just rbing to let everyone know i remade ! i hated how unorganized this account was becoming and i wanted to focus more on research & analysis & reading.

i actually wasn’t intending to use tumblr again at all but i began feeling isolated in my anger and in my trauma and i wanted a community of other women who feel the same and have experienced the same. i thought stopping tumblr use would make me feel better but i didn’t stop feeling angry and i’m fairly sure now that i will be angry for the rest of my life, which i didn’t really want to be a very long time. the world is so foul and hates us so much and i didn’t have the heart or the energy to keep going in the face of just so much -- and then i read this, by andrea dworkin: “Fighting back is as close to healing as we are going to come.” 

so i’m going to take her word for it & try to focus on activism rather than just anger alone. anyway, please reach out if you feel the same or if you want to talk or anything like that; it would mean a lot to me.

where r u 🥲🥲

I’ve moved accounts ! I’m at @gorgonsagainstrape now ! I wanted to make an account to focus on anti-rape activism specifically since that’s what my feminism is centered on

hi! what do you think of people who are not a woman/female working with sprits and deities that obviously do not like men/non-females. say lilith or medusa, i don’t see them liking men at all, but apparently some men work with them. which i also do not understand why they would???? everyone is valid but it just doesn’t really mesh well tbh. then men throw hissy fits when woman say to stay away from these deities and sprits (and different forms of magic that are specifically for woman/females) if you’re a man or non-female/woman.

I’ve never worked with Lilith before but I can tell you that Medusa will never work with a man. She despises men. She’ll put a curse on a man just for looking at me funny, there is no way She would ever consent to work with a man and honestly these guys are just fucking around and finding out. Whatever it is they’re working with, it’s not Medusa

And anyway I don’t believe men are capable of magic. I don’t think they can have the same relationship with a deity as a woman can. They’re just roleplaying their idea of what a witch is and not actually experiencing it. How could they have any idea what it’s like to be a woman and have a goddess? I almost fell off of something high yesterday & would have injured myself but She pushed me forward and I caught my balance. I felt horribly lonely during my period & asked Her for help and She ate my loneliness; now if I begin to feel lonely She’s there and I feel Her love instead. A man just doesn’t have the ability for these kinds of relationships even with human women; how could they have one with a goddess?

so just the word female is 'terfy' apparently....

I don’t really use this account much ever since I terfed out on main so shoot me a message if you want & I’ll follow you from that account? If you want to get in touch or anything

everyone pretends to be a class conscious communist until it comes to women, then it’s “terf rhetoric”

Two MSU basketball players raped a woman in the dorms then one admitted to it. Their only consequence was that they had to move out of the dorms. This picture is of me and one other woman holding up this banner during Midnight Madness. Two other brave souls had a banner on the other side for a while before some jerk started playing tug or war with them over it. This was taken before we got booed at by 10,000 people and police escorted from the stadium.

FIGHT BACK!: feminist resistance to male violence is a radical feminist anthology published in 1981. it has a little bit of everything and is an amazing window into some of the groundbreaking protests, stories of survival, coalition building, and legal backlash second wave women did. from pouring menstrual blood all over violent pornogaphy to detailed accounts of how to run a domestic violence shelter, this book has it all.

French radical feminists were protesting against pornography today, targeting specifically the most popular french pornographers and their parisian store. These pornographers are currently facing charges for rape and human trafficking. More than 50 women have filed a complaint against them.

My kink is your dick in shreds #nokinkshaming #sexpositive

The store was forced to close.

if we’re talking about rape culture against WOMEN and you IMMEDIATELY jump in to hastily insert “and trans and nonbinary and femme-presenting and-“ please shut the FUCK up

[radicalmedusa]

This especially goes for women, but like if whatever circle be it irl or online you run in makes you feel like you’re consistently on the defense or on trial for your own life/interests you need new friends like fr you don’t have anything to prove

turns out my life purpose isn’t supposed to be as small and silent and accommodating and convenient as possible

It just blows my mind that a group of men, with fully operational penises mind you, are changing laws in our societies to declare themselves women because they *feel* like women, and 90% of the population is just like “this is acceptable :)” without a thought???

the mood when I logged on this morning

[radicalmedusa]

genuine self confidence literally only comes with not caring at all if you’re ugly... like if it’s based around finding yourself beautiful it’s planted on fragile ground
