Feminist Texts

>>6029456
I've only read a handful of those, but I like "Three Guineas" by Virginia Woolf, which is a very well-written introduction to a lot of feminist ideas.

When I was a child I read the book in OP's pic. One of the characters turned into a starfish and it got cut in half and both halves turned back into human and then one was evil and threatened to kill the character and maybe even her dog I think.

I cried and told my mother and should said I shouldn't be reading animorphs. The next day I was fine and I still cringe when I think about it.

>>6029681
That actually sounds fucking terrifying why the fuck would they put that in a kids' book

>>6029462
I'll check that out. Only Woolf I've read is "A Room of Her Own." Seems more suitable to the context of the time she wrote it in, though I can see how it's applicable to today, to some extent (lots of studies are showing that achievement gaps between sexes are influenced by socialization and learning environments, and how the "stereotype threat" has an effect and all that jazz).

>>6029946
Stereotype threat is nonsense. I am a minority, sometimes I get pigeonholed, it's never stopped me from doing anything though

>>6030126
>Magical minority anecdotes obliterate experimental evidence
>This introspection illusion

OP, I do recommend doing this. Know your enemy. The more you know about feminism, the better armed you are to win the long war against it.

>>6030443

This. The way that spies in movies know foreign languages and disguise themselves as foreigners so that they can undermine the other country's agents, OP should read books like Sexual Politics and the Second Sex in order to pose as a Feminist and undermine Feminism from within.

MRA neckbeard here,

I was very happy when I found another male MRA neckbeard to date and have sex with and love because we both realized women are controlling monsters who enforce social misandry through feminism.

>>6030490
Women literally live to do this. It's why they start arguements over nothing. Fuck my sister wakes up her fucking cats when they're passing out or pushes them over repeatedly because "annoying them is funny". I don't know who said it first but they are honestly just big children. We could wax about whether or not it's "society's fault", but it still is what it is and cowtowing to their endless bitching even more will certainly not solve the "societal cause".

my apologies for triggering your latent castration anxieties and neglected mother issues. I realize your family is comprised of dumb cunts, which is only logical as you are a member of said, so it's unsurprising you've only seen a marginal slice of the human experience, through the lens of your whore mother and your abusive sister.

I bet your fiancé is a gem, too. Little wonder where a quality guy like yourself gets his opinions on the inferiority of women he's chosen to be in his life. I bet you two will have a great future, considering her choice of young misogynist as a life partner. Make sure your kids never know who you really are or what your mother did to you

>>6030507

i always wonder if people like this had a bad mother.

my father was a no show alcoholic, and my mother basically raised me while working.
my grandmother was the only other person in my life that ever did shit for me.

even if i've had my fair share of shit with women, i cant ever believe they are all bad.

The funny thing is that no feminist scholar of note has ever said "all sex is rape." Dworking and Mackinnon are constantly slandered as having said this, even by other feminists (typically the liberal "fun" feminists).

Yeah, you can find a lot of shitty blogs on nobody anons saying that all het sex is rape. I've even found an antinatalist feminist blog by some dude who isn't pro-choice or pro-life because he thinks "abortion should be the default."

What does that mean? That crazy people have access to the internet.

"Egalitarians" are usually what anti-feminist sexists call themselves in order to discredit feminism

>>6030630
The distinction isn't between "liberal feminists" and "conservative feminists," but "liberal feminists" and "radical feminists." There aren't really any "conservative feminists."

Well, Cathy Young and Christina Hoff-Sommers claim to be feminists, but if they are feminists, they are feminists who spend every bit of their time explaining why feminism is bad. And they are conservative.

>implying you guys didn't scared all woman away from this thread

Reasons feminism is bullshit:

Women can literally have the worst manners, be absolutely rude, say the meanest shit about a man's looks or his short stature, or how much of a loser he is, etc., and get completely away with it. If a man, on the other hand, says one rude thing to a woman (such as a comment about her weight), he becomes excommunicated by society and socially reprimanded.

Women can humiliate a man by slapping him in public. If a man slaps a woman in public, he goes to jail and his reputation if fucked for life.
Women don't have to work a day in their life, marry a man, get bored of him, divorce him, and then take half of his money.

Women, even ugly ones, can date a man, get bored of him, dump him or get dumped, and already have 50 dates lined up the next day with decently attractive men. Men get dumped, and maybe get lucky and go on a date 6 months later.

A woman just simply has to be average looking to have a fulfilling sex life and to get a decent looking man who commits to her. A man has to be tall, dark, handsome, have a good job, have ambitions, a good personality, social status, good looks (above average doesn't cut it) to have a fulfilling sex life and to get a decent looking woman to commit to him.

Everything a woman touches is golden - society always comes to her aid and defends her, even if she is wrong. A man, on the other hand, has to prove his worth and fight for respect in order to gain social approval and support.

>>6030618
No think about it fool. If that all it takes to diffuse ambitious what good will you be against your competition. What bootstraps do women have? They have been graduating college at a higher rate than men for a generation and still have done little. We can't and shouldn't shove stem fields down their throats .

>>6030669
She asked him not to
When someone asks you not to do something and you have zero reason to still do it other than to spite them, and you expect your action to go unpunished because they have no power over you, you are asserting dominance.

Now go pee on a streetlamp or something

>>6030690

Christians have given people reasons not to think they're all like that.

Feminism has done nothing but yell at people for stupid shit.

>>6030697

Most of those problems are because patriarchy, not feminism

Those are also inequities feminism is trying to solve

Wrong Popperite! Paul Feyerabend was big pimpin'

>>6030689

>>6030695
I still participate in feminism discussions (as much as a thread on lit can be called a discussion) in predominantly male environments because I'm disappointed in feminism as a whole, but mainly in the part where they refuse to let men into the talk, claiming it is possible to change anything by diminishing half the world's population and assuming the same stance as the 'oppressors' (right, misandry doesn't kill like misoginy does, but is it really a good fucking approach?).

So I single-handedly try to erase the impression made by thousands of crazy schizofrenic tumblr posts and I try to make men see reason. It's a solitary and pointless endeavour but I feel somewhat righteous to know I practice what I preach rather than ignore men and close myself up insiste feminist circles like most do.

Tl; dr: btw im a grill

>>6030697
>Women can literally have the worst manners
Lol yeah, howcome nobody ever calls women bitches? Howcome bitches don't routinely suffer violence for rejecting men's gentlemanly advances?

>Women can humiliate a man by slapping him in public. If a man slaps a woman in public, he goes to jail and his reputation if fucked for life.

And yet men commit way more violence against women than the reverse, and in domestic abuse cases, in the much rarer cases where the woman abuses the man, the man is much more likely to press charges than the reverse scenario

>Women don't have to work a day in their life

Yeah cuz women having to do all the unpaid domestic work and being economically at the mercy of their paid husbands, to the point where leaving abusive spouses could put them on the streets, shows how much privilege women have in our matriarchal society.

>Women don't have to work a day in their life

Yeah, how many dates you get is the metric your rights and status in society. Poor oppressed men not getting dates, like they are entitled to!

>A woman just simply has to be average looking to have a fulfilling sex life

WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE MEN WHO AREN'T GETTING LAID OH THE HUMANITY

>society always comes to her aid and defends her, even if she is wrong.

Which explains the stigma rape victims face and the low conviction rates and the fact that women who are known to be being abused in the workplace are told to "just cope with it" even today, yeah. Those women we put on a pedestal, amiright bros?

That person didn't make the best arguments, but the fact that female on male violence is more commonly acknowledged just means that male abuse victims suffer more, and there is often no way for them to seek help

Feminism simply increases the likelihood of male victims continuing to be physically abused

You are implicitly saying you believe those abuse victims deserve to suffer

Okay, I'm a feminist. But my feminism is not necessarily anything like the feminism depicted on some parts of the Internet. There are truly horrible things in this world that hurt my sex. Is it wrong for me to be concerned about those?

Yes, I know that some of the extremes of Western feminism are particular annoying. But does that mean it all is?

Why must all feminism be painted under the same brush? Take any ideology and there are so many types and denominations. Why make this such an us vs. them situation? Why must both sides do that?

Because Feminism, while it addresses gender issues such as female genital cutting in foreign countries that really do need to be addressed, is, in America, a hate movement aimed at perpetuating the systematic domestic abuse of males and stigmatizing/vilainizing male sexuality as well as perpetuating homophobia against LGBT males while insidiously claiming to stand for LGBT rights.

Absolutely disgusting /lit/, poor show. Can't even discuss a topic without turning it into a feminist shit fest.

>>6030880

If you believe that men can't be abused by women or that female on male abuse is justified, you are not patriarchal or an MRA

You are a feminist. Believing female on male abuse is either justified or nonexistent is at the very core of feminist belief. There is a lot of coded or carefully worded language in feminist texts that implies this without outright saying it.

I don't like dilluted, marketed feminism that panders to men either. I simply think dialogue is viable and that the female-only "we don't need no men boohoo male tears" approach is terrible and counter productive as far as spreading feminist ideas go. Your audience will be far more willing to listen if you're not actively (and pointlessly, might I add) attacking them. And pretending like they don't need to listen or agree is either stupid or naive, I'm not sure which. It creates even more ressentment and desire to abuse women (see all the raping feminists fantasies out there).

Women aren't, feminism is.

There have been many otherwise decent people who subscribed to Nazism and Stalinism, after all. There have been many otherwise decent people who thought it was their duty to kill people of other faiths in the name of their God.

And so it is with third wave feminism. Good people swayed by a terrible philosophy.

Key Findings (...)
Women are disproportionately impacted. They experienced high rates of severe IPV, rape, and stalking, and long-term chronic disease and other negative health impacts, such as post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms. Women are disproportionately affected by IPV, SV, and stalking.
• Nearly 1 in 5 women (19.3%) and 1 in 59 men (1.7%) have been raped
in their lifetime.1
• Approximately 1.9 million women were raped during the year preceding
the survey.1
• One in 4 women (22.3%) have been the victim of severe physical violence by an
intimate partner, while 1 in 7 men (14.0%) have experienced the same.1
• One in 6 women (15.2%) have been stalked during their lifetime, compared
to 1 in 19 men (5.7%).1

If you can't see how women are a common enemy all men can agree on you do not deserve a decent response.

>>6030927
>I simply think dialogue is viable and that the female-only "we don't need no men boohoo male tears" approach is terrible and counter productive as far as spreading feminist ideas go.

I guess I can understand that. Visiting feminist blogs, I still get somewhat offended when I feel like they are attacking me. Then I just sort of calm my emotions, realize that it's not about me personally, and read what they have to say. But yeah, it takes effort to do that.

>It creates even more ressentment and desire to abuse women (see all the raping feminists fantasies out there).

This part, I cannot say I agree with, though. People shouldn't have to edit themselves based on whether they could "create a desire to abuse" them.

>>6030953

>>6030958

>actually believing this

Erasure of female intellect was and is extremely common

People refused to believe that a woman wrote Frankenstein

After the identity of the Bronte sisters was revealed as female their works began to be stigmatized with the then quite derogatory label of "romance"

And so on

>>6030962
>People shouldn't have to edit themselves based on whether they could "create a desire to abuse" them.

This is bullshit. I would also argue for the censure of graphic novel artists such as Frank Miller and Alan Moore who openly make light of the rape and sexual abuse of women in their works.

Yeah, because male abuse victims were totally heard more often before feminism was invented. Then it all went downhill.

Lol. Pointing out that violence is gendered and that men harm women way more often than the reverse doesn't mean "therefore, lets not care about male victims."

I don't think MRA tippers even care about men's issues. They almost never raise them, except to counter feminist concerns.

When there is no feminist to shout down or discredit, though? Prison rape is totally fine! Hey, it wouldn't be prison if it were a cakewalk, would it? (At least, it wouldn't be the ideal conservative prison based on retribution instead of rehabilitation).

You actually deserve a cookie for being able to calm yourself down like that, it takes a monstrous amount of desire to understand others to do that. I'm not being ironic. Most are unable to do so, and with (understandable but not justifiable) reasons, feminist spaces tend to be defensive and quick to attack, a hell of a lot of men end up being misunderstood and yes, personally, attacked.

On the second part, my problem is mostly that it is unnecessary and has negative consequences. It's pointless and stupid. Feminists are stupid when it comes to getting the point across and convincing others. I don't know who is more idealistic, me or they - me because I still try to talk to those who are unwilling to listen or they because they think they don't need others to listen.

>>6030968
So, you're saying that making sure women don't get too angry, lest some man resent their anger and rape them, is the same as censuring misogynistic material.

I don't even agree with censoring either, and I realize that these two things are completely different and not analogous.

I've not read much of Miller's work, so I cannot comment upon it. I do know he has quite the reputation for poor treatment of women in his fiction.

Moore, on the other hand, uses rape a lot, but I don't think simply having rape in the narrative is the same as glorifying it or "making light" of it. To make rape the only violent crime off-limits in fiction seems more like denialism of one of the most significant crimes in our culture. It seems like making it invisible.

>>6031002

Person you're replying to here

You realize I'm male, right?

>>6031007

It all comes down to "don't hurt my feelings."

Women need to man the fuck up. They want to be treated equal to men, they should act equal to men.

>>6031007

Moore has some protagonists who are rapists or serial rapists in his work, such as the Comedian and the Invisible Man. They are treated like part of the team by the other protagonists. That is sick and disturbing.

Also, think about the message that sends to male readers.

I've not read The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, so I can't comment on that (my understanding is that he rapes the bad guy or something...?)

The Comedian, though, is far from a "protagonist." Watchmen is about broken characters, not heroes. The Comedian is not portrayed as admirable. He's depicted as what he is: a murderous sociopath. The only other character who likes him in is Rorschach, another sociopath.

Granted, there are some problematic aspects. The Comedian regrets the rape of Silk Spectre, and she forgives him, much to the consternation of her daughter. It's a bit grey and murky there... one could say having the rapist have a change of heart after the rape and having the victim bury the hatchet so easily sort of minimizes the crime.

I wouldn't eat that cookie too quickly, as I don't feel I am this "enlightened feminist man" who rises above the tendencies of men raised in patriarchal culture, and I'm still fallible and probably continue to do and say indefensible things without really thinking about them, but I do appreciate the comment.

I actually find that the majority of feminists blogs I come across are that sort of liberal inclusive thing that won't upset men too much, like Jezebel or Feministing. That's kind of what made me seek out things a bit different, and Feminist Current is what I've been browsing recently, which I've found a bit more challenging. I Blame the Patriarchy is one that I still can't really bring myself to go to often without hurt feelings, tho.

I am saying that presenting a side as all being retarded is ridiculous. The other side is full of retarded concepts too.

Compared to the modern latino woman, no.

Women, as a class, are underprivileged relative to men, controlling for all other factors that affect advantage and disadvantage in society.

Within the category of women, women are allocated different levels of advantage based on class, ethnicity, etc.

>>6031376
>not when they're disproportionate
except they arent
and in fact some of those issues have more men victims than females

another part of the problem is that feminists see the underlying issue as mans fault

Feminism as a set of theories is some of the most unfalsifiable unscientific bullshit available in literature.

Literally the sort of stuff Thomas Kuhn rolls in his grave over

I disregard it as much as I disregard marxism, fascism, etc.

>>6031466
>>monogamy
>>ugly ambition we were bullied into pursuing
It's true:

"In our monogamous part of the world, to marry means to halve one’s rights and double one’s duties. But when the law conceded women equal rights with men it should at the same time have endowed them with masculine reasoning powers.

What is actually the case is that the more those rights and privileges the law accords to women exceed those which are natural to them, the more it reduces the number of women who actually participate in these benefits; and then the remainder are deprived of their natural rights by just the amount these few receive in excess of theirs: for, because of the unnaturally privileged position enjoyed by women as a consequence of monogamy and the marriage laws accompanying it, which regard women as entirely equal to men (which they are in no respect), prudent and cautious men very often hesitate before making so great a sacrifice as is involved in entering into so inequitable a contract; so that while among polygamous peoples every woman gets taken care of, among the monogamous the number of married women is limited and there remains over a quantity of unsupported women who, in the upper classes, vegetate on as useless old maids, and in the lower are obligated to undertake laborious work they are constitutionally unfitted for or become filles de joie, whose lives are as devoid of joie as they are of honour but who, given the prevailing circumstances, are necessary for the gratification of the male sex and therefore come to constitute a recognized class, with the specific task of preserving the virtue of those women more favoured by fate who have found a man to support them or may reasonably hope to find one.

There are 80,000 prostitutes in London alone: and what are they if not sacrifices on the altar of monogamy? These poor women are the inevitable counterpart and natural complement to the European lady, with all her arrogance and pretension. For the female sex viewed as a whole polygamy is therefore a real benefit; on the other hand there appears no rational ground why a man whose wife suffers from a chronic illness, or has remained unfruitful, or has gradually grown too old for him, should not take a second. "

>>6030580
This is a beautiful story, made my day anon. Post some more.

feminists want sex and money :
-they got the sex back in the 70's where they could be fucked by anyone they want (read chads) thanks to contraception and abortion plus men's financial obligation towards undesired babies and ex-wifes thanks to No-fault divorce

-they now complain more on the money in the work place because that's all they want and it is true battle to win since it allows to bypass men altogether to get the shekels

>>6031388
>some of those issues have more men victims than females

why is it only measured in quantity rather than severity?

Nope.
Overpopulation is a warped generalization of actual problems.

>>6031529
no that wasn't my implication. before my last post, i'd actually considered that unless you're a hippy growing your own food, you're going to need to buy some groceries. beyond that, money is also freedom, the ability to cause change, etc.

Abortion is infanticides legalized and almost encouraged. For the proponents, it is better to kill what they see as only a few cells devoid of nervous system than killing a baby afterwards. Anew, it works great in a liberal-hedonistic world and there no real counter-argument...

>Those are also inequities feminism is trying to solve
feminism has never been about equity. Feminism is about women catching up on the advantages of men have and never giving up on the females' ones. Take the the conscription for instance : not a single feminist in the last forty years has advocated the mandatory enrollment of women in the army, before the conscription was no longer a requirement.

Women have free contraceptives while men must pay for condoms. Not a single feminist talks about this...


Feminist want to retain women's natural or social advantages over men, especially in the dating/romance/sexual matters

Life expectancy of men and women aged 35 by income quintile in 1988-2007

http://www.thl.fi/fi/web/health-and-welfare-inequalities/health-inequalities/differences-in-life-expectancy

feminism illustrated :

The famous feminist Gloria Steinem at one point stated, “you became a semi-nonperson when you got married.” She also famously coined the expression 'A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.' Steinem dismissed marriage in 1987 as not having a 'good name.' Steinem got married in 2000, stating that the symbols that feminists once "rebelled against" now are freely chosen, or society had changed.[12]

>>6031063
To be honest I would be very disappointed if someone wrote a story about someone having the superpower of invisibility and didn't at least once use it in a sexual way.

I feel like that would immediately be a disingenuous character.

I just finished reading The Left Hand of Darkness, because it's a famous feminist novel and I've never read any feminist works before.

It starts out very slow and boring, but the writing is decent, and the part with the journey across the ice is very good. There's one major problem: the protagonist does absolutely nothing to advance the plot. He only observes and reacts to other people's decisions. I'm pretty sure this is deliberate, and I can't imagine a man ever writing like this. Maybe it is intended as an attack on men, but the author is female so all it does is strengthen the impression that females are weak and useless. I am not impressed with this book.

>>6030890
I'm a feminist using the dictionary definition of the word aka I believe men and women should have equal rights.

I also support actual feminists doing actual work that supports the actual cause.

But all this third-wave, SJW, literally-everything-is-rape, hashtag campaigning, identity-politics applied to art an entertainment, shit is disgusting. Not only are these people incredibly uninformed and vile, they're setting feminism back and making (the perception of) it evil. They're fucking disgusting and are the enemy of equality and intellectual discourse about the subject.

I'd start with bell hooks' Feminism Is For Everybody. Then jump into more academic stuff.

>>6032306
Tumblr feminism is a misunderstanding of third wave feminism. Third wave feminism as it was originally conceived is actually friendlier to men than the first or second waves.
