Radical feminist perspectives - This series of webinars is run by radical feminists whose voices have been cancelled or silenced in universities, schools and the media. Frustrated that we cannot share what we know in these places, we are offering this online series of webinars here. Enjoy!

Good to hear another great discussion that puts both femininity and heterosexuality under the microscope. Their deconstruction has been taboo for too long. Thank you both!

Hello sisters, love it ! "Reign of terror" it's easy to demonstrate women are suffering from it daily (as you explained).

There was a huge radfem manifestation yesterday October the 23th in Madrid, with about 7.000 women attending, but most media hasn't covered it as per usual.

I read this book when it came out and it explained so much that was previously impossible to comprehend. I'm so glad to hear you discuss it and hope more more women will read it.

Thanks very much for this very interesting and informative conversation.
It sent me to research theoretical and speculative historical gaps between Firestone's discussion of patriarchy (via Durkheim) and Dee Graham's use of the psychology of Stockholm Syndrome - looking for intervening historical traces of that psychology at work to create the culture that teaches women subordination. Apropos of all this, I've stumbled on this literary history text, which dovetails with the webinar discussion: "Hebrew-French Wedding Songs: Expressions of Identity" by Kirsten A. Fudeman in Vernacular Voices: Language and Identity in Medieval French Jewish Communities, University of Pennsylvania Press (2010) (pp. 124-150) (available on JSTOR). Explores courtly romance literature and medieval Jewish wedding literature and music, and the literature explicitly or implicitly describing rough or forced consummation of the wedding night, abductions, etc. Takes the historical "evidence" back about 700 years.

this channel is the best and it needs more interaction, so it gets at least some of the attention from the algorithm it deserves!!! ✳❇💮🏵🌹🥀🌺🌻🌼

I think there's I also societal narcissism in men..in fact, I suspect both are genetic by now

[dragonfox.]

So, I guess we can't even talk on this misogynistic platform anymore, HUH?
