...from The Graun this morning: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/feb/03/andrew-tate-symptom-not-problem-why-young-men-turning-against-feminism Not really anything new there, and no real examination of the economic angle. On the opening paragraph; certainly I've known a fair few people...

...Pugh - We Danced All Night 4/60 Katherine Connelly - Sylvia Pankhurst Short comprehensive biography of Sylvia Pankhurst as she moves from feminism to socialism, to anti-fascism and then to anti-colonialism. Genuinely fascinating woman who was well ahead of the curve. Couple of lines by the...

how could/would breaking the patriarchy benefit men.

Yes! I've heard somewhere that the colours represented different elements, though nobody seems to know exactly what. Something along the lines of nature, feminism, protest..

I read the link that you posted on the article about the "Roosh" PUA, was that it? ETA link to post: Feminism and violence again women

Say what?

Yes. one of the things, but it’s a really really important thing.

New interview with someone involved in communes, squats and feminism in Hackney in the early 1970s: https://hackneyhistory.wordpress.com/2022/07/30/interview-with-christine-hackney-womens-paper-1972/

I think that is a weird thing to say (the bit that I have bolded), even though I suspect it came from a good place. I don't want to plough in to any debate about TERF or even trans rights, but I feel like I have to challenge that one. I am a cis, straight, white woman and I don't "move in...

What I also find difficult is figuring out what's changing as the years go by, what's changing because we're getting older (ie me and the average age of people around me) , what's changed because I've changed, and what's not actually changed but I've gotten better or worse at spotting it? And...

...containing the words sex, dream, love, dance or desire. Admittedly I was interested in trying to read around some questions around sex and feminism that mostly women write about, but feels pretty notable even so, especially when my nonfiction books by men tended to be called things like...

While I'm thinking about it perhaps a Feminism and male privilege thread too

...to persuade the world that they're going to be good from now on as well as income diversification. They've been trying for a while but feminism had continued to bear grudges. They're trying to get on their side by admitting that hey feminists we hear you, we were dicks, we didn't realise...

...starts off full of anticapitalist vigour but is cheering Barbie on by the end. The core conceit of Barbie being created as a weapon of feminism then discovering the real world is a patriarchy is clever and intriguing but it doesn't really resolve (and how could it, with Mattel in control)...

I suppose this is the difference between potential power and actual power, or something like that? I'm not going to pretend that everything is great cos obviously it's not, but then it's still our work that makes the world run, so there's still potential power to be tapped into there. Hopefully.

Maybe pop some Freud on your reading list this year
