The obvious question—why do women organize against their own freedom—is thorny.4 In her 1983 book Right-Wing Women, radical feminist author Andrea Dworkin tried to answer it. She described three types of antifeminism. “Man dominant” was the crudest form, resting on the principle that men should subjugate women because male dominance is natural, necessary, and rooted in love. “Woman superior” held that female power resided in women’s lofty moral sensibility and sexual desirability—not to be confused with their sexual desire. Women’s authority was innate yet limited, physical yet passive. (“She’s ethereal,” Dworkin wrote, “she floats.”) The last type, “separate but equal,” emphasized that the sexes were destined for different spheres of existence, neither of which was better than the other. Women bearing and nurturing children was just as important as men providing for them financially or fighting wars to protect them. Dworkin theorized that some women embraced antifeminism, in one form or a combination, as a means of self-preservation in the face of male oppression. “Feminists, from a base of powerlessness, want to destroy that power,” she said. “Right-wing women, from a base of powerlessness, the same base, accommodate to that power because quite simply they see no way out from under.” Dworkin also argued that any disdain antifeminist women felt toward an “other” on the basis of race or another identity marker was really displaced rage they felt toward men. “They are easily controlled and manipulated haters,” she said of these women. “Having good reason to hate, but not the courage to rebel, women require symbols of danger that justify their fear.”5 Dworkin’s interpretation was compelling, but it contained two monolithic assumptions: that the patriarchy is an absolute negative for all women, and that women act largely on the basis of their womanhood. In fact, the overlapping lines of race, class, and culture complicate both ideas. What about women who benefit—or want to benefit—from existing structures of dominance? We risk stripping them of responsibility when we suggest that the harm they do is merely a way of coping with their own oppression, whether real or presumed. As Adrienne Rich wrote in Of Woman Born, “Theories of female power and female ascendancy must reckon fully with the ambiguities of our being, with the continuum of our consciousness, the potentialities for both creative and destructive energy in each of us.”6

#Sisters in hate #Seyward Darby #Interesting book I'm chewing on as I spin up my coding today #This is admittedly an aside in the section on Ayla Stewart #just after her biography which I freely admit makes me want to weep in frustration because it's all so incredibly stupid #And predictable #Anyway have an aside from Dworkin that neatly lays out the blind spots in radfem ideology #Which is: marginalization is complicated abs multifaceted #And marginalized people are often happy and quite competent at using intersectional struggles as a way of accruing power and resources #You will never ever ever make a better and more equal world if you don't account for the agency and diverse goals people in any group have #You have to understand why women participate in and often disproportionately enforce patriarchy first #And the key to that is personal power/social status/finances/resources/respect #Which can be accrued easily simply by assuring everyone that you are One Of The Good Ones #You'll see this over and over again if you make a study of marginalized people in history: people use the strictures of caste like weapons #just to get where they're going #another fine lesson from Mulan (1998) really

it’s crazy that rouge straight up said this and people still see her as a mother figure lmaooo

#edit: for the love of god ‘aunt/sister’ is not meaningfully different than mother figure #explain to me how ascribing a woman to a different role in a nuclear family is super subversive actually or shut up. please #rambles #stole a robot for the purpose of creating a perfect thieving tool and ignored every sign of interiority or will he expressed #and ditched him the second it became clear that the situation is more of a pain in the ass than it is a benefit #and said she’d hate to be a mom to said robot #how maternal.#god i fucking love rouge she’s so awesome in this game #such a shame about amy.#battle posting

i love you royal trio (minus akechi)

#i was listening to the world we knew by frank sinatra while drawing this to inflict maximum emotional damage 😔#royal actually shot me fifty times in the chest and slaughtered my entire family #i’m actually inconsolable over the ending what the fuck do you mean akechi chooses to die of his own volition rather than be manipulated #god it’s just. his character actually makes me violent and insane. they’re going to drag me kicking and screaming to the psych ward #he never had an ounce of control over his life. not even once. he was CONSTANTLY being yanked around like a marionette #until he was disposed of as another pawn in shido’s plan #and then out of some cruel irony he was resurrected even though he did not want to be alive #for once in death he would have found peace—only for that to be taken from him too.#and bc he thinks he’s worthless and his life is so easily gambled away he doesn’t view it as a major dealbreaker when maruki brings it up #“do you really think something as trivial as my life should stand in the way of your decision?” yes you fucking asshole #what do you mean he’s literally fated to die in every timeline? definition of doomed by the narrative #there’s not a single version of his story that doesn’t end with him being slaughtered #GODDDDD he makes me violently ill i hate goro akechi so much he’s so fucking selfish HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT THIS DEAL IS TEARING ME APART #i was so tempted to get the bad ending just so that he was alive ☹️#he looked so happy. he was surrounded by people who loved and treasured him.no shido. control over his life. the ability to choose his futu #TEARS IN MY EYES MARUKI WAS THE ONLY VILLAIN WHO WAS LOWKEY MAKING SENSE 😭😭😭😭😭#my toxic trait is that i think maruki was right all along 😔#ALSO SUMIRE AAUUGGHHHH 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭#the survivors guilt literally eating her alive until the point where she gaslighted herself into thinking she was her sister. insane.#royal was so good bro i’m so glad i endured 200 hours of hell just to play it #terrible terrible ending with everyone going their separate ways and ren ending up in juvie for months #akechi actually being dead in the good ending is so fucked up 😭😭 i thought there was some way maruki could bring him back regardless #not ren hallucinating him in the last cutscene too 😭😭😭😭 “i still see your shadows in my room” ahh ending #persona 5 royal #persona 5 #ren amamiya #akira kurusu #sumire yoshizawa #goro akechi #lotus draws

I like to headcanon that they are besties. (Not shipping)

#fanart #原神 #artist on tumblr #scaramouche #kunikuzushi #Wanderer #collei #Genshin impact #My reasoning behind this is because i think Tighnari told Collei to find a friend #& Nahida told Scara to go meet new people & interact with humans as friends #& they happen to cross because destiny #& they are besties #Both hate Dottore #Collei needs a big brothers & Scara needs a little sister

frank: hey guys, what’s up?

annabeth: hi frank

frank: uh, why is percy looking at you like you betrayed him or something

percy, staring at annabeth with an open jaw and hurt in his eyes:

annabeth: oh he’s been like that for 10 minutes. i explained to him that there's no way to know if we’re actually seeing the same colors. for example, what I see as "red" might look like "blue" to him, but since we’ve both been taught to call that color "red," we assume we're seeing the same thing. when in reality, the colors we see could be totally different, but we’d never know because we use the same names for them.

frank, looking distressed: that… that’s an awful thing to say to someone

#this keeps me up at night #and i think it would keep percy up too #i hated my sister the day she told me that #it was a bad day for me #percy jackson #annabeth chase #percabeth #frank zhang #pjo #heroes of olympus #hoo incorrect quotes #percy jackson and the olympians #rick riordan #riordanverse
