#feminist agenda

[haggishlyhagging]

“Because they are so absolutely crucial to a fulfillment of feminism's purpose on our planet at this time, I look at the women's communities that I know of—the failed, the still functioning but struggling, those trying to acquire land to begin in earnest, those newly born and still starry-eyed—and I am surprised at their isolation in the Women's Movement. I am surprised that they seem not to be part of the general feminist agenda, that this agenda does not include centrally the creation of an entirely new and comprehensive model of human interaction. I can hardly believe that so many strong and wonderful women are still trying to make room for women in men's game—revealing their lack of self-knowledge and self-esteem and their feelings of powerlessness—when there is a marvelous women's game going on out there.

I watch small groups of women struggling to pay for pieces of land, trying to get the rest of us to understand the importance of having a place to practice feminism uninterruptedly together. That is, a place to practice being free of patriarchal dicta in everything they do and say, to practice creating a harmonious, nonhierarchical, gift-giving women's world by living in it moment to moment.

Watching, I see women who might facilitate this new reality giving their money and time instead to the male game—men's politics and revolutions, the old woman-hating, hierarchical, competitive world. I watch with pain as they pour their resources back into patriarchy out of a deep and largely denied belief in the inferiority of women and the power of men.”

During the early 1990's "riot grrrl" movement with bands like Bikini Kill, Hole, and L7, I wonder if there were many salty people--especially men---who thought those bands were just spreading feminist agenda?

Noble!Yuu: Remember before we were married and you went on and on about how many kids you wanted?

Malleus: (reading paperwork while trying to hold a fussy fire-breathing toddler) Please don't bring that up now.

Noble!Yuu: What? I bet it was really easy to talk a big game before you got a taste of the real thing. Balancing work and parenting is hard isn't it, love?

Malleus: You're still mad I was insistent that we don't hire a nanny or governess.

Noble!Yuu: Of course, I have so much work to do and we need more than the two of us. It takes a village and I wanted my old nursemaid to help.

Malaise: (bitting Malleus, trying to draw blood)

Noble!Yuu: His instincts are so strong. Come now young prince, we get blood from our prey not daddy.

(Because I have to say it. The attitude that nannies are for neglectful parents(read mothers because they are the ones who are shamed the most and not fathers) who don't care about their kid's well-being. Most families with nannies are the most involved with their children which is why they hire nannies. This is however dependent on both the nannies and the parents of course. However, the insistent of some parents to not get babysitters or nannies is based on harmful propaganda against women who entered the workforce and would "neglect" their family duties. This conveniently forgets that just a generation ago the role of child-rearing was done by slaves and later poor free women/immigrants. Regardless children take up time and energy and quitting your job for them is a personal choice and too many men make it about themselves. They will call their wives bad mothers for needing help even while their wives are postpartum and are very vulnerable to those comments, making them do things they wouldn't have done otherwise if they were in a better state of mind.)

Underrated terrible Feysand moment is in ACOWAR when they reunite and she asks Rhys where her sisters are before they’re about to bang

“I can—take you to them.” Every word seemed to be an effort.

But he would, I realized. He’d shove down his need for me and take me to them, if that was what I wanted. My choice. It had always been my choice with him.

It’s so fucking funny that SJM wrote this without a lick of irony, like ma’am. Why are we praising Rhys for giving her a choice on whether or not they’d have sex LIKE I SURE HOPE HE WOULD???

Max: Okay, Steph, I gotta say something. I think my feelings for Richie may be resurfacing. Steph: Oh, please. They were buried in a shallow grave.

Feminists be like, "How patriarchal of him to decide what to do instead of asking the women her choice"?

Even though it's a heroic act, damn the patriarchy!

Someone called TechnicallyRon on Twitter “took 1 star reviews of Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler” and it’s everything 🩷

it’s awesome having a best friend you share a psychic wavelength with because @venusofsuburbia and i can trust that when one of us says “tom blyth as lorelei lee” we will receive the correct response of “and mike faist as dorothy shaw”

[bombshellsandbluebells]

speaking as someone who really enjoyed Barbie, I just don't think Barbie is deep enough to warrant all the dramatic takes and arguments on it
