Welcome to The Radfemmery!
We are the radfem meme circle
The Old Queen r/trollgc is dead, may she forever rest in power.
Long Live the New Queen at Ovarit: Radfemmery.
The Radfemmery is a place for users to share screenshots, memes, and gifs related to all aspects of radical feminism. We want to blur the line between being funny and serious, so that we can find humour and release in a world that's more often than not against us. Better to laugh than cry sometimes. All areas of radical feminism can be meme’d.
Moreover, The Radfemmery is where we gather round and share content from radfems/GCs meant for radfems/GCs. This circle is not for sharing the foolishness of TRAs, libfems, and men. That content belongs in o/TransLogic.
Updated as of 17 Apr 2022.
Posts can be removed by mods for any reason for the health of the community including ones that don’t land or are confusing.
Tip: If you aren't sure where a post should go, check out o/ItsAFetish and o/TransLogic to decide whether or not those would be better circles to post in.

First, I am coming to read this brilliant book a couple of years after it was published, so some of you may have already read it. But wanted to highly recommend it. Shriver is one of my favorite contemporary writers (I mostly only read women authors), and this book is a deep, funny, imaginative exploration of the difficult subjects of aging, mortality, the body's deterioration, choices to stay or go, and much more, written in Shriver's inimitable way, with great humor, energy, intelligence and a wonderful ability to point up cultural ridiculousnesses and fads with sharp wit and insight. She is, of course, gender critical in her journalism (the novel is not about "g.i" issues, but gets a bit in). She is also brave and courageous and embodies freedom of speech and belief in her forthrightness to speak on any subject, particularly taboo ones.
I posted this link because it is an excellent interview/discussion on the novel, and on writing, with Zoe Strimpel. I really like to hear from authors whose books I admire.
I recently listened to the Mandibles, from 2016, on a long road trip. She predicted toilet paper shortages! That book terrified me because we're headed in that direction and it really made me think about my own situation in the context of all that's happening across the globe, which isn't great as a single woman who doesn't have a stash of gold bars or a gun. I'm not quite up for this one yet, but I'll get there. She's my new favourite horror novelist and I love that she sees right through the gender nonsense, which of course she does.
Yes, the Mandibles is really really good - and grim! Ohmigosh. She writes about her worst fears, and the thing of it is, it's all things that could actually happen. And in some cases already have, to somebody.
It made me think I should learn how to use a gun, and get one, even though I'm in Canada. As a single woman, I can't protect myself if I can't stop men. Grim stuff!
That part with the "house-jacking" - that's like, yeah, that's actually how that could go.
There's a similar scene in "Should we stay or should we go", and the old couple wind up relegated to their attic while others have taken over their own house.
I strongly think Shriver is an under rated author. She is really really REALLY good. The way she writes it is so visceral.
Yeah, and seeing how the police don't give a shit about women, the house-jacking scene really made me think, and as a single woman, it could go way worse than what happened in the book, plus, any food I have would be taken. I agree that Shriver is underrated. The first book of hers I read was "We Need to Talk About Kevin" and it was mind-stretching and important.
She writes about things that are outside of your control, that are still going to affect your life. And yet, she still writes from a perspective that personal responsibility exists. I really wish we heard more, from this sort of perspective. Like, if the entire American Dollar collapses, there is no amount of self-help that's going to really help you, and yet, there ARE some choices you get to make.
Yeah, good analysis. I just want to prepare to keep myself somewhat safe and go from there. It's like driving, though, I'm a good driver, but I have no control over the assholes on the road.
Yes, The Mandibles is my other favorite of hers. And like a great writer, she understands humanity and can see possibilities of where we are going on many different levels. As she says in this interview, one of the things that interests her is our financial situation.
Our financial system is grim. I'm in Canada, and waiting for the ball to drop, because we've turned on the printing money taps and left them running for years and it's going to hurt when we shut them off and try to clean up the mess.
