Some real bangers here:
"Read Ring-Wing Women"
oh yeah,
let's read the chapter on the 60's "sexual revolution" shall we?
TL;DR: A bunch of long-haired men told women that they were kinder than all the other men in the world, and that all the women should sleep with them as much as possible; and if a woman said no, then she was a repressed prude upholding the status quo instead of a real person with emotions and personal boundaries. These men would rape women and then deny that rape existed or meant anything. They thought "rape" was an imaginary product of a conservative culture, a theft of property; and if women weren't private property, they couldn't be stolen or "raped". (You aren't a prude who thinks of herself as a private individual, right? That's
so last century)
Some women said 'no' to men's sexual propositions because they were afraid of pregnancy. So these men fought hard for legalized abortion because it would mean that the women couldn't say "no" to men for that reason anymore. The women would have no excuses not to say "yes", except for the excuses that they could be browbeaten down for.
These men who said they were so much different than other men, really weren't.
Does this sound familiar? Hello, Cotton Ceiling. Nice to meet your older brother.
Men play on women's idealism for a better world, in order to trap women into servitude.
Women created their own feminist movements centered around their own needs in order to escape from these men.
Now men once again try to infiltrate the women's movement to try to tell women how they should run things and how much better everything would be if they made feminism all about men's desires. They tell women that they're hurting their own freedom if they don't cater to men's beliefs about Womanhood. The men tell women that they're hurting their own cause, that they're too repressed, too conservative, too misogynist, too close-minded if they don't follow the special men's lead. These special, enlightened men will save us. You want to believe that, and they gamble on the chance that you will.
They know the old insults don't sway hardcore feminists, so they create new insults that these women truly fear: "Bigoted".
Some women go to the Right-wing in hopes that they'll be protected from these predators who don't respect women's boundaries. There are a few positive qualities about traditional male gender roles. One is "chivalry": using your personal strength to protect and care for people who are weaker than you. I don't think this has to be tied solely to a gender role. The same way "empathy" is often treated like a traditional female trait, when it benefits anyone to be able to use that skill.
In many leftist groups, these men are told that they're justified in using
any possible force to "defend" themselves against something that hurts their feelings. They don't have to hide this, the way that "traditional" men do. They don't have to excuse it as a mistake, or an outburst, or a slip of emotional control whenever they hit women for upsetting them. Instead, it's a deliberate political message. They claim that the women they are hurting have
the entire force of society on their side -- that these special men are merely defending themselves from a larger foe by beating up women smaller than them. If she cries, then she's only displaying her immense privilege. If someone comes to her aid, they are collaborators conspiring against an oppressed minority, not someone defending an injured woman.
Some of these men can rape as much as they want within leftist communes. If they are confronted about it, they will retort by calling the aggrieved parties "violently bigoted". They will say they're just like the Conservatives, which is the worst thing to be compared to in leftism: the devil, the boogeyman hiding under the bed, the stodgy repressed Conservative who hates freedom and difference. "If you think you suffer, just remember how much that 'trans women' supposedly suffer every day. You cis bitches barely scratch the surface, compared to the average 'trans woman'. Do you want to inflict even more suffering on 'her' for a grievance 'she' could learn from and change?
You don't want justice, you want revenge. It just makes you feel better to inflict suffering on someone who hurts you, but it doesn't make the world a better place. You need to think about the fate of the world when you consider your personal life. I'd get raped and murdered if I went to prison and it'd be all your fault."
(But it's curious how they never give this shpiel to the men who froth at the mouth with hatred for "TERFs". Then,
violence is justified, but not against transgender rapists, no. Why?)
TIMs constantly play A-log for incels, but they are violent incels themselves. They constantly talk about how much they hate violent misogynist men, but they
are violent misogynist men. They say these things to makes themselves feel better about themselves, not to solve the problems of the real world.
Andrea Dworkin wrote
Right Wing Women in order to explain to other leftists why some women choose to "fight for an ideology that hates them". The truth is that much of the Left-wing hates women just as much. Maybe if they clean house and solve the problems within their power, then more women would be proudly leftist. It's fucking cowardly to blame your own problems on the boogeyman. What's the use in only pointing out the problems with "the other side" when you can't even fix your own?
