Feminism is the movement to liberate women from patriarchy.
We stand up for the rights of women as a sex-class. Women have a right to bodily autonomy and to set their own boundaries and have them respected. We resist efforts to limit women's reproductive autonomy. We condemn the men who exploit and abuse women in prostitution and pornography. We oppose all harms and forms of exploitation of women and girls, regardless of whether or not they're sold as "choice" or re-framed as "empowering." We oppose the movement to redefine "women" in a way that erases the realities of our lives and makes organizing for our liberation as a sex-class impossible.
"In the radical feminist view, the new feminism is not just the revival of a serious political movement for social equality. It is the second wave of the most important revolution in history. Its aim: the overthrow of the oldest, most rigid class/caste system in existence, the class system based on sex – a system consolidated over thousands of years, lending the archetypal male and female roles an undeserved legitimacy and seeming permanence." –Shulamith Firestone, The Dialectic of Sex
I think we'll be seeing more of this, she's trying to sell a book and nothing sells better then ruining a woman. Especially Gisele considering her importance to the feminist movement right now and with the way rapes are prosecuted. She shone a huge light on males in our society. I'm just disappointed, Darian is so confused she doesn't know what to think. That's the level of trauma all this has done to her, but the cash grab puts me off and I'm taking all of this into account when making a judgement here.
I'd rather he has never touched his daughter, for her sake but I understand how that question never having a clear answer can ruin someone. I just wish she had some empathy for her mom, I really struggle with how people view mothers. You could go through hell and back but still be blamed for things outside of your control simply because it's easier to unload all labour, emotional or otherwise onto women, and especially mothers.
And you know there was a publishing editor in the background pushing her to make this story even "more" than it already is. Still, I believe she has agency and is doing her mother dirty.
I thought that too, her book is not selling because of her, but because it's almost a tell all about her mother. So soon after the win too. I just find it so unproductive and shady, like you do all women a disservice with this. You're allowed your own truth and hurt but what purpose does it serve to do this? Even to your own healing, just giving them ammunition against you and especially your mom.
