nebris~In the past week or so I made the following statements:
"The most dangerous situation modern Feminism faces is that it is busy fighting for equality in a Social Order that is breaking down. Within that context, what specifically is the real worth of anything Feminism is actually going to be able to achieve?
This not at all defeatism or a call to surrender, but rather to take a hard look at the battlefield and at the goals for which we are fighting. If the existing Social Order is breaking down – which it clearly is – then does it not make more sense to work toward building an entirely new Social Order instead of fighting over the last scraps of the old one, which is after all, based wholly upon Patriarchy?"
..comment to a Sister who is presently volunteering at a rape crisis center..
"This has also reignited my thinking on how Rape Culture is a feature, not a bug, of Patriarchy. I know in my guts, in my fucking balls, how true that is. And how a lot of what I call Victim Feminism is a both an acknowledgment of that and yet also a denial of what that really means because it advocates 'half measures' in dealing with the logical harsh solutions. In the end, laws and social custom will not restrain our deep embedded desire you hunt you as sexual prey."
They are both part of my ongoing process of rewriting/editing Her Prophet Explains: Part Three “The Temple's Grand Strategy” that I mentioned in Blathers [V], where I said, "I do cut myself some slack in that I'm doing a harsh critique of Victim Feminism, the damage done to the Feminist Movement by Andrea Dworkin and Catherine MacKinnan, how so-called Rape Culture is actually organic to Male thinking [Dworkin didn't go far enough in that regard] and a look at how Modern Feminism failed politically both with its support of Prohibition and its abandonment of basic Marxist thinking. At the root of nearly all of these issues is that Puritanism [always a tool of Patriarchy] is still deeply embedded in Modern American Feminist philosophy."
And to justify my nagging concerns about 'getting that right', Layo got her panties all in a bunch over the 'sexual prey' remark, even though she's fully aware of the context and really should know better.
But that is a serious fear/anger driven Hot Button, the primary source of my slow going on that particular section and her [over]reaction pretty much proves that point. Oh well....
