hm rgu just has a really nuanced take about how patriarchy harms men. it says that men are brought up in a society that encourages them to harm women and emulate other misogynistic, abusive men [touga emulating akio, and to a lesser extent saionji emulating touga and later akio]. this often does come at some cost to their own psyche, because the men they are emulating hurt and abuse them too [touga is abused by akio, saionji is abused by touga though touga is not nearly as skillful with it]. but regardless, they are punching downwards to mistreat the women in their lives the same way their abusive male role models do [touga abusing nanami, saionji abusing anthy], and they choose to act this way to women because, despite the conditions of patriarchy inflicting a toxic and self-destructive relationship with other men on them, they are willing to imitate and obey the same men that hurt them if it means they can keep the privilege and power over women that the patriarchy grants them by default for being men. [touga wants to be akio's successor, he wants to inherit the world that akio has constructed for himself, which is built on the foundation of patriarchal power over women. and to do this touga deliberately keeps himself on akio's radar rather than pull back once it becomes clear what akio's intentions with him are. touga believes he's letting himself be manipulated, he believes he is consenting to it, and that that will be worth it if it means claiming akio's seat of power in the future. (of course what touga doesn't consider is that he cannot meaningfully consent to any advances akio makes, because he's a minor and akio is an adult.)]

rgu asserts that yes, patriarchy does harm men, but that harm comes almost exclusively from other men. and, more importantly, while abusive men may have been hurt by the patriarchy at the hands of other men, it is still their choice to hurt the women around them. and rather than dawdle and sympathize with harmful men for how they themselves were hurt by other harmful men, it's more important to prevent them from hurting anyone else

Shoujo Kakumei Utena, by Chiho Saito Nokemono to Hanayome, by Asumiko Nakamura Mawaru Penguindrum, by Lily Hoshino Yuri Kuma Arashi, by Akiko Morishima

In September 2017, Ikuhara had an entire retrospective book published about him: Kunihiko Ikuhara: Revolutionary Girl Utena, Mawaru Penguindrum, Yuri Bear Storm … Our Revolution and Survival Strategy

It included new art from the people Ikuhara had worked with, including these four gorgeous full color images. My cleaning skills and options have expanded a TON since I scanned it though, so here are brand new copies!

really gnawing on my fist thinking about how so much of shiori's scorn toward juri is just another manifestation of her self-hatred. shiori always saw juri as so strong and untouchable, someone infinitely more gifted and beautiful than she could ever hope to be. she still does. so when she learns that juri is in love with her, someone who, in shiori's eyes, is so utterly plain, so utterly average and unremarkable, she's astounded and repulsed - specifically at the thought that someone like juri could have someone as pathetic as her in her heart. her cruelty towards juri is a plea in a way, for juri to see her; an attempt to go as low as she possibly can to see if juri could really continue to love and care about her after seeing how (as shiori sees it) despicable she truly is. THEE mothers of toxic yuri oh my god
