Feminism’s Big Lie

“Radical Feminism is, and has always been a political movement focused on liberating girls and women, those who are born into the sex caste female, from the unnatural, yet universal roles patriarchy has assigned.” — Radicalmamaw.tumblr.com, July 26, 2014 “Women who are sane, normal and happy do not become feminists, because such women do not […]

‘Jettison Society’s Toxic Values and Embrace the Beautiful You’

See, that’s the way to fix your problem: Realize that there is nothing wrong with you. You are perfect, a Special Snowflake, a Rainbow Unicorn who is nothing but pure 100% perfection. Whatever you think might be wrong with you is perfectly OK. The only problem is that society — that is to say, everybody […]

Feminist Rhetorical Method

Today, I spent several hours offline working on the “Sex Trouble” project and, when intermittently checking Twitter, encountered the sort of feminist who thinks that being a feminist makes her automatically smarter than anyone who disagrees with feminism.

The following specimen of decadent uselessness was produced by Laura Alexander, “a PhD candidate in English at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Her scholarly interests include Restoration and eighteenth-century British literature, feminist theory, and women’s writing, and her research typically leads her to take interdisciplinary approaches to literature in her writing”: In “The […]

Feminism’s Campaign of Sexual Terror

“Sexuality is to feminism what work is to Marxism: that which is most one’s own, yet most taken away. . . . “Implicit in feminist theory is a parallel argument: the molding, direction, and expression of sexuality organizes society into two sexes — women and men — which division underlies the totality of social relations.
