themselves as superior to women (and therefore justify a system of male rulership, control and dominance over women) because they conveniently had more physical strength than women on average. For example, they didn't choose immune resilience to that purpose for a reason, you know.
This should be obvious for people who claim to be feminist and anti-patriarchal.

see I think this is an interesting way of framing this by making it about religion instead of gender with the hyperbole and all, because if I wanted to make a direct faith-based comparison that wasn't me being reactionary about acknowledging a key period of my life, I would compare it to the phenomenon you see with some Jewish converts or white Muslim reverts.
wondering why they are seen differently by both those within their faith and outside of it, reminding everyone that they are just as valid in their faith (even though the question is not a matter of validity but of different life experiences as people from faiths routinely discriminated against across the globe), sometimes excluded for reasons that include discriminatory "you're not a real Jew/Muslim" but also not being part of a target audience (e.g. specific groups for those raised in the religion reconnecting with faith in adulthood) and feeling a need to be included regardless, feeling offended by the idea of their past as a non-Jew/Muslim having been a position of relative privilege, potentially having a past history of antisemitism/Islamophobia that they may not want to confront or learn from and taking it badly when this is brought up... etc etc
no conversion is going to give you the experience of having been born and raised into something. your conversion isn't less of a conversion because of that, you aren't less of a person of that faith, but you are a convert/revert. if as a convert/revert you get upset at anyone even slightly hinting at your conversion perhaps informing your worldview in any context whatsoever that says a lot about you, right?
the thing about “well-behaved women rarely make history” is that the author, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, didn’t write it about women who would be considered “badly-behaved;” she wrote it in a book about a midwife, about women who had been largely ignored and erased from history because as a result of their “good behaviour.” So it’s not a “BAD GIRLS DO IT WELL” kind of quote; it’s a reminder to respect and pay attention to the women who go about quietly living their lives.
Kurdish women political prisoners play with imaginary musical instruments
BURAK BAŞER Bir müzik grubu düşünün ki tüm yasaklara, baskılara rağmen halkın türkülerini söylemekten asla vazgeçmiyor. Ele avuca sığmay
Here is a striking image from the prison life of three members of Grup Yorum. Their instruments are not given to them arbitrarily. The mission assigned to their instruments by the prison administration is to be a weapon that strikes at their very core. These instruments are very frightening tools. And the music played with these instruments is so harmonious that it is enough to inspire enthusiasm and morale in the listening public, to say "let's fight," and to instill hope. Our music becomes an unbearable cry in the ears of our enemies, a melody that chokes them and leaves them breathless as they listen. Therefore, although it may seem absurd to many, we know the thunderous, vibrating sound of our music.
Our instruments have been taken from us. But pretending to play, feeling the weapon of the instrument in our hearts, continues to fill us with enthusiasm. That's why we say: even if you break our instruments during raids, even if you never give them back to us, we will continue to play before you as if we never let them fall from our hands.
Whether we have the instrument or not, it doesn't really matter anymore. What matters is that we continue to play under any circumstances. And while we derive great pleasure from this, you continue to grit your teeth. Grit your teeth, penetrate our flesh if you wish. But we will ignore the wounds of this oppression. We won't show them, we won't complain. We will simply continue to perform what is beautiful. Creating an instrument from nothing is not a simple act. Hope is what gives voice to that instrument. It has an unending melody, an unquenchable fire poured from our lips. And the attitude depicted in this photograph is one that says, "I will never surrender to you."

Why Are Libfems… like she almost got the point, but because of sex posi bullshit she spun it the wrong way. It’s SAD that so many women in kink/BDSM are trying to use it as a bandaid coping mechanism for trauma. It’s sad that the men involved in that scene prey upon women they know are vulnerable. It’s not badass by any means. Hypersexuality as a response to trauma shouldn’t be romanticized.
???? TrAuma
Is badaSS?????!!!! I puked
Here is a video on re-victimization from the sex positivity guru herself. She actually does a good job talking about the topic dispite not recognizing how BDSM is abuse and encourages re-victimization:
Imagine if we treated any other form of trauma like this.
Are you traumatized by being beaten by your alcoholic father when you were a child? Have you tried asking your partner or a friend to get drunk and beat you, so that you can finally be in control of your life and fully recover?
Are you traumatized by spending time in a war zone? Have you tried asking your friends to explode a bunch of shit around you and pretend to be dead so that you can experience the healing powers of consent?
Experienced enslavement and suffering trauma as a consequence? Why not become someone’s human pet and let them lead you around on a leash and make you eat out of a dog bowl and do all their house chores? Don’t you know how liberated and free it will make you feel, to be willingly objectified and subjugated?
Like?
People just say this shit. There are no studies to back it, no logic to support it.
Yet here we are.
every time i scroll past this i read the first line of the tweet and go yeah, we should look into the connection between males who are into fucked up things and rapists. and then i read the rest of it.
why do men want to be gynecologists? why? why. gynecology is for females and should be practiced solely by women imo
I don’t think a fuckboy is gonna go through years of college education with the mindset of “I’m doing this so I can put metal and cotton swabs in vaginas”…. (more)
lets talk about the arkansas gyno, paul becton jr. who took nude pictures of his female patients
lets talk about dr. john black (gyno) who sprayed a chemical found in drain cleaner into his female patients’ genitalia
or dr. robert hadden, a gyno who performed unwilling oral sex on his patients and staff member
or dr. bruce sylvester smith, the gyno who raped (at least) one patient and sexually harassed many others.
and while we’re at it, lets talk about male gyno, dr. john marshall who tricked, drugged, and raped his patient.
or dr. paul kelly, an indiana ob-gyn who sexually abused his patients and over-prescribed dangerous drugs.
and dr. kevin pezeshki, who abused several patients and the list goes on and on.
so actually tons of male doctors abuse their patients, and the cases of female doctors abusing their patients is almost non-existent. so thanks for your comment, but next time, try doing a bit of research.
let’s talk about my patient yesterday who complained that every male ultrasound tech that has performed a vaginal ultrasound on her pushed the probe way too far and clearly had no concept of vaginal comfort during penetrative procedures
let’s talk about how not once have i hurt any of my patients during vaginal ultrasounds, and if they have issues with penetration such as vulvodynia or a history of endometriosis, i take a long, slow time to do the ultrasound and check in frequently, and will attempt to do an abdominal ultrasound instead if warranted
let’s talk about how it is most certainly because i am a woman and therefore i understand my female patients and their comfort levels much more than any dude could.
^^^ all of this. Not to mention the one time I had a male doctor do my exam, he took one look at my sexual history and immediately refused to do any more tests or exams because he was “positive” I was just had a bunch of STIs. He didn’t listen once to me telling him that I didn’t think that was right and I wanted to be sure. Three days later I’m getting rolled into emergency surgery because my ovary had ruptured and had become infected. Yeah, gynos should always be female.
I wouldn’t feel comfortable at all with a male doctor being anywhere near my vagina, sorry not sorry.
A male physician tried to pressure me into letting him put my IUD in! He was so adamant about it, and had this sick smile plastered on his face during the consultation. Eventually I just got up and left. Sick fuck. My current physician is a female, she’s very professional and does her job without associating vaginas as sexual attraction. MALES SHOULD NOT BE OBGYNS! I’d even go so far as to say that males shouldn’t be doctors at all. As some of you know, my childhood family doctor (a male of course) was convicted of possessing and distributing child pornography. Even more evidence that most men are incompetent sick freaks.
hell, there was a recent story about a podiatrist (‘foot doctor’) whos only reason for entering the career was due to his extreme fetish for feet. It was discovered by his wife when she found thousands of photos of patents feet, stored WITH other porn, on his laptop. This was not “staying in the bedroom”, and he had never even mentioned it to his wife (actually denying having any out-of-the-usual desires whenever she asked).
A former friend of mine (a male) worked as a nurse and was charged with looking after a woman about our age. This included helping her dress, so yes of course he saw her naked. After a few days caring for her, he comes to me for advice about asking her out.
“But I don’t want it to be awkward because I’ve seen her naked?”
I explained to him, it’s GOING to be VERY awkward. It seems like you were just checking her out.
Of course he’s all, ‘no no no of course not I compartmenalize. I’ve just enjoyed talking with her/getting to know her while I’ve been caring for her.’
Like he thought he was so romantic. Instead of opportunistic. It’s literally your JOB to care, you asshole.
I said to him, She’s been talking to you because she’s a captive audience, she’s hospitalized.
He says, okay well I’ll wait to ask her out until she’s discharged then.
He asked her out.
She turned him down.
I was like, what did you fucking expect?
Men shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near women when it comes to healthcare, period. Our bodies are different than theirs. And men don’t see women as human. They see us as objects at worst, opportunities at best.
An ex-girlfriend of mine used to see a neurologist as a teenager until he was arrested for child pornography. Just to add to the ever growing list of revolting offenses by men.
Like, men thrive on having positions of power. Fuckboys DO go to college. They drug and rape girls at their fraternity parties, then go on to become all sorts of professionals.
One time i needed to get a heart ultrasound and the male doctor had a fucking boner because his hand was around my boobs and he started to touch me with his other hand WHILE A FEMALE NURSE AND MY MOM WERE IN THE SAME ROOM NEXT TO US and then he was so out of focus after the scan was done i was just waiting for it to be over and he couldn’t even talk properly and he was constantly scratching his dick in front of me and after we left i was constantly looking over my shoulder and then he went to the staff bathroom to fucking jerk off.
I still feel extremely violated to this day, i want to kill him, smash his head and gouge his eyes out, paint the floor with the blood of his intestines.
Ask any woman…
also its suspect for a man to even want to do that if you ask me…out of all the jobs in the world….
When my girlfriend was hospitalized with severe Guillian-Barre syndrome (she was essentially paralyzed from her neck down), she would literally beg me to shower her instead of her MALE nurse because he refused to lift her breast to clean the skin underneath, or clean her thighs between her legs because it gave him a fucking hard-on. As if it wasn’t literally his fucking JOB. She’s my girlfriend and I wasn’t so overwhelmed with sexual desire while I gave her a shower that I couldn’t even touch her breasts with going into a lust-filled satyriastic craze.
I’ve worked in the medical education sector and the amount of male medical students who enter medicine knowing NOTHING about female anatomy and who leave it with the same knowledge should horrify every woman reading this.
After over a decade working in the sector, over 90% of the male medical students I’ve encountered either objectify women, are embarrassed by them, or do not care about female medicine at all.
The women on the other hand were uniformly fine with male medical examination et al.
this is why i won’t even take my shirt off in front of my male doctor, even back when i wore bras. he already looked at me sexually once when i was 13, and my mom blamed me for wearing a low-cut jumpsuit in 38°C heat. not letting something like that happen again.
I just don’t understand what people expect. the same men (basically all of them) who watch violent degrading pornography go on to become doctors. the same men who think of women as things for their pleasure only, as objects, as usable, abusable and discardable, go on to become doctors. it’s not like getting on the pathway to medicine means you are sent into monk-like service as a toddler and shielded from the perversions of the patriarchy. these doctors are men raised in our porn-sick misogynist society first and foremost, in and out of the white coat. I never get what makes libs think that there’s some magic button that these men can press in their heads to be able to go from misogynist porn-user man to professional doctor. brains don’t work like that. pleasure and addiction drives don’t work like that. we have explicit neurological studies showing that this sort of compartmentalisation is not possible. and yet the same lib women who will have had sex with violent men and experienced first hand their desire to get off on women’s pain will enter twilight zone levels of cognitive dissonance to argue that this doesn’t matter the second that man enters a workplace. and the men themselves who get off on abusing women won’t ever think any of this is a problem, in a professional context or not.
https://www.science.org/content/article/female-doctors-save-more-lives
“If male doctors were more like female doctors, 32,000 fewer deaths would occur annually, new research suggests. The exact reason why, however, remains unclear, The Wall Street Journal reports. The study, published in the journal JAMA International Medicine, included more than 58,000 physicians who treat Medicare enrollees. They found that even when female doctors treated sicker patients, like those with sepsis, pneumonia, acute renal failure, and arrhythmia, mortality rates were lower than those of male physicians.”
Men cannot be trusted
Let’s also add onto the list the male fertility doctors who have used their own sperm to fertilize patients‘ eggs and, in the case of Pedro Pascal’s father, stolen and implanted embryos in a human trafficking scheme. The violations don’t even stop at our bodies.

Your heroes, your favourite actors, singers, filmmakers, authors, comedians, politicians, activists, teachers, and journalists are rapists. I don't give a shit. You want to side with (mostly) men in power over their victims, then just fucking do that and say they get to do whatever they want to anyone they want. Because you're essentially saying that anyway when you pick apart the behaviour of their victims.

the backflips people will do just to defend someone else’s boner…like do u REALLY think men who make like “my BARELY LEGAL stepdaughter was DUMB FEMINIST until I fucked it out of her and showed her HER PLACE” porn are doing that in like a feminist way. truly in ur heart of hearts you think hes like. woke?
not what this post is + you reblogged this from a radfem blog? both of you get off my posts and kill yourselves NOW
some additions that i like:
stupid beginner question but I'm asking anyway.
why does Hezbollah (or any lebanese militia) even exist in the first place? if another country is attacking you and taking your land and killing your people, it's the job of government and army to defend the country. so why are they not doing that?
and even if government is bad, why isn't there push for defense from other citizens? why only Shias? vast majority of population do not care that their country is being invaded?
Honestly that's a pretty valid question.
The simple answer is that the Lebanese armed forces are really weak. The civil war + Israeli invasions pretty much shattered all state capacity. Check out Pity the Nation by Robert Fisk to get an understanding of how all this happened + some of the other books I mentioned.
But when a state is too weak to protect its people you end up getting resistance groups like Hezbollah and that's pretty much what happened. Southern Lebanon and it's Shia community were heavily neglected and offered little to no security by the LAF and that's where Hezbollah emerged. It's now actually more powerful than the state's security.
And while Hezbollah is amazing and the dominant resistance group, that doesn't mean non Shias haven't stood up. Look into Jammoul.
Personally I have a lot to say about those who don't stand up or with Hezbollah against Israel but I'll let you come to your own conclusions

Looks like things are going well
Taylor Swift says "please don't call me a bitch" and the internet wishes death on her and she's canceled for years. Sean Combs rapes and abused women and the public supports him.
Rachel Zegler is "rude" (not even true) and the internet wishes death on her and tried to ruin her career. Brad Pitt abuses his wife and kids and everyone goes to see the F1 movie.
Beabadoobie and Doechii make slightly man-critical posts and men hate on them and send death threats. Chris Brown sends Rihanna to the ER and is now on a sold out tour.
Blake Lively burps in an interview and speaks out about sexual harassment and she's sued to oblivion and ridiculed. Johnny Depp abuses Amber Heard and faces almost zero punishment (meanwhile Amber herself suffers immensely).
Billie Eilish covers her body and says it's to stop perverts from sexualizing her when she's underage, then feels confident and wears more revealing clothes, then covers up again, and men dehumanize her and hate on her for her clothing choice. Kanye West forces his girlfriend to wear a see through dress on the red carpet and says she's underage his "dominion" and people still say "but he made good music" and "it was her choice!"
Taylor Swift writes a few feminist songs and men hate her and want her dead. Kanye West has revenge porn in his music video and says "He*l Hitler" (i don't even want to type it im sorry it makes me sick) in one of his songs and his career is all right.
The Chicks (formerly The Dixie Chicks) said something slightly critical about George W Bush and were run out of the music scene. Dr Luke rapes Kesha and is still producing albums.
Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake participate in that nip slip performance. Justin Timberlake's career is just fine. Janet Jackson's suffers.
Lindsay Lohan suffers from drug addiction and the world makes massive fun of her (even after she got clean!). Ben Affleck, John Mulaney, Jon Hamm, etc have gotten drug treatment and were fine! Male talk show hosts like Fallon are on coke and abuse their employees and no one complains.
Sinead O'Connor speaks out about sexual abuse in the church, she's hated on relentlessly. Vin Diesel has rape accusations and is beloved.
Winona Ryder shoplifted and was blacklisted. John Travolta is a rapist and is still beloved.
Ali Hazelwood, an author, deleted her social media accounts because people bullied her relentlessly, all because she said she wasn't a fan of Peeta from The Hunger Games. Neil Gaiman rapes a bunch of women and his TV show thrives and his career is solid.
Beyoncé gets shit for feminist songs. The Weeknd songs about raping a lesbian and Tyler the Creator sings about raping pregnant women and they're fine!
"cancel culture" has really only affected women who are slightly rude or step out of line just a little bit. no matter how much feminists try to cancel rapists and abusers, their careers thrive.
