The Shame Is Yours

The Manchurian Rapist If you believe that Men are biologically destined to be rapists, you believe in “biological determinism.” As radical feminism is predicated on the idea that all roles played by/forced on Males and Females are socially constructed, radical feminism by definition rejects biological determinism. Let’s assume, for the sake of this discussion, that […]

Apparently, Anonymous is a Homophobic Men’s Rights Activist

Not shockingly, Men’s Rights Activists have descended on this blog since I posted a statement from the organizers of Rad Fem 2013 about the intimidation of the London Irish Centre by MRAs. You can read the comments there to see how violent and paranoid MRAs are. There are more comments I need to scrub of […]

Statement from Rad Fem 2013

STATEMENT NOW POSTED ON THE RADFEM2013 WEBSITE BY THE ORGANISERS. Unsurprisingly, and for the second year in a row, men’s rights activists have bullied venue staff hosting Radfem 2013, into submitting to their terror tactics. Despite the fact that the organisers of this year’s Rad Fem 2013 were completely transparent about our intentions for the […]

Response from Ubaka Hill: I am compelled to respond directly to your direct request that I boycott the MWMF in August 2013. First of all, thank you for showing the courage to take action for what you and others believe is right, just and worthy of a strategy of a boycott as a method to […]

We Don’t Need No Education

One of my all time favorite movies is Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Have you seen it? It features the incomparable Peter Sellers (one of my all-time favorite actors, male or female) in four different roles, including Dr. Strangelove, who invented The Bomb. It’s a satire about […]

Ruth Barrett Responds

My response to the request to boycott the Michigan Festival.  April 11, 2013 Dear Community Sisters and Performers of the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival, I want to give Alyson Palmer a standing ovation for her brilliant and eloquently crafted letter in response to the trans-activist’s call to the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival performers to boycott […]

Trans Activists and MRAs = Same Women-Hating Peoples

  This screenshot is from the MRA website here. Don’t click on the link unless you have an IP hider, because I AM SURE these guys track IPs. Paul Elam’s biggest claim to fame is infiltrating some message board where women with no power or money were talking and saying things that hurt their feelings. […]

That Awkward Moment

One of the charges Transgender Warriors and their Signal-Boosting Liberal Allies regularly lodge against Radical Feminists is that Radical Feminists are “biological determinists” for knowing that human biology exists. According to these folks, biological determinism makes us Nazis and KKK members and right-wingers. Transgender Warriors and Outstanding Liberal Allies engage in this blitz attack on […]

Letter to the Community

April 11, 2013   Letter to the Community   On March 28, an activist named Red Durkin posted a petition on Change.org asking artists and attendees to boycott the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival until organizers fully and openly welcome all self-identified women.  This petition has intensified a long-running debate about and within the Festival, a […]
