Name:'I'm a radical feminist. Not the fun kind."
About:Quote by Andrea Dworkin.

This is a discussion/debate community; that is to say, this community is here to debate and discuss radical Feminism, privilege, the tactics of radical activism, the ejaculation industry, etc. Also, feel free to just rant.

Those who do not identify as Feminists/Womanists are not welcome here. We in this community accept that there is a Patriarchy and that we must do something about it. If you don't accept this, leave.

Now, some rules:

. Absolutely no discriminatory -isms of any kind. That includes: racism, ableism, sexism, speciesism (i.e. no calling anyone a 'pig' or 'cow', talk of 'dehumanisation' will also be frowned upon because it assumes that the only state worthy of rights is human), ageism, and classism, among other things.

. We here are pro-prostitute. We are not, however, pro-prostitution. As such, do not refer to prostitutes as 'whores' or 'sluts' or allude to the idea that they 'deserve' to be degraded. Take that stuff over to [info]porn_debate, or better yet, shut up about your woman-hating.

. We are not here to invalidate anyone's anger or feelings of being wronged -- except, of course, if you're a white male who thinks that it was just wrong for that woman to refuse you sex. If that's the case, leave.

. Feminism is necessarily pro-choice for multiple reasons. If you're here to debate the morality of abortion, go to [info]abortiondebate instead.

. Woman-hating of any and all kinds is not allowed here. That means: do not direct the terms 'slut', 'whore', 'bitch', etc. at any woman, no matter how much sex they have. Each woman is worthy of respect; her ideas may not be, but she is, just as every person (human and nonhuman) is.

. Feel free to post articles here, but please include your own opinion to foster discussion instead of letting this become an 'articles-only' community with little to no discussion.

. No community promos. If you want to promo a community, contact me and I'll check it out, and if it's in line with our ethics and purpose, I'll link to it here on the [info]radicaldamnit profile.

. MEN, WHITES, MIDDLE-UPPER CLASS PEOPLE: mind your privilege. Not everyone -- or even most -- have the choices you experience as a matter of course. And yes, even if you're a "poor college student who goes to a mostly non-white school and blah blah blah" you still have privilege from the larger society. If you cannot consider your privilege into your ideas of others, then you are advised to either not join or leave.

You're not obligated to have a good time, but you might as well.

Joining: email the _ lilac _ woman@hotmail.com (delete spaces) or leave a comment on [info]inbizarre's journal for why you want to join and why you identify as a radical Feminist.

"So, in conclusion: Women suck. It's not their fault that they suck, they have been forced to suck against their will by patriarchy, and even so there are many, many instances where women resist being made to suck. Men almost always suck more. Most of the time, men not only fail to resist sucking, they revel in their complete and utter suckiness, and are generally greatly admired for the sheer scale of their suckiness by other sucky men who rule the art world." -- [info]dis_senter
