Since the creation of the woman, man has tried to control her. Even in the Biblical account of eating from the Tree of Good and Bad, when God approaches Adam about it, Adam points to the woman saying ‘ it was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit, so I ate. “ Or in other words, Adam was blaming God for creating the woman. This angered God and thus He punished Adam, and since then, women have become objects abuse by men, not God. 

The Ancients worked with many herbs for healing and women knew which plants they could use to increase their fertility or to not get pregnant. Women warriors used herbal birth control so as not to be pregnant while fighting in battle. If winters were long and hard, most would be hungry due to little food so babies born at such a time would easily become sick and die. Women chose to not have babies during such times. Herbals to prevent and end early pregnancy would be helpful in such cases, however, most healers refused to end any pregnancies past three months as a woman could easily bleed to death. For the most desperate, a healer would remain with the woman as the pregnancy ended. It was a difficult and messy task, and your body would become very fragile and if the pregnancy was not fully removed, you could die of infection. Often, little was known about infection so many would die from this. 

Some men paid little attention to women and their body’s cycles. They did not prevent a woman from going to the ‘red tent’ with the women of the village who were also bleeding. It was considered taboo if a man even touched, let alone enter the tent. Some cultures believe when a woman is bleeding she should not touch food meant for others, cook or enter any sacred place, while others believed it is when a woman is most sacred, some temples would let her come freely bleed in the gardens to give back to the fertility Goddess they worshiped. 

It was believed that while a woman bleeds, she was most powerful and could destroy men. As the Church became powerful and pagan religions were crushed, a new view of women was born. No longer powerful and equal to men, women became forbidden to practice medicine, her father or brothers could marry her off without her consent, a man abusing a woman was seen normal because women were trouble and needed correction, and she must bear her husband many children. Birth control was viewed sinful, thus women of high status would have their maids get herbals from the local healer, often called a witch even if she did not practiced any magic. Any woman who held much property, remained unwed, was barren, had an education, practiced medicine, or wore makeup. Hundreds , possibly thousands of girls and women are estimated to of been burned or hung to death for witchcraft. 

During the Victorian Age, women once more got some freedoms and many women held jobs that were only for men, attended college and made choices to marry or get divorced. As World War one came, tampons were first used for the nurses who could not be bothered to changed pads and clean up due to lack of water, time and privacy. Tampons were so common that after the war, they were sold in markets despite the false truth that tampons took a girls virginity away, women still bought them, ignoring the men and old ladies scorn. Still, birth control was not something a woman could get so it left her very vulnerable if raped, in an abusive marriage or pregnant out of wed lock ( very taboo situation and both the woman and child would be shunned ) . Herbals did still exist and abortions could be done though difficult to attain. 

When the first birth control pill was released in 1960 and while some countries gave full access , often for free, others held back due to the idea women could have the power to make their own choices - sex, marriage, children, - and no man could prevent her from doing so. Sadly, laws about birth control and abortions still cause women pain as they fight for the right to control their own lives without the worry of children if she wants them or not. Life is sacred and not to be toyed with so why toy with someone else’s life? A woman is able to make her own choices without any man making them for her. She is a beautiful creation and should be cherished, not punished and abused.

woman to woman, may we allow each other the freedom to explore all of the depths and variations of our own femininity and not judge or condemn each other for the layers and directions of womanhood we each choose to pass by or take on. we will not all find and define ourselves in the same way, but as we find and define ourselves, let us not stand in each other's way.

FemLit # 931 - The International Gynarchy Movement ([From] The A to Z) - Long Read

Introduction.

Most of society has lived under the failed patriarchy system, which exists in denial of the true superiority of the Female gender. The time has come for society to make the final shift and both acknowledge and embrace the truth that is Gynarchy and Female superiority. To truly make the world a better place, society doesn’t need gender equality, only a total global Gynarchy can help. Gynarchy proclaims the natural and biological superiority of Woman over man, and to the benefit of the planet and to all people, male or Female, of the empowerment of Woman.

A Gynarchy is a society and government by and for Female interests, including any establishment of laws and bureaucracies that benefit Women. A Gynarchy is synonymous with what is also commonly referred to as “Feminist governance,“ a "Femocracy,” or a “Petticoat government.” Under a Gynarchy, Women are the superior gender with men being second-class subservient citizens. Under a Gynarchy, individual households would be run in a Matriarchy fashion where the Wife is not subject to, but superior to Her husband. The aim of Gynarchy is to reorganize society and government in such a way as to empower Women, prioritize the interests of Women, and to enable every male to develop and use all his capabilities and powers in subjugation to the Female will. This will be achieved by means of the permanent transfer of private property in the form of land and inheritance to exclusively Female hands, and by the indenture of males to individual or collective Feminine groups, within a new Gynarchic society. Ultimately, the end result is that Female domination of the family, politics, business, school, and society in general will solve or improve the social problems that currently plague the world.

There will be many stages to the rise of the Gynarchy, including developments in politics, economics, society, and culture. Many of these changes will occur naturally, but as Women and men become more aware of the benefits, and become more Gynarchy minded, these changes will come faster as society actively moves itself in the right direction. The beginning of the declared Gynarchy will come when Gynarchic parties have secured a clear mandate, Female supremacy ideology is publicly acknowledged and promoted. The Gynarchy will be declared with the passing of the marriage act. The marriage act will define the Wife as the head of the household in Female-male couples, and give the Wife full power of authority over Her husband. While exercise of the full extent of this power will be entirely up the each Wife to choose, at any time She will have the legal right to overrule Her husband, and will essentially own him in a legal sense for the duration of their union. This will give all Women a taste of the dominance they can enjoy in the new order, rapidly speeding up Women’s participation in bringing about total Female supremacy. The changes brought on by this first act will make the Gynarchy a reality and begin the transformation of society in a totally Female dominated direction.

The new world under a Gynarchy will be very much the same as the world today, only much improved in many ways. As the Gynarchy develops, and culture changes to fit the interests and mentalities of the Women and men living in the society, there will be fundamental shifts in popular art, entertainment, sports, public life, home life, and interpersonal relationships. As total Female dominance becomes generational, younger generations will be so totally immersed in the culture that it would be hard to imagine what life was like before the Gynarchy. Ask young people of today if they had a choice would they prefer to live in medieval society, or in the society of the 1870s. Most with any knowledge of what life was like for most people in those time periods would find those societies to be fraught with social problems, injustice, and misery, and would not prefer to live in such a world. Those living in the realized Gynarchy will likely have a similar view of the late-20th and early 21st centuries, and few would see the “loss” of some “rights” for men as a worthy excuse for the barbarism, excesses, and miseries of the patriarchal world. True, men will be in some ways second-class citizens in the Gynarchy, but the world filled with the love, beauty, and compassion of Female leadership will not be something many men would be interested in giving up. Most men will be far too concerned with the happiness of the Women in their lives, whom they care for deeply, to worry themselves with such backwards notions anyway.

Politics & Law.

A Female dominant society is dependent upon transforming global governments into a Gynarchy. In a Gynarchy… politics, leadership, law and management will be the realm of Women. While the support of “enlightened” men will be important to the transition to Gynarchy, ultimately the ability of men to vote will be logically removed. Some laws will need to be enacted to ensure the total compliance of men to the new order.

Absolutely essential to bringing about the Gynarchy and all it’s benefits are five laws:

1.-) A law banning men from voting:

In a Gynarchic society, only Women will be allowed to vote in government elections. Removing the ability of men to vote is important, not only for its symbolism, but also equally as vital for removing the male ego from ruining the world through greed and violence. This will also make bringing about other important changes to law much easier.

2.-) A law banning men from holding key positions in office:

Just like a law banning men from voting, removing the ability of men to hold office is equally as important for its symbolism, as well as removing the male ego from ruining the world through greed and violence. This will also make bringing about other important changes to law much easier.

3.-) An amendment redefining existing sexual harassment laws:

Existing laws defining sexual harassment would need to be amended to state that harassment or showing disrespectful behavior towards Women by a man will be forbidden and made legally punishable. Furthermore, the amended law would also have to state that harassment and speaking or showing disrespectful behavior towards a man by a Woman will be legally protected.

4.-) An amendment giving the right to each and every Woman to discipline men:

The right of Women to discipline men, within legally described limits of safety and situation, will need to be fully protected under law. On the other hand, violence or physical force of any kind against a Woman by a man will carry heavy punishments.

5.-) An amendment banning men from inherit land and wealth:

In a Gynarchic society, only Women must be allowed to inherit land and wealth. The right of Women to inherit land and wealth from their Female relatives must be given in the new compendium of Gynarchic laws, making inheritance an exclusive Women’s right, excluding males from any economic or financial system. It means that in a Gynarchic Family, the Daughter must be the only one who should take care of Her Family assets. It must be the Daughter the only one who must have the right to inherit all the land and wealth from Her Mother, even  overriding Her own father in hierarchy on this right. Being the only two exceptions for this rule:

1.-) When there is not a Female descendant;

In this case a financial Female-guardian must be appointed to both father and son or any other Female-relative, in case the Mother suddenly passes away, it will be their Female-guardian or Female-relative the one who must look for the good of father and son, only if the Mother passes away.

2.-) When a Mother decides to transfer some part of Her wealth directly and exclusively to Her Daughter in law, aka Her son’s Mistress Wife;

In this case a Mother can decide to inherit 80% of all Her wealth to Her biological Daughter, and 20% to Her Daughter in law, or whatever She decides fit better for Her Gynarchic Family.

While different places may have additional Gynarchy based laws, these simple changes will be all that is necessary to bring about the positive social effects a Gynarchy government can bring. Little else will change, but crime, poverty, war, and many other social problems will be drastically reduced or even eliminated all together. It seems a very small price to pay for an end to so much human suffering. Men will still be totally free to make life choices for themselves, and to come and go, within the limits of their own lives. As in any society, there will be some people who don’t agree with the principles of the prime culture, and imagine that things would be better without the Gynarchy. Due to Female supremacy education, and the great benefits the society imparts towards Women, few Women will feel strongly enough this way to undermine the gains of the Gynarchy. Similarly, most men will realize the great virtue of Female leadership, and will be increasingly raised to find it normal and preferable.

Nonetheless, there will be ”male agitators” and an undercurrent of “male liberation” gender equality supporters. While any agitators will be given a stern response, peaceful male disagreement will be tolerated, albeit widely ridiculed in culture and public discourse. Due to the end of male suffrage, and the teaching of history showing the horrors of the patriarchy, these ideas will not be widespread or ever achieve any meaningful political traction.

Gender Roles.

In the Gynarchy, Female domination of men’s personal lives will be omnipresent, institutionalized, culturally celebrated, and even enforced. Imagine a gender-reversed 1950’s, with the sexual spirit of the late 1960’s, the tolerance of all people arising in our present day, with the technology of the near future. Certainly Women will occupy all political offices, positions of authority, and all managerial or executive jobs, and certainly, many Women will prefer to keep their men at home in the role of “househusband.”

Men will still be free to choose their own lives. Those that end up there will end up there because they will choose it willingly, and usually gladly. However men can be just as bright, creative, insightful, and inventive as Women, and humankind would not benefit from losing all those talents that men have to offer. Men can still learn and take a career in any field they choose, they will simply be barred from having authority over Women. There is no reason any administrative position can’t simply be filled by a competent Woman instead. Men holding leadership positions is absolutely not necessary in any way, and serves only their vanity and petty competition for dominance over other men. If a man does not have a valuable contribution to make as an artist, designer, scientist, mechanic, engineer, or other intellectual occupation, there is no need for him to be involved in any job that could be filled by a Woman instead. The world is just as it is today, only if the job is to be the boss of anyone, that job will only be held by a Woman. Even with future advances in robotics and automation, there will still be plenty of jobs for men as laborers. In addition, instead of military service, men will be able to enter into service of society in the State Service run by prominent Female-led societies. Male fashion will be indicative of their gender’s role, because Women will largely be controlling what their men wear, and more so as time goes on, but also because all the clothes for men will be designed and produced by companies run by Women.

As Women will have the general authority to overrule, control, and manage men, society wide attitudes and practices will shift accordingly. As Women will have direct and specific authority over the men subordinate to them in different areas of their lives, management of smaller and more day to day aspects of a man’s life will eventually become a natural part of life.

Society.

Under a Gynarchy government, the world will be entirely run by Women, with the needs, interests, and preferences of Women made the focus of all social activity. Society will be geared around maximizing independence, recreation, and happiness for Women. Men’s happiness will be the secondary goal, except in any way in which it interferes with maximum possible happiness of all Women involved. Men will be raised and encouraged to take pleasure in social events and arrangements that make Women happy and try always to satisfy even the smallest desires of a Woman.

Public Life.

Public life in the first years of the Gynarchy will see the beginning of changes in dress, behavior, and activities, but will not be drastically different from before. Within a decade or two, however, social life will have been totally transformed by the interests, behaviors, and priorities of the Women raised in the Gynarchy. The social taboos and repressed culture of the patriarchy will be totally replaced by the practical, enjoyable, and uninhibited environment of the Gynarchy.

Fashion.

Among the earliest signs of the Gynarchy will be the decline of men wearing pants. This will prove to be one of the Gynarchy’s most important cultural developments, as it will speed along and solidify the rise of Female supremacy in society. The change will happen as Women in relationships stop allowing their men to wear pants, single men begin desiring their new clothing options, and over time as designers and clothing companies stop making pants for men. This will make the new world order highly visible, allowing Gynarchy prone men to embrace and promote the changes in society, and helping resistant men accept, embody, and internalize their new roles and positions.

While Women’s fashion will still include a huge variety of clothing choices, there will naturally be some shifts to styles that reflect Women’s power, domination, and authority. This will mean more business and professional looks, more pants in general, more boots, and more intimidating looks. However Women will still choose all the styles they enjoy, and as their sexuality is a huge part of their dominance and control of men, there may be an increase in sexy and revealing styles, with Women choosing options that highlight and celebrate the Female body. Despite shifts in popularity of styles, Women will choose any fashion styles they like, and Women will choose a wide range of choices just as they do today. The effect of Gynarchy fashion on other aspects of society will be manifold, as it visibly reiterates the primary basis of the new society - the enhancement of Women’s privilege, and the removal of male privilege.

Culture.

Culture is a reflection of the interests and values of the society that produces it. Cultural products are dictated by the needs and wants of that society. Culture evolves when it’s products influence members of society, imparting common beliefs, practices, and attitudes. The culture of the Gynarchy will initially be a Female dominated take on the culture of the patriarchy, but over time will build and reinforce itself until its products are uniquely Gynarchic in origin. This will mean new art, sculptures,  statues, paintings, parks, literature, social groups, media, music, fashion, film industry, theater, TV series, TV shows, TV Ads, TV nightly news, marketing, internet, architecture, furniture, clothing, machines, tools, sex toys, sports, games, public events, and any other aspect of society.

Relationships.

Relationships in the Gynarchy will come in all shapes, just as today. There will be a variety of heterosexual relationships, depending on the personalities involved, but generally speaking most could be described as ‘Female lead’, 'Female dominated’, or 'totally Female controlled’. While homosexual couples of both sexes will experience little difference in the range of relationships they would find in the present day, heterosexual couples will be experiencing a total transformation and reversal of normalcy from back in the dark ages of the patriarchy.

In the early years of Gynarchy there will still be many men seeking out Women who exercise as little of their right to dominance as possible, and enough Women out there who don’t want to be dominant towards men, that certain patriarchal forms will still persist. After the first generation fully raised in the Gynarchy, and even more so after the second, the majority of Women will have been raised with the confidence, attitude, and expectation of male submissiveness that will empower them to fully actualize the spirit of the Gynarchy.

Similarly, men raised by Gynarchic institutions such as in their public school, government, workplace, and social groups, will still become immersed in proper Female-led education, even if their Mothers still runs a backward boy-coddling home. This will mean that eventually it will be hard to find a Woman to date that is not at least moderately dominant towards men, and equally hard to find a man to date that isn’t looking for Female leadership from his partner. Each gender will have been raised to expect and feel comfortable in those roles, and this will mean more often than not, will enjoy the completeness and deep satisfaction that Female dominated relationships bring. Sure, there will always be some Women who prefer the sub-culture of some male authority in private, and this is of course their preference and choice. An even greater percentage will probably have tried some role playing, or role reversal to change things up or for fun from time to time, but this kind of thing is always a word away from being back under Female control. It is a world where the Woman is free to be Herself, to dress in as much or as little as She wishes, in any style, to love Her interests and share them or keep them to Herself as She wishes, and to expect and demand that a relationship is all about impressing, pleasing, and obeying Her, no matter what Her life preferences are.

Men will have the right to choose as well, but their choices will be different. Not getting into a relationship with a dominant Woman will mean very little chance of any kind of regular release from their chastity devices, in other words less ejaculations. Instead finding a partner that is right for them will be still very much part of a man’s life under Gynarchy, although the constancy of male chastity will be essential since a very early age in his life, the best way always will be to enforce male chastity on boys since they reach puberty, this way they will get  accustomed to it and will not have struggles later in life, this will certainly make most men far less picky, more passive and submissive towards Women and far more accommodating than they are today.

While breaking up with a man that is not working out, or isn’t a good long-term fit will be easy for a Woman, relationships are a bit more of a commitment for a man. A man can date a Woman just as simply as today, even get sexual with his mouth, ass, and hands, but to get his chastity key into the hands of a Woman from the Department of Men or his own Mother, She has to agree to become into his Keyholder, referred to as his 'Mistress’ or his 'Girlfriend.’ Both terms have the same meaning in a legal and societal sense. This means She had to arrange to get his key from his Mother, Female-guardian, the Department of Men, his current Female Boss, or his previous Girlfriend or Mistress.

When a break-up occurs, the key either returns to the previous holder, or the ex-girlfriend can simply retain it. This means breaking up with a Girl that does not want to break up isn’t always a simple proposition or a good idea for a male under Gynarchy. While a boy can certainly get a legal injunction to have his key returned to the Department of Men, or his Female Boss, or his Mother/Female-guardian, this requires a bit of effort and is not a quickly process, as it requires schedules. This should seriously improve the seriousness with which men enter into relationships in Gynarchy, and help to improve their behavior during a relationship, and if it comes to it, at the end of one. There is also the possibility that if a now ex-Girlfriend and/or Witnesses testify regarding the man’s behavior that lead to the break-up, a judge might not even allow the key to be returned.

There are also legal provisions which allow the transfer of keys to other Women entirely at the Keyholder’s consent. These are primarily used for situations where a Woman is travelling for work or other reasons and wishes to assign another temporary Authority. Due to this, a Woman can sign over a key legally to another Woman and break up with a man, leaving him to choose between convincing Her to return it somewhere else, allow him to have releases, or wait the four to six months waiting period before a temporary Keyholding permit expires. This is another freedom of choice that is a man’s right, and he can choose which ever of those three options he wishes!

The male’s choices after a Keyholder Woman breaks up with him under Gynarchy, regarding his male chastity device:

1.-) Convincing Her to return his keys somewhere else. It could be another Woman/Mistress/ex-Girlfriend/current Female Boss/his Mother/his Aunt/any other Female-relative.

2.-) Convincing Her to allow releases for him. This option is very unlikely to happen, as it was the Woman the one who wanted to break up with him.

3.-) Waiting from four months for adolescents to six months for grown up males for the Department of Men until the temporary Keyholding permit expires. A waiting period that any male on Gynarchy must get used to when a break up with his Girlfriend/Mistress occurs.

Marriage.

Most heterosexual marriages in the patriarchy are Female dominated, although that domination is often subtle, unspoken, or otherwise framed to placate the male ego. In the Gynarchy, this very normal state will be institutionalized, openly acknowledged, and legally enshrined. Women in Female-male marriages are for the most part the full legal owners of their husbands, and enjoy a number of privileges in regards to their male property.

These ownership rights include a wide range of powers, such as power of attorney, full power over property and finances, medical procedures, body modification, dress and appearance, chastity belt key, right to orgasm control, right to discipline, right to use of body, right to unlimited sexual access, and right to enforce obedience.

Unlike options for breaking off a relationship with a Girlfriend, options for divorce instituted by a male are extremely limited if not null, though not entirely impossible. Essentially, marriage is a permanent ownership situation, unless one partner passes away, or the Woman institutes divorce. There is nothing in society requiring men or Women to get married, and thus marriage is simply a beautiful, total, and legal affirmation of the devotion of a man to a Woman, and of the dedicated mastery of a man by a Woman. Married men can expect to be as busy, controlled, and limited as their Wives choose, or don’t choose, and obviously this is something they should have a good sense about what to expect before they enter into marriage.

Married Women can expect that they have full power to alter the nature of their life, relationship, and how time is spent, as they please, and in the state of marriage have even less concern about enforcing changes upon their male partners than they do when dating or in a committed relationship.

Every Woman is a Queen of Her relationship, and absolute Ruler in Her own home, and thus the vast majority of Women have a throne, a seat of any kind that is kept in the home as a symbol of their Rule. As Royalty, Wives can dictate as they please as much or as little rules of behavior in their presence and in their home upon their husbands. In essence a married man is an active extension of his Wife’s life and person, and is expected to act as such accordingly to Her likes, personality, commands and wishes.

Yet another thing that would change under a Gynarchy is the patriarchal traditions of a man asking the father of his Girlfriend permission to marry Her and a father giving away the bride at the Wedding. These traditions harks back to the time when young Girls were considered the property and financial burden of their fathers and were handed off as such to their husbands. But even without those connotations, neither of these patriarchal traditions make sense in a in a Gynarchy society.

In the Gynarchy it will be the Mother/Female-guardian the one who will be asked by Her son’s Girlfriend/Mistress to marry Her son and the Mother/Female-guardian will be the one that will accept or deny a request of permission to marry him. The Gynarchic Weddings may vary but they will be the same from Gynarchy district to Gynarchy district, it will be Weddings where in most of the cases the Mother will pass Her son’s chastity keys to Her Daughter in law, aka Her son’s new Mistress Wife at some point during the Gynarchic Wedding ceremony.

Yet another patriarchal tradition that will end under a Gynarchy is the tradition of a Woman changing Her last name to the name of Her husband once they are married. Under Gynarchy, it would be common practice for both the Woman and the man to keep their given names, unless the Woman decides to change either Her last name or Her husband’s last name. Ultimately, it is the Woman’s decision whose name gets changed, if either name gets changed. Thus in the majority of cases, the Woman will require Her husband to take Her last name, because of the culture under Gynarchy. At some point in the coming Gynarchy, it will be totally normal for husbands to take upon their Wife’s names, as a part of the societal standards and it will be institutionalized and fully promoted by the Gynarchic State.

Femdom - Done Right

I have news for you young ladies visiting this tumblr site… You’ve been lied to… Femdom (Gynarchy and Matriarchy) is not what all the hateful jaded women and self-loathing sissies out there in cyberspace try to make it out to be… I’ve been around awhile…

Female Domination, (FLR / Femdom) is about a culture of Strong and Wise Women taking the lead and asserting their innate power in personal relationships and in society in general.

It is about women taking charge (and control) of their men - in and out of the bedroom - to get what they want - to subliminally train their men (naturally) to submit to their female guidance in all things. It is about teaching, leading and training a man to be a better person, a better devotional venerating lover… It is about focusing his mind and psyche on giving rather than receiving, making his woman happy, contented and fulfilled… Femdom (FLR) is also about transitioning and transforming him into a stronger healthier man… There is absolutely no contradiction in a hyper-masculine Virile Alpha Male – Completely and Willfully Submitting to a DOMINANT SUPERIOR WOMAN…

Femdom (FLR) is NOT about humiliating and/or belittling men, treating them as worthless, humiliating them or acting as if they are inferior creatures made to lick the dirt off of womens’ feet… This is just online idiocy and BS the way I see it… I Love and Adore My Venerating. Doting, Healthy, Virile MAN… And So do all the other astute progressive women I associate with socially…

Femdom and “FLR” is about a Woman asserting her power over a man because it’s totally natural that she wants to be in control… She believes she was born to be in charge, and she believes she has earned the right to be in charge… She believes her guidance (in and out of the bedroom) is superior, because she knows intuitively that her inner strength and her inner wisdom is superior to that of a man’s… Sexually, it is about the natural transfer of intoxicating hypnotic sexual power… from the strong virile male - to the superior female - and the transformation of personal identity… The Lady Fucks... The Man gets fucked!  He’s grateful just to be a part of it… Even if this means the woman wanting him to fuck her rough, hard and deep… The woman ultimately decides how things go… After All, Males are sometimes arrested for sexual misconduct, Ladies Are Not… What does that tell you?

Simply stated, I believe in natural female authority - as the core of my family, and share that belief with every other woman in my personal sphere - not because I want a world of weak pathetic men, but because I want a world of strong studly venerating men, who are ultimately guided by the wisdom and strength of even stronger Wiser Women, day-in-and-day-out, in this generation and in all succeeding generations.

A Femdom ”Controlled“  Relationship Does Not Mean … That You Shouldn’t or Can’t - Be Kind, Loving, Generous & Nurturing !!!

Please, Share this Tumblr site with as many progressive women as possible, Especially the younger Generation, The  NEW  World  Leaders  and  Shapers…

Pathologizing Womanhood: How Freud’s Gender Bias Shaped Psychoanalytic Theory

Uncovering the patriarchal roots of Freud’s theory — By Ishwari Nitalikar @existential-crisis-only

Sigmund Freud is widely regarded as the father of psychoanalysis, a thinker whose exploration of the unconscious mind revolutionized modern psychology. However, embedded within his groundbreaking work lies a troubling reality: Freud’s conception of femininity was not merely reflective of the patriarchal attitudes of his time but was central to the very structure of his psychoanalytic theory. Freud’s ideas about psychosexual development, the female psyche, and the role of women in society portrayed women as lacking, irrational, and defined in relation to men. This essay argues that Freud’s gender bias was not incidental but foundational to his psychoanalytic framework, profoundly shaping his theories on development, pathology, and gender roles. By critically examining key Freudian concepts such as penis envy, hysteria, and his responses to female patients and critics, it becomes evident that Freud’s views on women were not only limiting but actively harmful to both the theory and practice of psychoanalysis.

Freud’s Gendered Theory of Development

At the heart of Freud’s psychoanalysis lies the theory of psychosexual development, which includes stages where gender and sexuality are central to the formation of identity. Freud’s ideas about femininity were rooted in the notion of absence — specifically, the absence of the male sex organ. In Freud’s model, when a young girl realizes she lacks a penis, she develops what he termed “penis envy.” This, according to Freud, instills a sense of inferiority and leads to a psychological crisis. Freud (1933) argued that girls ultimately resolve this crisis by transferring affection to their fathers, which he viewed as a compensation for their perceived lack. In his own words, Freud described women as “the dark continent of psychology,” suggesting that the female psyche was mysterious, irrational, and fundamentally different from the male norm (Freud, 1933).

For Freud, the male was the default, and femininity was defined only by what it lacked. This approach cast female development as a deviation from the male path and reinforced a framework in which women’s emotional expressiveness, dependency, and sexual desires were seen as inferior or problematic (Mitchell, 1974). As feminist psychoanalyst Juliet Mitchell (1974) pointed out, Freud’s theories were shaped by the “bourgeois conventions” of his time, which defined women primarily as mothers, wives, or patients, and almost always in relation to men.

Clinical Practice: The Case of Dora

Freud’s treatment of female patients often reflected this male-centered framework, and one of the most revealing examples is the case of “Dora” (real name: Ida Bauer), a young woman who sought Freud’s help in 1900.

Dora was brought to Freud by her father, who was concerned about her emotional distress, which included breathing difficulties, coughing fits, and fainting spells — symptoms then commonly labeled as “hysteria.” Dora also described emotional tension at home, particularly involving a close family friend, Herr K., who had made unwanted sexual advances toward her. Dora rejected these advances, but her family appeared to downplay her concerns, and Freud was brought in to address what her father saw as psychological symptoms rather than a response to real trauma.

In his analysis, Freud interpreted Dora’s symptoms not as reactions to the harassment she experienced but as evidence of repressed sexual desire for Herr K. He argued that Dora unconsciously wanted these advances and was experiencing guilt or inner conflict as a result. Freud focused on dream analysis and sexual symbolism to support his interpretations, despite Dora’s repeated objections. When she ultimately terminated the therapy early, Freud framed it as a failure of treatment — on her part.

What is striking is how Freud dismissed Dora’s version of events in favor of his own theoretical framework. Initially, Freud had proposed that neuroses could be caused by childhood sexual abuse, in what he called the “seduction theory.” However, he later abandoned this idea, suggesting instead that such accounts were fantasies rather than memories of real events. Critics like Jeffrey Masson (1984) have argued that this shift was influenced by Freud’s reluctance to confront the prevalence of abuse among his well-off patients. Rather than risk alienating his professional peers or undermining his theory, Freud reinterpreted trauma as fantasy — effectively silencing his female patients.

Dora’s case exemplifies how Freud’s clinical practice often reflected a bias that prioritized theory over the lived experiences of women. His unwillingness to believe Dora’s account or see her symptoms as legitimate responses to actual events reveals a pattern of minimizing female voices, which became embedded in psychoanalytic thinking.

Rejection of Female Psychoanalysts

Freud’s circle included a few prominent women, but he often disregarded or dismissed those who challenged his views on gender. One of the most notable was Karen Horney, a German psychoanalyst who rejected Freud’s idea of penis envy. Horney (1939) argued that women’s frustration stemmed not from biological lack but from the unequal social power held by men. In response, she introduced the concept of “womb envy,” suggesting that men might experience their own insecurities about women’s reproductive capabilities and social roles.

Freud, however, did not accept Horney’s critique, and his rejection of alternative perspectives revealed an unwillingness to revise his theories in light of gendered social dynamics. This resistance extended even to women within his inner circle. For example, Anna Freud — his daughter and a pioneer in child psychology — largely adhered to her father’s ideas. While she made important contributions to psychoanalysis, particularly in child development, her theoretical allegiance likely reflected the intellectual dominance Freud maintained within the psychoanalytic community (Roudinesco, 2016). The fact that even those closest to him had to work within his male-centered framework speaks to the depth of its influence.

Cultural Legacy of Freud’s Gender Bias

Freud’s gendered assumptions have had a long-lasting effect, not only on psychoanalysis but on broader understandings of women in psychology and culture. His work contributed to the medicalization of female behavior, especially through diagnoses like hysteria. Women who did not conform to social norms — who were overly emotional, sexually assertive, or simply independent — were often labeled as mentally unwell. Freud’s theories helped reinforce the idea that women’s distress was rooted in their failure to achieve traditional feminine roles, rather than in the oppressive conditions many faced (Mitchell, 1974).

Moreover, Freud’s model of a psychologically “mature” adult was built around patriarchal ideals: rational, heterosexual, and male-defined. For decades, psychological theory and clinical practice measured women against this standard, often treating deviation from it as dysfunction. Feminist thinkers such as Horney (1939) and later scholars have spent decades challenging this framework, working to redefine mental health in ways that acknowledge the role of social power, gender norms, and lived experience.

Conclusion

Sigmund Freud’s contributions to psychology remain undeniably significant, but they were also shaped by a worldview that favored male perspectives and diminished the experiences of women. His theory of psychoanalysis framed femininity as derivative and deficient, his treatment of female patients reflected a lack of genuine empathy, and his dismissal of women thinkers slowed the development of a more inclusive understanding of the human mind. These were not incidental shortcomings — they were embedded in the foundations of his theory.

Modern psychology must continue to grapple with Freud’s legacy, recognizing both his intellectual innovations and the ways his gender bias distorted theory and practice. Rather than discarding Freud entirely, it is essential to read him critically, with an eye toward the historical context and the real consequences his ideas have had — particularly for women. Freud’s work reminds us of the power of theory to shape not just thought but the treatment of people, and the responsibility that comes with it.

Feminism that treats men as natural enemies rather than as products of an oppressive socialization does not seek to end patriarchy – it merely seeks emotional comfort in victimization. It is easier to point fingers and say “men are just like that” than to admit that change requires collective effort, reeducation, and yes, their participation in overcoming this system. This kind of essentialist discourse not only reinforces useless divisions but also throws away any real possibility of transformation. Perhaps this feminism doesn’t even want a world without patriarchy, because that would mean letting go of the simplistic narrative of “bad men vs. good women” and facing the fact that liberation requires much more than just likes on angry tweets.

"Men’s homosociality is something that must be kept in check. Across the anthropological record, societies where men spent more time with women and children had less violent, more kind, men. And it’s not only a psychological change, men in the presence of women and children undergo a physiological response... Advocating as feminist praxis that would make men more antisocial and misogynistic does not seem to me in women’s best interests."

"Separatism encourages women to withdraw from society and positions of power, to give up cultural capita... Separatism in this form is a rebranding of nunhood"

Quite controversial on radblr, my two cents. Take it or leave it, but I hope you at least find it interesting. I included some anthropology stuff I don't think most radfems are aware of, on tumblr at least

for anyone confused:

Hating men is not feminism. Saying 'kill all men' is not feminism. Going out of your way to ridicule and mock men is not feminism. SEXISM IS NOT FEMINISM. Feminism is described as 'the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes.' Notice how it says SEXES? That's INCLUDING of men. Feminism is not hate speech against men, it's EQUALITY against men. Hate to break it to you, girl, but hating on men is in no way at all close to feminism and what it's about. You're not a slay queen girl boss feminist, you're just a bully.
