Women should not be penalized for being women. Equally, men should not be penalized for being men. I fear that in overly politically correct western Christian democracies, the latter is occurring. It should not be...

Pornography as propaganda, according to feminist analysis, represents women as objects who love to be abused, and teaches men practices of degradation and abuse to carry out upon women.

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:...

Women are prevented by the threat and reality of male violence from entering public space on equal terms with male citizens.

But too often men react to women in positions of power with misogyny, often in sexualized terms. I have heard men in such situations talk about how “I’d like to fuck that bitch and teach...

This condition in which women live is created out of, and defended by, a system of ideas represented by the world’s religions, by psychoanalysis, by pornography, by sexology, by science and medicine and the social...

Many women, I think, resist feminism because it is an agony to be fully conscious of the brutal misogyny which permeates culture, society, and all personal relationships.

The bonding of women that is woman-loving, or Gyn/affection, is very different from male bonding. Male bonding has been the glue of male dominance. It has been based upon recognition of the difference men see...

Woman-identification is a source of energy, a potential springhead of female power, violently curtailed and wasted under the institution of heterosexuality. The denial of reality and visibility to women’s passion for women, women’s choice of...

Fundamental to a radical and lesbian feminist politics is the understanding that ‘the personal is political’. This phrase has two interrelated meanings. It means that the political power structures of the ‘public’ world are reflected...

Pornography is to sex what McDonalds is to food. A plasticized, generic version of the real thing.

The scope of the transgender empire may be reaching its peak, as transcriticism is increasing at a fast pace both within activist feminism and from wives and regretters. There is an increasing groundswell of criticism...

In the studies I have directed, and in my international experience speaking with women in prostitution, the majority of women in prostitution come from marginalized groups with a history of sexual abuse, drug and alcohol...

Radical feminist theorists do not seek to make gender a bit more flexible, but to eliminate it. They are gender abolitionists, and understand gender to provide the framework and rationale for male dominance. In the...

If women really choose prostitution, why is it mostly marginalized and disadvantaged women who do? If we want to discuss the issue of choice, let’s look at who is doing the actual choosing in the...

The effect of legalised prostitution on women outside prostitution is to lower the status of all women. Women are recognised by the state in this system as the appropriate objects of male penetration with no...

What is acted out on the female body parallels the larger practices of domination, fragmentation, and conquest against the earth body, which is being polluted, strip-mined, deforested, and cut up into parcels of private property....

Male domination, and the low and stigmatised status of women, cause teenage girls to engage in punishment of their bodies through eating disorders and self-mutilation. There is increasing evidence that woman-hating Western cultures are toxic...

It should not be a surprise to find that s/m fantasy is significant in women’s sex lives. Women may be born free but they are born into a system of subordination. We are not born...

Masculinity is part of a binary and requires its opposite, since, in the absence of femininity, masculinity would have no meaning.
