I was raised in part by #women who identified as radical #lesbian #feminists. By radical they meant advocating for the first battered women’s shelters and the like mostly (ie not dogmatists). The next gen of #academic feminists smeared them as not being as into #diversity as they should be. These gatekeepers really destroyed the #grassroots nature of this #culture. I didn’t really challenge these power #academics but knew they had it at least partly wrong and that they were more out of touch.

"We come away with a clear blueprint for change – replete with cautionary tales – as we face new challenges to women’s freedom and equality. The #Women of NOW can show today’s #feminists the path forward. It is a must-read #book
#Feminist scholar Sara Ahmed has observed that anti-trans #feminists rely on a bit of rhetorical sleight of hand: endlessly concerned about the erasure of #feminism, and constantly given a platform to speak on it, they rely on widespread #ignorance of feminist #theory and #history in order to be taken seriously, perpetuating the very erasure they claim to mourn. #Lesbian and feminist history are, of course, intimately intertwined.

Coach o #Spanish men's nat. team begged 4 forgiveness Friday 4 applauding claim by #LuisRubiales that he was victim of smear campaign from “false #feminists” following uproar after kissing player on the lips at #WomensWorldCup.
“I don’t think I have 2 resign, I think I have 2 ask 4 forgiveness," #LuisDeLaFuente said in #Madrid in first public appearance since Rubiales kissed #JenniHermoso after the final in #Sydney, #Australia. “I made an inexcusable human error.”

Older women protest for their power over the media-broadcast misogyny of Donald Trump with Pussy Hats and a sign that says, "Old Pussies Rise Up and Resist"

The success of Biden’s policies both at home & abroad has pushed the #Republican Party into an existential crisis. Since the years of #Reagan, the Movement Conservatives who wanted to destroy the New Deal state recognized that they only way they could win voters in order to slash #taxes for the #wealthy & cut back popular #Social problems was by whipping up social issues to convince voters tht #Black #Americans, #bipoc, or #feminists, wanted a #govt handouts, undermining America.

The history of political organising among marginalised communities in the #UK shows us the value of nurturing networks.
What the #Black #feminists who resisted state violence can teach us about #care.

Reminder that #TERF is a misnomer: there can be no such thing as a "trans exclusionary #feminist", because #feminism by nature cannot exclude any expression of #gender or lack thereof.
The more accurate acronym is #FART: "Feminism Appropriating #Ractionary #Transphobe", because in reality, these are not #feminists, but transphobes appropriating feminism.

In the usual case of #feminist #doubleStandards (if they had any standards).
We can't blame female victims for sexual #assault, but male inmates deserve their #rape from female guards.
"Last year, the Department of #Justice completed its study of sexual abuse in adult prisons and juvenile facilities. It wasn’t a happy time for #feminists. The studies showed that most of the #SexualAbuse of #inmates is committed by guards and most of that is committed by female guards."

"#Trans #women will never be #free until #people stop having strong emotions about #penises. Like we, as a #society, have got to stop caring about dicks! #Dicks have to stop #symbolizing #maleness, #obviously, but they also have to stop symbolizing #power, #dominance, #sexual agency and #aggression, #violence, and even #sex itself. Like trans women can’t be free if the very conceptual presence of a penis represents an intrusion(!) of unwanted(!) sexuality(!) in public life. Like that’s why trans women are abhorrent to both #male #chauvinists and #radical #feminists, #because both groups have extremely strong feelings about what a penis *represents*, and find the conceptual and actual presence of a woman with a penis to be simultaneously vile and nonsensical because they’ve loaded so much symbolic baggage onto both women and penises.
Anyway dicks are totally neutral #body parts and seeing a dick, or a bulge in a swimsuit, or simply knowing that there’s a dick somewhere in the same bathroom as you isn’t harmful or violent"

I went on a date recently and something my date said bothered me very much: He talked about his mother lovingly, praising her incessantly while in the same breath, speaking of an ex-girlfriend, whom he had admitted to putting his hands on her neck to choke her out of rage. The quickness to revisit a past relationship with a new person (me) then admitting to violence, I quickly became repelled. How could a person speak so kindly about his mother then in turn talk about harming other women... I couldn't help but think of the character of Mr.Bates from the classic thriller Psycho, who seemed to adore his mother, but commit harm and murder on his female motel guests.
Taking a page from the below book, it made complete sense, but also the cycles of abuse perpetuated socially in a nuclear family-centric society that often punches down, continuing the legacy of trauma. Domestic violence is never okay, but societal violence norms aren't either. Further evidence patriarchy is harm and we all need to be #feminists
