Feminist books that I recommend all women to read.

This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color edited by Cherríe Moraga and Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa

S.C.U.M. Manifesto by Valerie Solanas

Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde

Who Cooked the Last Supper? The Women's History of the World. by Rosalind Miles

Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Emma Criado Perez

Right-Wing Women by Andrea Dworkin

Men Who Hate Women: From Incels to Pickup Artists: The Truth about Extreme Misogyny and How it Affects Us All by Laura Bates

To the hypocritical lesbians: It's unthinkable for het and bi women to stop associating with or even just stop dating men for the same reason it's unthinkable for lesbians to stop having sex and romance though. Sex and romance invite complacency and jealous guarding and hoarding behavior, and controlling behavior, in every group. You get more done if you're single and your mind is clearer. You should lead by example. Love addiction is holding us back and causing us to be cruel to our fellow women, often in the same way males do. Teach us how, because female liberation is more important than relationships. No matter what your sexuality is. Lesbianism won't die out if we take a break to win a war. I'd argue it will grow when we win.

In your opinion, what are the top 5 problems within feminism that hold the movement back? (I'm sending it to others users here too because I want to see different perspectives).

The fear of interacting with other women. Women are legit scared of each other. Scared of being judged, doxxed, not included, underwhelmed, etc by other women. The biggest barrier to hosting meetups for me wasn't keeping misogynists away, it was convincing women to sit in a cafe near another woman who might have a different opinion on separatism.

Waiting for the feminist activist or the organizing group to start that feminist project in your head. There's a lack of responsibility and agency. If there's something you think is needed for female liberation, you need to do it. Other women don't have that idea, most don't have much more resources or connections than you. You have to get offline and do it yourself. No one else is going to do it quite like you.

Reinventing the wheel. Everything has been done already. Research a bit or ask around and you can learn from other women what works and what doesn't. I feel this most with the current wave of discords. At one point I was probably in 50+ radfem related facebook groups for every topic. But women would start these groups, lose steam after a couple of months, and then the group would eventually dissolve. These discords are starting to do that as well. (Hint; the groups that stuck around have irl connections)

Forgetting women's history and ignoring women's culture. Especially women's culture from global majority women's perspective. Women are insanely ignorant of our own culture and history. What little we do know if often told from a male/patriarchal perspective. Women are creating and keeping women's culture right now that you can support and engage with. Women can benefit from letting go of male produced media/art/education for a change. And white women are not doing enough to support global majority women's culture and history.

There's a constant desire by many women to spend energy on men. Every man has a mom, most men have female spouses, siblings, children, men interact with women everyday. If they don't get it by now, they don't care. It's a waste of energy trying to convince a guy who's been watching 'teen gangbang' on a regular basis since high school that you deserve rights.

This is in no particular order and just off the top of my head. I kind of want to expand on some of these later. I also want to see other women's top 5s.

We must stay focused sisters, we must stay focused. Imagine procrastinating whilst some red pill, white supremacist total waste of space human is locking in and getting better opportunities than you.

updated radical feminist library

the radical feminist library, by aggrolesbo/ladielabrys, is great. but it has a lot of repeated and illegible files, and without the proper authors so it gets difficult to search for things. I cleaned it put and then added a lot more books recommended across the internet. Plus very good releases by suny press and routledge.

i separated the trans folder from the rest of the library so you can send it to people who would otherwise be turned off.

If you have any recommendations i would be glad to add it!

spread it far and wide please

women reacting to this all have meaningful insight into why it’s happening. meanwhile, men:

tryna lock in on my fitness journey and be strong

please can i get reasons to work out that arent linked to patriachal beauty standards
