I'm usually a firm believer in reading things one disagrees with, but, in this particular instance, I have to strongly recommend not bothering with Louise Perry's The Case Against the Sexual Revolution. It's not only poorly written and cited (most of the citations are news articles, in fact), but full of sometimes reactionary, sometimes contradictory, anti-female arguments. For example, she cautions against conflating nature and nurture, but then goes on to argue that some women are biologically inclined to find abuse arousing (uncited) and that women are biologically more receptive to grooming (cites an anthropologist).
#she also refers to an aborted foetus as an abortion of an 'unborn baby' at one point#and argues that monogamous marriage with the male breadwinner and the female mother-carer is the best family structure at another#and she's EXTREMELY dismissive of communal child-rearing or opting out of child-having entirely ('bc firestone did and died alone')#and she says that chivalry isn't a bad thing BUT CHIVALRY DOESN'T MEAN WHAT SHE THINKS IT MEANS#she's not wrong about the sexual revolution being bad for women or on prostitution or pornography#but she's wrong on pretty much everything else#radblr#radfem safe#the case against the sexual revolution

the funniest thing about modern leftists is they think bigotry is self aware. they think anti semetism is going “i hate jews” instead of say, double standards. they think misogyny is going “i hate women” instead of say, subconciously dismissing women when they speak
bad people dont think theyre bad people.

do you think that a certain genre of queer person is so obsessively weird about pride flag discourse becuase their flags fill the gaping hole in their personality where a hogwarts house used to be

we have "main character syndrome" and "movie brain" to describe people who think the world revolves around them or the world works like the movies but i think we need a new term called "headline brain" which probably can describe 90% of the loud posters on this web sight: people who read a headline and not the content of the article and base their activism on just the info gathered from headlines

I can't take younger people serious online because you can tell by their replies to you, they really can't read. They know words, but there's no comprehension and they never pick up on context.
If I was under 25, even if I believed I was intelligent, I would go to tutoring or start reading books incessantly because, if anyone so much as implied I couldn't read- it would bother me so much.
The more I interact with Americans in general, the more I am aware that everyone reads at an elementary level, and about a fifth of the population probably can not even read.
I actually feel insane thinking about it.
#my (teaching) classes are WHOLLY devoted to teaching and engaging the bottom 10-20% of students#i'm learning things like 'have high expectations' but 'don't expect them to get it'#and 'use challenging literary material' but 'don't pick anything that might have unfamiliar concepts in it for students'#(examples: recycling. coffee. euphamisms like 'droppings.' ANY reference of any type to the economy.)#the materials themselves are exclusively written in very short subject-verb-object sentences#and they are in my humble opinion BORING. AS. FUCK.#we've spent absolutely no time or energy on how to teach teens with average abilities or high achievers. absolutely none whatsoever.#moreover. we are being taught that we should not split teens by ability levels or fail them bc 'it might make them feel bad'#they don't even like talking about 'ability levels:' in their view every child is equally intelligent and capable#and it's up to teachers to 'build the skills of those at the bottom' so they're equal to everyone else#it's dire guys. it's literally disabling kids.

Finished 'femininity and domination' and i'm just gobsmacked. in a world full of propaganda about "reclaiming femininity", it feels like resistance to remember that femininity is not a harmless collection of traits and aesthetics but a politicized value system that demands the subordination of women. femininity not only demands women be subordinate but teaches them how to be subordinate and take pleasure in their subordination. and it makes power, real power, seem dull and abstract. it's an excellent mechanism for producing docile persons
this was something i intuitively understood at a young age and which was slowly eroded after a decade of "feminist" attempts to reclaim the value system that demands our subordination. gender was and still is about power

If anybody is interested, the Federal Court of Australia will be live streaming Australia's 'what is a woman?' case.
#tickle suing giggle kinda proves the point for why giggle should exist: males don't get their way so they harass women#and if he wins - which I think he might bc the way the law is drafted - he's kinda just proving that transwomen are male#radblr#radfem safe#radfems do interact#transgender
