"Our work of love should be to reclaim masculinity and not allow it to be held hostage to patriarchal domination. There is a creative, life-sustaining, life-enhancing place for the masculine in a non-dominator culture. And those of us committed to ending patriarchy can touch the hearts of real men where they live, not by demanding that they give up manhood or maleness, but by asking that they allow its meaning to be transformed, that they become disloyal to patriarchal masculinity in order to find a place for the masculine that does not make it synonymous with domination or the will to do violence."

"In contrast, the sexual violence visited upon African American women has historically carried no public name, garnered no significant public censure, and has been seen as a crosscutting gender issue that diverts Black politics from its real job of fighting racism. Black women were raped, yet their pain and suffering remained largely invisible. Whereas lynching (racism) was public spectacle, rape (sexism) signaled private humiliation."

When was the last time white feminists were mad that black men in the US make 74¢ on the white man’s dollar?
I guess around the same time as white Occupiers were outraged about a white unemployment rate that is high but still less than half the black unemployment rate i.e. never.
I’m going through labor statistics and making posters. Ready to blow up some one dimensional bullshit.
can you please make them reblogable?

"The concept of “accessibility” often drives me nuts. Because it contains so many assumptions. It assumes Valenti is better than Butler because she is accessible to people who don’t have theory degrees (which, let me say: I heard this argument most often from white women’s studies majors, which, uh, SHUT UP AND DO YR HOMEWORK NO ONE LIKES YOU STOP). It assumes that Valenti is accessible. Because this concept of “accessibility” isn’t actually about providing access to outlets/languages/bodies of thinking to people who don’t have that access. It’s not about translating, it’s not about fighting ableism, it’s not about letting people talk about how Ariel Levy* is a transphobic pig, it’s not about pooling resources to help poor women access media, it’s not about promoting Feminism FOR REAL**. Because “accessibility” is so often not about access as much as it’s about mainstreaming a voice. Ultimately, this promotion of Valenti-style stuff amounts not to making stuff less alienating to the ~uneducated feminists/marginalized people. It amounts more to streamlining the Valenti-voice into a cohesive, white, tv-friendly brand of “feminism."

"Another criticism is that FFF is selling the idea that feminism is cool. Apparently this is bad, because feminism is supposed to be totally serious, and any attempt to make feminism an identity or anything other than a radical anti-capitalist movement is anti-feminist and dumb. Feminism, apparently, is not about making your life easier, it’s about wiping off that lipstick and looking grim and radical, damn it! A recognition that feminism can actually make your life better and that’s pretty cool is “feel-good feminism,” and Lord knows we can’t have that."

Gah. Please don’t let her become a huge popular thing again. I’m all for women’s rights, but the SCUM manifesto is half the reason a lot of people I know don’t take feminism seriously. There is a HUGE difference between equal rights and Female Domination, and anyone who would fight for equal rights will encounter barriers put up by this woman and her psychobabble ramblings. She was insane - she argued men were genetically inferior and “unfit for even stud service,” for nazi-style elimination of the male gender, and for an end to capitalism. She shot Warhol and killed his free-hearted creativity (and with him, stopped the pop art movement), said transgendered women were men with pussy envy and should be treated as such, and that we should overthrow the government and install “automation into every system.”
Ladies - she is the reason when you use the word feminism that many men think “feminazi.” Feminism, women’s rights - fuck it, equality was set back YEARS by this woman’s insanity. She is not a hero. She is not a laudable anarchist who fought the good fight. She is the devil as much as any homophobic church, any racist radio host, and any teenage bully. She destroys our communities and slows the fight for civil rights, not with picket signs and genderphobic/homophobic laws but like a parasite - from within.

“We were all whip-smart, quirky, and intense, but none of us wanted to call ourselves feminist….. That changed for me the day that Amy Richards and Jennifer Baumgardner showed up on the third floor of Barnard Hall to give a talk on their new book Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and the Future. Amy was plucky and compact, smart without an ounce of pretension, a no-nonsense beauty. Jennifer was her opposite — long and sinewy, bright blond, and yes, wearing fishnet stockings. They were besties, taking over the world with totally fresh feminist analysis. This wasn’t the swishy-skirt feminism that my mom had manifested at her once-a-month women’s groups. This was contemporary, witty, brash, even a little sexy. This was who I wanted to be.” —Courtney Martin, “Those Beliefs Look Good on You”
All of this crap makes me sick.

"In a bizarre way, Thatcher’s “feminism” was prescient in that today’s popular feminism, with its celebration of individual empowerment and personal choices, indeed makes Thatcher a Third Wave feminist success story. The movie celebrates her tough decisions, and her obstinate agency, whatever the consequences. Similarly, today’s feminism-lite is all about the elite women who get to enjoy the goodies that capitalism hands out to a few of us, devoid of any political understanding of how economic, political and legal institutions operate to limit the life chances of poor white women and women of color. These elite women run the mainstream blogs, journals and publishing houses, and it is their experiences that become normalized and celebrated as feminism."

"Another principle which grows out of the concept of a tradition and which would also help to strengthen this tradition would be for the critic to look first for precedents and insights in interpretation within the works of other Black women. In other words she would think and write out of her own identity and not try to graft the ideas or methodologies of white/male literary thought upon the precious materials of Black women’s art. Black feminist criticism would by definition be highly innovative, embodying the daring spirit of the works themselves. The Black feminist critic would be constantly aware of the political implications of her work and would assert the connections bettween it and the political situation of all Black women. Logically developed, Black feminist criticism would owe its existence to a Black feminist movement while at the same time contributing ideas that women in the movement could use."
