Women's social condition is built on a simple premise: women can be fucked and bear babies, therefore women must be fucked and bear babies. Sometimes, especially among the sophisticated, "penetrated" is substituted for "fucked": women can be penetrated, therefore women must be penetrated. This logic does not apply to men, whichever word is used: men can be fucked, therefore men must be fucked; men can be penetrated, therefore men must be penetrated. This logic applies only to women and sex. One does not say, for instance, women have delicate hands, therefore women must be surgeons. Or women have legs, therefore women must run, jump, climb. Or women have minds, therefore women must use them. One does learn, however, that women have sex organs that must be used by men, or the women are not women: they are somehow less or more, either of which is bad and thoroughly discouraged. Women are defined, valued, judged, in one way only: as women—that is, with sex organs that must be used. Other parts of the body do not signify, unless used in sex or as an indicator of sexual availability or desirability. Intelligence does not count. It has nothing to do with what a woman is.

I had a spiritual experience while reading the last chapter of Andrea Dworkin’s Right Wing Women today. Nothing has hit me harder or opened my third eye more than reading her careful dissection of the models of anti feminism, and going over the specific paragraphs about the woman-superior model. I was immediately sucker punched in the solar plexus. I could almost feel Andrea Dworkin sitting next to me, discussing the ‘divine feminine’ bullshit that’s on the rise on tiktok and Twitter right now. I have never before been so suddenly and powerfully aware of the importance and meaning of a concept I already believed in, which is that we as feminists need to stop reinventing the wheel and throwing it out every other generation. Everything we are going through today as women and as feminists has either been extensively described and dissected, or predicted by feminists past. We need to immediately stop discrediting all feminist text that’s already been written, and focus on understanding it and applying it to our world. We need to build on, not demolish and rebuild. And like, I knew this and believed it in theory, which is why I started reading more theory in English, but it just. Hit me right in the face.

All these right wings chicks having a feminist awakening because all the right wing dudes are saying that trad wives shouldn't get any money after the divorce.

Is wild.

"Isn't it fucked up that women are screwed if they stay home? Like they're still doing labor? Like why would men who want traditional women want that?"

Girly pop you're so fucking close, you're so fucking close to point I'm gonna loose it. They hate us and think we're disposable. That's why.

I will say this to leftist girls all the time and I'm gonna say this to the right wing girlies. Don't pay attention to how they talk about women they agree with, pay attention to how they talk about women they disagree with.

The male Left abandoned abortion rights for genuinely awful reasons: the boys were not getting laid; there was bitterness and anger against feminists for ending a movement (by withdrawing from it) that was both power and sex for the men; there was also the familiar callous indifference of the sexual exploiter—if he couldn't screw her she wasn't real.

The hope of the male Left is that the loss of abortion rights will drive women back into the ranks—even fear of losing might do that; and the male Left has done what it can to assure the loss. The Left has created a vacuum that the Right has expanded to fill—this the Left did by abandoning a just cause, by its decade of quietism, by its decade of sulking. But the Left has not just been an absence; it has been a presence, outraged at women's controlling their own bodies, outraged at women's organizing against sexual exploitation, which by definition means women also organizing against the sexual values of the Left. When feminist women have lost legal abortion altogether, leftist men expect them back—begging for help, properly chastened, ready to make a deal, ready to spread their legs again. On the Left, women will have abortion on male terms, as part of sexual liberation, or women will not have abortion except at risk of death.

And the boys of the sixties did grow up too. They actually grew older. They are now men in life, not just in the fuck. They want babies. Compulsory pregnancy is about the only way they are sure to get them.
