I don't think I would ever pay money to read Dworkin. Men as a class is just clever speak for saying "all men..." the usual stupid misandry. The only things common to ALL men are that which are biological - food, sex, sleep etc and that which comes with patriarchy such as entitlement.

There are few men (outside of strictly religious and political beliefs) that are actively misogynist. Those that are stand out. Most liberal men do not think about how women are disadvantaged because in any unequal system, the better off cannot understand the less well off. That is not an active misogyny but ignorance. It works at many levels, like England (big) and Scotland (small). English people don't get the scottish and why they make barbed jokes about the english.

The solution, which Dworkin still manages to get right whilst not understanding the logic to arrive at the answer is to educate and further girls to reduce the inequality to zero. Equality is the basis of respect. No equality, no respect. Also to teach boys not to act entitled by getting them to be independent at home i.e. do housework. Otherwise the nice things that the GF does for him will be seen as entitlemnt and he won't think to return the favour by cooking her a meal and cleaning up afterwards.

Reading Dworkin will change your life in the worst way because, for the first time in your life as a woman, you must look yourself in the eye and acknowledge that men as a class do not see your humanity. The one group that women are taught to love and cherish holds so much contempt and hatred towards them, and their own mothers and fathers who have raised them to love these men also hold them in contempt, whether actively or passively. Occasionally, the mother will break the trance and tell the young girl to, at any means necessary, advance economically for the sake of their own dignity, and this is more than most women and girls get.

Hi, can you recommend any books that offer a thorough overview of the Holocaust? I haven't really dived into that area since college. A friend recommend Timothy Snyder's Black Earth, do you know others?

The Years of Extermination by Saul Friedlander by is the single best treatment of the Holocaust I've ever read. It is beautiful and eloquent and just, chef's kiss.

I generally refer to The Years of Extermination, Snyder's Bloodlands, and Mark Mazower's Hitler's Empire as the holy trinity of Holocaust and World War II histories.

Dwork & van Pelt's Holocaust is also good.

There are a variety of other, older, well-known, and highly respected general treatments of the Holocaust. While those are important and valuable, particularly to people studying the Holocaust on the graduate level, I would argue that they are no longer the best secondary treatments available to undergraduate-level learners.

Hi!! Saw the ask you received from an ex-transmasc and reading her experience filled me with so many different emotions...I just wanted to say that the only reason I didn't become transmasc was bc during my childhood and teenage years, when I was full of internalized misogyny and hated being a woman and it caused me extreme distress, transactivism and gender ideology was simply not a thing in my country. It's unbelievable how things change in 10 years. If it wasn't for that, I would have been in the exact same situation, and I wanted to say that I feel the exact same way she described when I discovered radfem writings! I also felt relieved, I felt that I wasn't crazy, that the things I experienced had a name, that they have been stutied, that there were women in the past and the present who believed the same things I did and didn't know how to explain and for the first time ever I felt I wasn't insane and I wasn't alone. It was just 3 years ago and it changed my life dramatically.

Dworking is right, acknowledging the misogyny that permeates everything is excruciating, but it motivates me to build a life as far from misogynystic people/environments/things/etc as I can and that brought many positive changes in my life during these years. Opening my eyes was painful and is painful to see the things I didn't want to see when I was a teen still today, but I suffered more back then when I had no idea what was happening and was just a helpless kid. Today I suffer because I see the violence against women, and not because I hate my body for being female like I used to do, and that changed my life completely.

Idk what I just wrote or if it makes sense, Im just feeling very emotional, I just wanted that person who sent you the ask and all other women and girls who might read this that they're not alone, no matter how the world is designed to separate us and isolate us and makes us believe we are

grown millenial men going 😁✌️ at the camera will never not be funny to me oh someones feeling cute today!

[medusa-is-a-terf]

Let's be honest I can't read dworking, I know how horrible the world is, I'm the last one who's surprised about violence against women but I can't bear reading it described in such a detail. I'm more the materialst theory and psychology/crimonolgy girl who tries to understand how violence is possible, but I already know it happens, I don't need a description, I need a solution.
