I found this on Allecto’s blog: I love all Sheila Jeffreys‘ books, especially The Lesbian Heresy. I am so glad she is speaking out on the suffering of millions of prostituted womyn and girls in her latest book on the sexploitation industries. Sheila is our sister! .

I had been keeping some posts I have been writing inside of this blog lately, before releasing them. . . when I will be ready. . . I’d like to say that before I’d started this blog I didn’t expect things to be as they are. It is not that my speech is not free; [...]
Seduction: connecting the dots?
Posted in Heteronormativity, Life hurts, Patriarchy, Pornified culture, Radical Feminism, Rape, Responding to detractors, Sexual Abuse, Sexuality on January 5, 2009 | 11 Comments »
Seduction is the rapist’s sleazy sales pitch. If I don’t want you without tapping the vast reservoir of conditioned responses to dominance-submission-paradigm eye dances/gender performances/body festishes then our physical transaction amounts to nothing more than a hazy reification of woman-hating. And no person, except a raging sexist and rapist, believes women knowingly consent to these [...]

Introduction This post is a follow-up to my previous (March 2008) post On Choices. A couple of important points I had made in that post: 1/ Prostitution is a global industry of sexual exploitation in which sex is traded for money, clothing, food, drugs, shelter, or favors. Prostitution includes strip bars, lap-dancing clubs, massage parlors, [...]
I Blame The Porno-iarchy

Intro/Definitions As I define those terms (dunno how other radical feminists define them): ‘Porno-iarchy’ or ‘pornoiarchy’: a patriarchal society invaded and controlled by pornography & the culture it has pornified, as well as a society upheld by men’s cruel needs for female sexual subordination. For proper definitions of what pornography really is (stated by different [...]

See this? Yeah, that’s a broken record. I chose this image for this post because I sincerely believe that all the pro-porners, pro-prostitutionists, pro-sexploitation folks, pro-hate speech & pro-”sex work” activists (or whatever you rad fems wanna call them) sound like a fucking broken record with all their “same old shit” reactionary arguments that do [...]
A Message from Sam Berg, just to clarify something…

Now, I’m being told that there is a lot of vitriol being said about Sam Berg, me and others over the pro-porn blogosphere right now and I’ve not even had a look as I am not interested. As I said before, I don’t go to *their* places anymore as I don’t care about what’s being [...]

Okay, as y’all know, I blog intermittently, whenever I’ve got enough time to settle down and write an article (partly due to my busy schedule). I think that if I write more and be less shy then my words will flow just like that. . . Sometimes I also need to know where to start [...]

Before I knew there was such a thing as radical feminism, I remember I wasn’t very interested in politics. No politics out there really appealed to me. They seemed all boring and unprogressive. No politics seemed to make any sense or to support any genuine change. I was younger and more interested in listening to [...]
