The fact that Taylor said — ‘Fuck the Patriarchy’ in All Too Well (10 minute version) which might have been taken from Sally Rooney’s Conversations With Friends, which is apparently one of Taylor’s favourite books and also the soon-to-be-released tv series with Joe Alwyn as the main character — is eating me alive, and I didn’t know where else to go with all this bromelianised knowledge!
The worst thing about misogny is when women internalize it. When your mother’s friend tells you that your education as a woman is not essential to you. When women put down feminists in order to be seen as the cool girl by men. When female screenwriters produces works that diminish the value of women and reproduce stereotypes about their gender. When you are told that your husband has to let off steam every once in a while which is why you need to keep your cool.
I don’t understand why periods are still a “hush hush”, “open secret” topic. If we can tell the whole world about news of pregnancies, why can’t we be more proud of periods? It doesn’t make sense because you wouldn’t even have babies without periods. If you can shout, “I’m gonna be a mom”, how about this time, when you see a woman get their period for the first time, tell them to shout from the rooftops, “I got my period!I am a marvelous FORCE to be reckoned with! I can create human beings now!” That’s how proud you should be. Banish the stigma around periods. This isn’t 19th century anymore.
Transing of children is abuse and the legally sanctioned medical experimentation of pharmaceuticals on youth. All puberty blockers are simply drugs that are prescribed for off-label use. The most frequently prescribed is Lupron, a powerful chemotherapy drug made only and specifically for palliative care during end-stage advanced prostate cancer. It was originally developed for and prescribed to patients who were dying, and not expected to recover, as a last resort.
Now, this drug - which is also given to pedophiles as a form of chemical castration - is a so-called “puberty blocker”. It was developed by Takeda-Abbott (TAP) Pharmaceuticals. In 2001, TAP paid an industry-record $885 million and pleaded guilty to a criminal charge of conspiring with doctors to bill government health insurers for free samples of Lupron; they provided kickbacks to doctors for prescribing the drug for off-label use. Whistleblower Dr. David B. Redwine claimed he was offered $100,000 to find reasons to prescribe the drug to patients. The company has to date paid out a record 1 billion for cases of fraud and deception about the harms of their drugs.
Transgenderism is a socially engineered marketing campaign for pharmaceutical companies which intentionally takes the guise of a human rights issue and exploits and abuses homosexual youth and children struggling with mental health and autism.
“An astonishing 17 pupils at a single British school are in the process of changing gender, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Most of the youngsters undergoing the transformation are autistic, according to a teacher there, who said vulnerable children with mental health problems were being ‘tricked’ into believing they are the wrong sex.”
A collective of Indonesian radical feminists contacted me to spread the word about Anindya Shabrina, who has been repeatedly harassed by authorities. She is going to court and faces a prison sentence for her feminist, anti-racist, and anti-poverty activism.
“In December 2017, Anindya and her company of friends began advocating against urban poor eviction by the officials, and their fight still continues today.
On July 6 2018, Anindya was attending a discussion and movie screening in a Papua students’ boarding house. The event discussed the human rights violations by the Indonesian government toward the Papuans. As a context, there’s still a high level of racism against Papuans or Melanesian groups in Indonesia; therefore, Papua-affiliated events are always seen as separatism.
During the discussion, hundreds of the government’s apparatus along with military officers barged in without any warrant and terminated the discussion. While confronting an official and asking for the warrant, Anindya was sexually harassed by one of the police members. Another woman in the location, Isabella, was dragged by them. After being dragged and harassed they were bullied by the police officers.”
“Anindya is an active Indonesian feminist-activist who is being persecuted for speaking up, not only about the sexual harassment she experienced done by a state apparatus, but also against injustice done to women and poor people in Indonesia. The government is trying to silence her by using multiple accusations.“

The only forms of rebellion the system allows are those which create the illusion of choice while benefitting the status quo.
Black rights activists are still murdered. Indigenous activists are still murdered. Environmentalists are still murdered. Women are still murdered.
Transgenderism is a false, sanctioned form of rebellion that falls within a framework of the oppressive, capitalist system. It benefits pharmaceutical industries and relies on patriarchy’s lie that gender stereotypes are innate.
The system creates the problem and sells a solution. Gender dysphoria is real, as any woman can attest. Gender, however, is not.
All forms of rebellion can be absorbed into the capitalist framework, especially through the sale of selfhood as an external marker. Under such defense, nothing is sacred and any idea or identity may be bought; there are no limits to what can become a commodity.
This is why activists who pursue changing the system are killed, why transgenderism as an ideology is being embraced worldwide by governments who understand that it benefits men and legally erases patriarchy.
Those who oppose this way of thinking are murdered; those who adopt it as a person choice become lauded mascots.
How do you immediately understand that transgenderism is a false flag?
By how quickly it has been embraced by celebrities and politicians, and how very quickly laws are being changed globally.
Reminder: the US never passed the ERA granting women equal rights.
We have so much work to do. We are on the brink of mass extinctions. What better way to divert from global ecological crises than to label biology itself as socially constructed by men, and who better fit to encourage bio-denial than corporations and celebrities?
It makes complete sense that the death throes of an obsolete system collectively resort to violent gnashings against nature and biology itself, at a time when our very survival as a species depends on healing biological systems.
Anyone who cares about the survival of the planet, or even of humanity itself, ought to shun outright the concept of becoming a true “self” through toxic chemicals. Instead we ought to re-establish a concept of selfhood through actions as opposed to perceptions.
Indeed, human self-identity is also at odds with the survival of the planet, as long as we shape it as dependent on external means.
You can never buy an identity, or medicate yourself into existence; in truth, your existence is nothing but part of an ecological system.
It’s my view that transgenderism goes hand in hand with climate change; that it diverts us from our own extinction by feeding an appetite for validation, to fill a hole created by a destructive system.
So we turn inward, rather than facing our shared reality.
As much as transgenderism is biophobia, extreme societal denial of physical reality, it can’t exist without the very real phenomenon of womb envy, which is to say the acknowledgement that women reproduce life and men play a less significant role in continuing humanity.
Women have emphasized repeatedly that the female ability to reproduce is what men seek to control when they oppress us.
Now, they demand our silence regarding our physical differences.
We are allowed a body, or a mind; never both at the same time.
When and if society at large realizes that this has been but a stepping stone towards transhumanism, the human merging and dependence on technology for survival, it will be too late; and undoubtedly, a man will receive credit for pointing out what is quite obvious to us as women.
Na Hyeseok was a Korean feminist, poet, writer, painter, educator, and journalist. Her pen name was Jeongwol. She was the first female professional painter and the first known feminist writer in Korea.
As a young woman, Na was known for her high spirits and outspokenness, making it clear she wanted to be a painter and an intellectual, rejecting the traditional “good wife, good mother” archetype.
Her major written work, Kyonghui (경희), published in 1918, concerns a woman’s self-discovery and her subsequent search for meaning in life as a “new woman;” it is the first feminist short story in Korean literature.
In 1919, she participated in the March 1st Movement against Japanese rule. She was jailed for this, and the lawyer hired by her family to represent her soon became her husband.
She challenged the patriarchal social system and male-oriented mentality of Korean society at the time. In “A Divorce Confession”, Na criticized the repression of female sexuality; stated that her ex-husband had been unable to satisfy her sexually and refused to discuss the issue; and finally she advocated “test marriages” where a couple would live together before getting married to avoid a repeat of her unhappy marriage. It was “A Divorce Confession” that ruined Na’s career as her views were regarded as scandalous and shocking as in traditional Korean Confucian culture premarital sex was regarded as taboo and women were not to speak frankly of their sexuality.
Unable to sell her paintings, essays or stories, Na was reduced to destitution and spent her last years living on the charity of Buddhist monasteries.
Her fate was often used to scold young Korean woman who had literary or artistic ambitions; “Do you want to become another Na Hye-sok?” was a frequent reprimand to daughters and younger sisters. However, she has recently been acknowledged in Korea for her artistic and literary accomplishments.
Men use patriarchy as a tool to remove women’s right to natural selection, so that men do not have to be judged by the same standards they apply to women; the end result is that even the most physically mediocre male may have access to a woman if he displays personal characteristics which uphold male dominance.
Men and women are not “equally oppressed” under patriarchy.
Such statements are nonsensical as oppression predicates inequality.
Male domination treats women and girls as commodities to be abused and discarded by men.
“A new U.N. report warns ‘the number of human trafficking victims is on the rise’ as criminal gangs and terror groups prey increasingly on women and children to make money and bolster their numbers. The 90-page Global Trafficking in Persons report says that children, who account for 30 percent of all trafficking victims, include 'far more’ girls than boys.”
The pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries transform women-made bodies into man-made bodies.
The rise of trans ideology shows us that there are men who associate womanhood with the facsimile imposed by patriarchy, but even more so, that men believe themselves equally capable of creating males or females, and see themselves as heroes correcting the errors of those made insufficiently by women, when it is a man-made patriarchal system that is at fault.
It exposes patriarchy’s deeply entrenched envy of the female ability to create life, and his desire for complete domination over nature.
She served 15 years for protecting herself from a man who paid to rape her when she was only 16 years old.
A month ago, the Tennessee Supreme Court was unanimous when it ruled against Brown saying she would have to serve at least 51 years of her prison sentenced before she would be eligible for parole.
The ruling by the courts came in response to a lawsuit in which Brown argued her sentenced was unconstitutional, citing a 2012 opinion by the US Supreme Court that said mandatory life sentences without parole for juvenile offenders violate the US Constitution.
Eighty male students at Notre Dame University wrote an open letter in the school newspaper asking for a porn filter on the school’s Wi-Fi.
“This filter would send the unequivocal message that pornography is an affront to human rights and catastrophic to individuals and relationships. We are calling for this action in order to stand up for the dignity of all people, especially women,” the letter read. “The overwhelming majority of contemporary pornography is literally filmed violence against women — violence somehow rendered invisible by the context.”
“Pornography is prostitution through the lens of a camera, but more abusive. It exploits the men and women involved, advances a twisted narrative about human sexuality and harms those who consume it.”
Two more medical schools in Japan have admitted to systematic discrimination against female students this week, the latest institutional scandal to hit the industry after Tokyo Medical University was accused of rigging examination results to suppress the number of women in the student body.
Juntendo University and Kitasato University on Monday conceded that they had set different passing scores for female and male applicants in entrance exams, as well as prioritized male candidates. Female applicants were held to a different standard because “women mature faster mentally than men and their communication ability is also higher [when they take the entrance exam],” Juntendo University’s medical school dean said, according to Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun. He added that “in some ways, this was a measure to help male applicants.”
In August, Tokyo Medical University was found to have manipulated exam scores to exclude female students for more than a decade, prompting backlash and a government investigation into entrance exam processes at medical schools across the country. An investigation found that the university had reduced all medical school applicants’ initial test scores by 20%, before inflating the scores of male applicants’ exams. The institution initially defended the policy by arguing that women were more likely to leave the medical profession to pursue motherhood, creating a staffing shortage in the sector.
Juntendo University President Hajime Arai apologized for the discriminatory testing practices, and Kitasato University’s officials have said they will introduce an external committee to address the issue.
The latest news of the academic discrimination comes amid government efforts to raise the profile of women in Japan’s workforce. As of 2017, women made up 43% of the laborers, according to the World Bank. In the same year, Japan ranked 114th out of 144 countries in the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report.
Despite Shinzo Abe’s pledge to create “a society in which all women shine,” the Japanese Prime Minister himself faced criticism in October after a reshuffle left only one woman in his 19-member cabinet.
“From the beginning, Cyntoia Brown’s life story has been heartbreaking. She was put up for adoption at the age of 2, and her life after that was a traumatic spiral of verbal abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and substance abuse.
At the age of 16, she was sold as a sex-slave to a 43-year-old Nashville realtor—Johnny Mitchell Allan. She was subjected to more abuse by Allan, and in a documentary about her life, she described the abuse and how it made her paranoid.
In 2004, she was tried as an adult for killing Allen. She said she shot him because she feared he was going to kill her. During the trial, she said there was always a gun pointed on her during her captivity. She said she was hit, choked and dragged. She feared for her own life, and she acted out of that fear.
It didn’t matter. A jury convicted the then-16-year-old to life in prison. Under the then-Tennessee law, she would only be eligible for release after serving 51 years of her sentence.
The law in Tennessee has since changed. Now anyone 18 or younger cannot even be charged with prostitution, and that change in law came about because of Brown’s case. Still, it has done little to help Brown.”
“As in all war-torn societies, women suffer disproportionately. Afghanistan is still ranked the worst place in the world to be a woman. Despite Afghan government and international donor efforts since 2001 to educate girls, an estimated two-thirds of Afghan girls do not attend school. Eighty-seven percent of Afghan women are illiterate, while 70-80 percent face forced marriage, many before the age of 16. A September watchdog report called the USAID’s $280 million Promote program – billed the largest single investment that the U.S. government has ever made to advance women’s rights globally – a flop and a waste of taxpayer’s money.
Government statistics from 2014 show that 80 percent of all suicides are committed by women, making Afghanistan one of the few places in the world where rates are higher among women. Psychologists attribute this anomaly to an endless cycle of domestic violence and poverty. The 2008 Global Rights survey found that nearly 90 percent of Afghan women have experienced domestic abuse.”
Spain’s governing party wants to penalize clients and those who provide apartments for prostitution activities. The sex workers themselves would not be targeted in any way, as they would be regarded as victims. The bill is inspired by the abolitionist model pioneered by Sweden.
The new law seeks to disincentivize demand by outlawing the purchase of sex. It also considers human trafficking for sex exploitation to be a form of gender violence.
