Early feminist analysis of rape exposed the myths that it is a crime of frustrated attraction, victim provocation, or uncontrollable biological urges, perpetrated only by an aberrant fringe. Rather, rape is a direct expression of sexual politics, an assertion of masculinist norms, and a form of terrorism that perseveres the gender status quo.

Femicidal atrocity is everywhere normalized, explained as "joking," and rendered into standard fantasy fare, from comic books through Nobel Prize-winning literature, box-office smashes through snuff films. Meanwhile, the FBI terms sex killings "recreational murder."

We too must be able to face horror in ways that do not destroy but save us.

We must now demand an end to the global patriarchal war on women. The femicidal culture is one in which the male is worshipped. This worship is obtained through tyranny, subtle and overt, over our bruised minds, our battered and dead bodies, our co-optation into supporting even batterers, rapists, and killers.

Femicide or feminicide is a term for the hate crime of systematically killing women, girls, or females in general because of their sex. In 1976, the feminist author Diana E. H. Russell first implicitly defined the term as a hate killing of females by males but then went on to redefine it as "the killing of females by males because they are female".

EXPOSURE TO PORNOGRAPHY AS A CAUSE OF CHILD SEXUAL VICTIMIZATION by Diana E. H. Russell and Natalie J. Purcell

Summary

There are 3 causal factors, according to "Russell's Theory", that explain how exposure to CSAM (child sexual abuse material) or IIOC (indecent images of children) can lead to some men committing child sexual abuse (rape, sexual assault, molestation).

Catharsis Vs. Intensified Desire

Some argue that the use of pornography as well as (CSAM) or (IIOC) has a cathartic affect on its consumer, but common sense, reality, and data proof otherwise. Indeed, the vast majority of SOs (sex offenders) who engaged in both contact and non-contact offenses reported that consuming (CSAM) or (IIOC) lead to them wanting more extreme images because they eventually become bored with the material they were currently consuming. For example, looking at images of young teens in swimwear would lead to looking at images of pre-pubescent girls in swimwear, which would lead to looking at nude images of children, and so on.

Much like a gambler who doles out more and more money for a greater high after a win, the same principle applies with CSAM. One would never make the argument that gambling just once would satisfy a person in a casino or give him a sense of catharsis, such that he would never want to gamble again. Yet many, including academics, make such arguments with regards to CSAM or IIOC.

The consumption of legal, misogynistic pornography is another example of the debunking of the catharsis theory. Indeed, we have testimony from women, as well as teenage girls, that their boyfriends either asked to or just blatantly choked them during sexual intercourse. When asked why they would want to or why they did that, the boyfriends responded they saw it in pornography. Clearly, they wanted to act out what they saw. Violent pornography, especially when consumed by young, impressionable men and boys, can give them toxic and problematic views on what women like, how women should be treated, and undermine the important of consent.

Sexual interest in minors is much more widespread than people either understand or want to believe. An interview was conducted by a political content creator named Ryan Dawson of an SW (sex worker) and she said that 60% of her clientele wanted her to act out a fantasy in which she was a child. Freund, K., in his work "Assessment of pedophilia" (1981), claimed that "normal heterosexual males respond even to very young girls substantially more than to males of any age group" (page 161-162). Additionally, he found that, even though "normal" males were more sexually aroused by women than female children, "children have some arousal value even for normal males" (Freund, 1981).

Briere, J., & Runtz, M. (1989) "University males' sexual interest in children: Predicting potential indices of 'pedophilia' in a nonforensic sample" concluded that "based on a review of anthropological and historical data,” that adult sexual attraction to children is ubiquitous" (page 71). Briere and Runtz’s (1989) study confirms "the current data offer strong support for the notion that male sexual interest in children is relatively common in our society, even among “normal” (non-incarcerated and nonclinical) males [i.e., non-pedophiles — by the terminology Freund, Howells, and we favor]."

Jenkins, P. (2001) "Beyond tolerance: Child pornography on the Internet" drew similar conclusions. "A sexual interest in children is not confined to a tiny segment of hardcore… ‘pedophiles’” (p. 25). He rejects the notion that there is “a fundamental gulf dividing ‘child-lovers’ [sic] from ‘normal’ people” (p. 27)." Jenkins also says "those interested in child pornography might not be so far removed from the ‘normal’ population" (page 30).

However, the research shows that the overwhelming majority of those who sexually abuse children are not pedophiles. In Howells, K. (1981) "Adult sexual interest in children: Consideration relevant to theories of aetiology", he says "There is good reason to think that such persons [pedophiles] form a minority in the total population of people who become sexually involved with children" (page 76). Other researchers have come to a similar conclusion (Bromberg & Johnson, 2001; Mohr, Turner, & Jerry, 1964; Swanson, 1968). The reasons for their offending behavior are to exercise power or authority over the children, or another pathology that is not related to the sexual desire for minors.

Russell's 4 factors that cause child sexual victimization

Motivation

1a. Consuming CSAM or IIOC causes some males, not previously so disposed, so desire children

by sexualizing children

By Merging Sexual Images of Girls and Women Thereby Increasing Male Viewers' Propensity to Use Girls as Sexual Substitutes for Women

By Application of the Laws of Learning (boot experiment by Rachman and Hodgson (1968)

seeking more extreme pornography

1b. Consuming CSAM or IIOC increases the desire for children in males who are already attracted to minors

masturbation increases their desire for minors

seeking new CSAM because they are bored with older CSAM

CSAM provides material for offenders to imitate

creates a desire for ever more extreme CSAM

2. Disregard internal inhibitions

sexualizing girls

undermining the moral indecency and illegality of child sexual abuse

trivializing the harm of child sexual abuse

reinforcing lies about child sexual abuse

desensitizing consumers to the pathology if desiring children and the trauma of victims

advocating, legitimizing, and normalizing child sexual abuse

providing a blueprint for child sexual abuse

3. Disregard external inhibitions

diminishing fear of disapproval

diminishing fear of legal and social consequences

can profit financially

4. Bypassing the resistance of the minor

sexually arousing children

normalizing child sexual abuse for the child

desensitizing the child

using guilt to silence the child

Anzo-Escobar, Marisol (2029), “Vivas nos queremos: feminicidio y resistencia feminista en tres ciudades latinoamericanas”, Pacarina del Sur. Revista de Pensamiento Crítico Latinoamericano. En línea: http://www.pacarinadelsur.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id= 1794&catid=67

hablar del término femicide nos conduce a reconocerlo como un legado de las académicas feministas anglosajonas, pues fue Diana E. H. Russell quien en 1976 lo usó por primera vez cuando se presentó ante el Tribunal Internacional de Crímenes contra las Mujeres para testificar sobre un asesinato misógino (Radford & Russell, 1992). Del mismo modo, una de las primeras definiciones se la debemos a Jane Caputi y Diana E. H. Russell quienes en el artículo Speaking the Unspeakable, lo definen como “el asesinato de mujeres realizado por hombres motivado por odio, desprecio, placer o un sentido de propiedad de las mujeres” (1993, pág. 34); un par de años después, Jill Radford introduce el elemento de la misoginia al aclarar que se trata del “asesinato misógino de las mujeres por los hombres, como forma de violencia sexual” (Radford & Russell, 1992, pág. 3).

En México, la primera alusión al término remite al año 1994 cuando Marcela Lagarde lo introduce al debate académico (Monárrez, 2009); sin embargo, el concepto cobra relevancia a partir de 1998, cuando Julia Monárrez lo retoma para explicar el fenómeno en Ciudad Juárez,[4] a la luz de una investigación empírica de largo alcance que, entre otras cosas, permite identificar las especificidades del feminicidio en el contexto mexicano a través del concepto feminicidio sexual sistémico, cuya proeza es señalar todos los elementos de la relación inequitativa entre los sexos que confluyen en el asesinato de una mujer, destacando que no sólo se asesina su cuerpo biológico sino la construcción cultural de lo femenino, donde la tolerancia del Estado, que a su vez es amparada por grupos hegemónicos, refuerza un dominio patriarcal que mantiene a familiares de víctimas y a todas las mujeres en un estado de inseguridad latente que se fortalece con la impunidad, pues en la mayoría de los casos no se sanciona a los responsables, lo que constituye el primer obstáculo para acceder a la justicia (Monárrez, 2009).

N o se problematiza interrogando ¿Por qué un hombre determinado asesina a una mujer determinada?, sino preguntando porqué un grupo social asesina a otro (Cameron, 1987), lo que permite conectar “los motivos con los actos violentos de los criminales y yuxtaponerlos con las estructuras sociales de determinada región y las diferencias en la jerarquía del poder sexual” (Monárrez, 2009, pág. 49).

Así, otro de los factores a considerar para entender el feminicidio, remite a los cambios estructurales dados en una sociedad determinada y la forma en que éstos impactan aumentando o disminuyendo las brechas de desigualdad entre mujeres y hombres en el ámbito económico, político y social (Monárrez, 2009; Arteaga & Valdés, 2010). De este modo, en algunos contextos sociales en transición (Arteaga & Valdés, 2010) las mujeres se convierten en “encarnaciones del mal” (Monárrez, 2009), pues salen del espacio doméstico que les es asignado como natural para existir, transfigurándose en “mujeres públicas”, contaminadas socialmente y causantes de los daños que puedan sufrir al ocupar un espacio (público) que no les corresponde y de los males que aquejan a la comunidad (Wright, 2007).

En consecuencia, se configura una necropolítica de género (Sagot, 2013) en la que las estructuras de desigualdad, los discursos y prácticas que éstas generan, son letales para las mujeres, explicitando un biopoder basado en la soberanía, es decir, “en la capacidad de definir quién importa y quién no, quién es desechable y quién no” (pág. 7). Así, la necropolítica de género produce una “instrumentalización generalizada de los cuerpos de las mujeres, construye un régimen de terror y decreta la pena de muerte para algunas” (ibíd.), es decir, representa una forma de pena capital que tiene la finalidad de controlar a las mujeres, obligándolas a aceptar las reglas masculinas para preservar el statu quo genérico.

Estos elementos nos permiten leer el feminicidio como una “política sexual letal que busca controlar a las mujeres que interiorizarán la amenaza y el mensaje de dominación, permitiendo límites a su movilidad, a su tranquilidad y a su conducta, tanto en la esfera pública como en la privada” (Sagot, pág. 8), evidenciando al patriarcado como “una institución que se sustenta en el control del cuerpo y la capacidad punitiva sobre las mujeres” (Segato, 2013, pág. 3). En este sistema, poder y masculinidad son sinónimos, lo que genera un ambiente social misógino en el que predomina el desprecio por lo femenino y lo feminizado. De este modo, los feminicidios son crímenes de poder que pretenden mantenerlo y reproducirlo, por lo tanto, son expresivos y no solamente instrumentales, lo que presupone el reconocimiento de interlocutores más importantes que las propias víctimas (Cf. Segato, 2013).

Toda esta problematización nos permite observar que el feminicidio es una definición crítica aportada y nutrida por la academia feminista (Monárrez, 2017). Fionnuala Ni Aolain (2000) señala que estamos ante una definición crítica cuando ésta: a) permite a las víctimas reconocer el daño que han sufrido, b) posibilita que otros entiendan el daño causado en las víctimas; y c) funciona como catalizadora para otorgar justicia a las víctimas en el marco legal. En este sentido, el término feminicidio ha permitido nombrar el asesinato de mujeres como resultado de las violencias estructurales que padecen, al mismo tiempo ha posibilitado la comprensión del daño causado a la víctima en una escala social y, gracias a su tipificación, debería garantizar impartición de justicia, reparación del daño y sanción a los responsables. Pero, además, como veremos a continuación, esta definición crítica ha dado paso a que las mujeres se organicen para manifestar su rechazo a este crimen letal cometido en su contra.

Mujeres de todas las edades desfilaron por las calles del centro histórico con rumbo a, la que en teoría es, una de las máximas sedes de procuración de justicia en el país, ya no con la esperanza de que algún funcionario atendiera las demandas que han sido archivadas por años, sino para hacerle saber al Estado que la indolencia e indiferencia recibidas por décadas han sido transformadas en un acuerpamiento[7] amoroso que tiene como objetivo resistir el embate patriarcal del feminicidio y las violencias machistas

Sisterhood Flag

Sisterhood or sorority: the relationship between sisters, as the feeling of kinship with and closeness to a group of women or all women; an association, society, or community of women linked by a common interest, religion, or trade.

Based on Diana E. H. Russell's Feminist Flag, but this flag is specifically for sisterhood, not necessarily tied to feminism and its branches/strands. The sisterhood is many times felt by people that are not necessarily women, such as between fem men, and fingender and fiaspec binaryn't individuals.

Just as sapphogender, someone could feel their identity interconnected with sisterhood without approaching integral womanhood. They could experience sisterhood through gender elements, alignments, energies, auras, geometries, substances, etc.

are there any resources that could help invest survivors who still live with their abusers even though they’ve stopped hurting them?

i'm not a professional, any resources i'm familiar with are just the ones that i read for personal reasons. but there are a number of books that can be helpful, though i don't know of any that are specifically geared torwards survivors who still live with their abusers. (and i'm sorry you have to go through this. i truly wish you all the best.)

disclaimer: again, i'm not a professional, and i can't say if these are actually good books, as i simply don’t have enough knowledge to be critical. i would advise you to ask someone who works with survivors or who has a better background. also, some of these were written for professionals, not patients, but i think you may take something from them nevertheless. so, for what it's worth:
