And I sure hope you have the support you need.<br /><br />What I'm hearing from you about the oppression of women isn't surprising and points out that people have very different understandings of what gender is. I recommend, regardless of where you live, contacting Vancouver Rape Relief as they have been very consistent and successful--including in the courts--at defending their politic right to focus on women meaning female adults raised in patriarchy. They are as solid on this as any organization I know. They have LOTS of resources too: https://www.rapereliefshelter.bc.ca/<br /><br />There's plenty written about what's misogynistic and anti-feminist about liberal queer politics, too. Regardless of one's sexual orientation, there is a four-part blog post series that unpacks several dimensions of the problem with some queer perspectives on women and feminism. Here's the website addresses to the first of the four by Claire at the Sister OutRider blog: https://sisteroutrider.wordpress.com/2017/02/07/sex-gender-and-the-new-essentialism/<br /><br />I hope these resources are helpful to you. <3Julian Realhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02933612851144914687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744114065733119575.post-27376482392170554742020-07-05T21:06:42.783-04:002020-07-05T21:06:42.783-04:00I just found your blog and am greatly enjoying rea...I just found your blog and am greatly enjoying reading. Your writing is wonderful.<br /><br />I was googling looking for readings,<br />trying to figure out what on earth I am encountering, as a female, with GNC colleagues 20 years my junior telling me there’s no such thing as “women’s rights” or oppression of specifically “women”. <br /><br />I was surprised and happy to see this post about Lundy Bancroft. I rarely post anonymously; only doing so now as I want to endorse the book from my perspective as a person who survived a violent, interpersonally abusive man. Another of Bancroft’s books, written for friends and allies of women in that position, is also excellent.<br /><br />Thank you!Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744114065733119575.post-27331083524200111512020-06-18T17:20:02.582-04:002020-06-18T17:20:02.582-04:00The following comment is the rest of my precedent ...The following comment is the rest of my precedent one (even thoughI feel like manually approving what comments appear on the page is a bit of censorship but ok)<br />45. Yes but you are still getting called a dumb motherfucker. People use feminine words to talk to women because they are women. It's the principle of insult, like you will call a woman a bitch but a man a son of a bitch, it's logical (slut shaming though, but again, the principle of insults).<br />46. Female privilege. Women can wear almost anything they want, besides maybe tuxedos, without being judges. Men can't however wear skirts, dresses, or any "feminine" clothes without people questioning their masculinity. Women hae the priviledge of not realizing wearing a skirt or pants is a priviledge (in western society at least).<br />48. Because men have a restricted range of outfits. Of course you can come to any fancy dinner wih the same suit because wearing anything else would be inappropriate.<br />66. Women can kiss men without getting beaten up... if it's about not being able to kiss women, men can't kiss men either, I'm not sure to understand...<br />70. Is that a privilege ? Gay sex is condemn, do yo mean men getting raped by penetration of their orifices is recognized as a rape ? It's true, but non penetrative rape isn't and it's much more frequent...<br />71. Well yeah since heteronormative relationships are expected to be with a penetrative men and a penetrated woman. Men can also spend their entire life without being penetrated, and women can spend their entire life without penetrated someone, which is a shame because it's nice. And women weren't born with a sign reading "cum on me" on their forehead. <br />79. Don't buy them then. You have the privilege to have a large choice of clothing, take advantage of it<br />86. Race problem ? Not sexist <br />88. Having a dick in common is not enough to identify with a person. At all. I don't think women identify to Hillary Clinton because they have a vagina.<br />90. Capitalism problem, not man privilege.<br />91. What ? Women can do this as well. And no. They face charges unles they are part of the influencing elite (like movie producers)<br />92. Huge privilege to be expected to be violent and disturbing and not calm and quiet<br />93. What ? Where do you live, in Somalia ? Almost no man will ever tell you "wanna rape her ? yeah go ahead she's here for that" or if this is true then wtf are even the US<br />95. In fact most guys don't talk about their feelings because they aren't expected to show them. Women tend to speak more freely and openly about their sexuality than men. (my experience, and personal experience is not a reliable source of proofs)<br />96. There are two options when you make a rape joke, a with any other kind of dark humor like racist or homophobic jokes : either the people you're with know you well and know that it's just a joke and that you don't mean it, or you get called a creepy motherfucker. Nothing to do with gender. You don't get called sexist by making a rape joke, you just get called an asshole.<br />98. Absolutely false. It doesn't get called "hysteria" it gets called toxic masculinity, masculinism or fascism<br />99. Just like some feminist do : if you live your whole life without encountering difference, you will never get new experiences and will just be weaker (just like inbreeding makes kids weaker by the lack of new genes)<br />It has been twelve years so your opinion may have changed but still, as I told you about new experiences, I think getting new thoughts on this article can't be bad for the sake of argumentation and reflexion :) have a nice day ! <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744114065733119575.post-1849703688882560082020-06-18T17:18:54.149-04:002020-06-18T17:18:54.149-04:00Hi. I doubt anyone will ever see this but I will a...Hi. I doubt anyone will ever see this but I will add my opinion of a cisgender queer white atheist first world but not English speaking men, on the points I want to add nuances. The ones I don't adress are fine for me. <br />2. Well it is since you say that men are more likely to be hired. Not by the majority though<br />4. It is since men are expected to accomplish something<br />5. No sexual harassment is negligible. I agree it is super low but saying is negligible is oppressing a minority which is not nice.<br />7. Same as 5.<br />10. Yes it will since men are traditionnaly expected to provide for their family. It's just in a different way<br />12. Depends on the career. I fthe guy works on a boat and only comes home 2 weeks a year, people will not see it nicely<br />17. "heroes" for boys are extremely stereotypical and convey a false idea of the male body and occupation (superman, super muscular soldiers...)<br />18. Girls are often advantaged because boys are seen as loud and disturbing whereas girl are seen as more serious, mature and calm. So no<br />20. Class and racism problem, not sexism. There are plenty of women on the tv, a bit less as men though<br />24. Men who sleep with a lot of people will usually be not well considered either, just not in the same way<br />26. Priorities. Most of men just don't care, women can do the same<br />28. No. Absolutely not. Bald or fat men have zero chance, very skinny guys have a bit more but not much. Short guys have it hard too. There is a "beautiful" man trope of the tall, muscular and determined mman just as a trope of skinny but curvy women. Fat or flat women have it hard but they're not alone. And feminine guys are as much absent of the media as butch women if not more.<br />29. Loud, agressive men will be called dumb motherfuckers. Men don't have a "be loud and annoying pass".<br />30. What ? What violence are you talking about ? When men try to adress men issues, they are rejected. <br />31. Because "man" was usually used as a synonym of human. And most lanuages on earth use genders for every single noun so yeah, we cope with it.<br />40. There are plenty of sexualized images of men in public spaces, though less than women. And mainstream pornography objectifies men too. Think about how often you see the guy's face. We're not a penis with legs.<br />41. No because underweight guys are not well seen and we are expected to have pounds of muscle. But women aren't expected to be underweight. To be underweight or not is a question of metabolism, not appearance. You can be skinny and be fine, you can have nice curves and be fine, you can be overweight, you can be anorexic, however the last two imply eventual health issues.<br />42. It happens more frequently than thought because like women are rejected when they try to confess a rape, men are taught to "be a man" and female to male agressions are laughed at.<br />43. Women have the privilege of being unaware of their privileges (not being drafted, lower suicide rates, death in workplace rate, dangerous jobs rate, manual job rates, higher degrees of education, rate of child custody, lower sentences, emphasis on breast cancer whereas prostate cancer is forgotten, etc)<br />44. True but that doesn't mean men aren't judged when they curse<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744114065733119575.post-29601327742481469282020-04-24T17:54:49.190-04:002020-04-24T17:54:49.190-04:00Thank you, Judith.

From men who simply did not rape,hit,or infantilize women, to consistent and outspoken male allies - only a context of oppression gives their non-conformity the gloss of superiority. <br /><br />[This is a more easily corrected form of the same astigmatism that makes everyone hold women who, say, legislate against women, more accountable than men.]<br /><br />There are, of course, exceptional human beings. Charismatic leaders of every stripe, dedicated social reformers who acquire enough attention or agency to affect some degree of change, activists who affect what people can see and understand : for better or worse these are exceptional people. Skills, intelligence, ambition, & charisma are neutral powers.<br /><br />Dworkin and Stoltenberg were exceptional people promoting the kind of awareness that changes not minds but imaginations - in this case, awareness of the female condition.<br /><br />Feminism is aimed at the collective imagination of an entire species arrested at a evolutionary stage which threatens its survival.<br /><br />Sorry. Anyway, there is nothing exceptional about Stoltenberg’s energy now.<br /><br />But he is an exceptional, singular, opportunist - trading on his unique history, the cache of inevitable perception as “an exceptional man,” <br />... and most of all speaking with perverse “authority by association” for Andrea Dworkin.<br /><br />Reimagining, reframing, twisting the essence of a woman who lived and spoke and fought from the every day ground zero rubble of female lives in patriarchy, its sexual entertainment, publishing, and marketing industries ...<br /><br />He is the personification of the misogynist betrayal and cooptation of feminism -<br />preaching the seductive malignancy of gender fundamentalism from a stolen pulpit.<br /><br />All in all, an unexceptionally corrupt performance. <br /><br />Dworkin’s name is the *only* thing he brings to the party: slandering her name is the only distinguishing feature.<br /><br />That can only offend those with genuine respect for her work, so maybe we’re not so much being bated by his first Transevangelist sermon, but overhearing his maiden speech in the House of Lords.<br /><br />judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09248868178937496655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744114065733119575.post-71310961648257704912020-04-22T19:56:56.564-04:002020-04-22T19:56:56.564-04:00With sincere apologies, Mandy, for the extremely d...With sincere apologies, Mandy, for the extremely delayed read and posting of your comment.
