as a csa survivor i find the fact that @joannabourke.bsky.social is considered an expert on sexual violence deeply disturbing and incredibly bleak

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· May 7

we are absolutely not returning to 80s style "what if the child consents? might raping animals be boundary pushing and liberatory actually?" style "sex radical" feminism and i will do everything in my power to organize fellow survivors against this rape culture bullshit in feminist drag

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· May 7

fucking of course it was john money

i present to you without comment: Sophie Lewis vs. Catherine MacKinnon

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· May 6

god mackinnon is good

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· May 6

omg this is so fucking detached from reality like in what way was sex-radicalism destroyed?? it, like most radical movements, moderated and liberalized sure, turning into sex positive feminism. but also the more radical elements live on in queer theory.

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· May 5

can't speak for other trans women but i personally would really prefer if sophie lewis could refrain from implicitly linking pro-trans politics with pro-incest and pro-bestiality politics

HE WAS BUILDING COMMUNITY WITH LITERAL CHILD RAPISTS SOPHIE! HE WAS TRYING TO GET THE WOMEN'S LIB MOVEMENT TO START ACCEPTING NAMBLA LIKE THE GAY RIGHTS MOVEMENT HAD BEGUN TO SOPHIE!! IT'S FUCKING WEIRD AND WORRYING HOW UNCONCERNED ABOUT THAT PART YOU ARE SOPHIE!!!

For instance, one plinth of MacKinnon’s thought that still boomerangs around our present is her anti-BDSM metaphysics. In the ’80s, she spilled a lot of ink disgustedly quoting the aforementioned pioneer leather daddy, community builder, and trans man “P. Califia” on the practices and pleasures of lesbian sadomasochism—“the paradigm of male domination.”81 But decades later, a transnational radical feminist group called Liberation Collective is still arguing straight-facedly that “BDSM prevents revolution,” and warning feminists of the problem of Patrick Califia, a 1970s bogeyman responsible for “severely polluting our lesbian communities with intensely patriarchal, male-centric views on sexuality.”82

whatever your opinion on catherine mackinnon's politics, calling a preeminent feminist legal scholar "kitty" is unequivocally and absolutely misogynistic on the face of it like holy fucking shit

We are, in a way, living in the world that Kitty MacKinnon has made. In 2018, Donald Trump signed into law a couple of “anti-sex-trafficking” acts known as SESTA-FOSTA, which conflate huge swaths of sex work with human trafficking in perfect conformance with MacKinnon’s definition (derived from Josephine Butler, who meant well) that “the sine qua non of trafficking is … neither border crossing nor severe violence. It is third-party involvement.”85 Sex workers were driven en masse off the advertising website Backpage.86 MacKinnon wants OnlyFans to be next, and she might get what she wants. In 2023, an inquiry into porn’s “role in fueling violence against women and girls” by an all-party parliamentary group in the UK concluded that “all pornography should be treated as commercial sexual exploitation in law and policy.”87 The report drew on prominent MacKinnonites—Robert Jensen and Gail Dines—as two of its main witnesses.88 Dines celebrates rising feminist interest in “porn abolition” in Britain as “a resurgence of a new national movement to liberate women from misogyny and oppression.”89 Porn workers and their allies are painfully aware that a significant strand of global “neo-abolitionism” on porn (styling itself as “radical feminism”) has continued to conference, lobby, and publish against the decriminalization of sex work ever since WAP started allying itself with the carceral state in 1980.90

"an anti-identitarian Black struggle" wtf does that even mean? intersectionality emerged from the struggle for Black liberation, which is somehow anti-identitarian, unlike the struggle for Women's liberation, which is identitarian i guess?

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Apr 16

there's a reason i keep saying the the fear mongering over "recovered memory therapy" induced "false memories" (aka "false memory syndrome") is directly tied to the anti-trans moral panic

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Apr 14

just to be clear, the people who popularized "false memories" and fear mongered about "recovered memory therapy", people uncritically cited in this video, are the same people pushing "rapid onset gender dysphoria" and fear mongering about gender affirming therapy today

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Apr 13

this is a lie based on the absolutely bonkers belief that most parents *want* to believe their children have been molested, as opposed to the reality which is that children often struggle to get their parents to believe something most parents desperately want to believe is not true.

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Apr 13

god forbid survivors write about our experiences without including a whole ass sociological analysis of our abuse

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Apr 13

why do people say this as if a number of authoritarian socialist political projects didn't in fact take children away from their families and put them in state run institutions, with a particular focus on breaking up the families of ethnic and religious minorities???

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Apr 12

ok i slightly misremembered some details. points is, judy johnson's son was seen by three medical professionals and determined to have physical, medical signs of abuse *before* the police were contacted

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Apr 12

ok swear i'm not trying to drag this out but i think it is incredibly important to point out that the 1990s moral panic around "recovered memory therapy" destroying men's lives is historically and thematically connected to contemporary anti-trans panic targeting gender affirming therapies for kids.

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Apr 12

i'm sure this slaps if you simply ignore the medical evidence that at least some children at mcmartin very likely were abused cw: graphic medical descriptions of physical damage caused by csa sci-hub.st/meta/10.1177...

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Apr 11

yeah so i genuinely recommend you check out ross cheit's work on this issue, which points out that baran's case is one of the very very few examples of a genuine wrongful conviction in the daycare abuse cases of the 80s & 90s

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Apr 11

oh hey it's the very article i tried desperately to get updated based on what i was learning in my ma research about this topic, an experience that led me to research and learn more about the well documented sexist bias wikipedia!

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Mar 27

hey @outhistory.bsky.social this is an incredibly fucking weird way to talk about a group of child rapists who tried appropriate queer politics to normalize their desire to rape children

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Mar 11

wow it sure does seem like those terrible mean misandrist online feminists were absolutely right about you being a danger to women!

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Mar 11

also this is a pretty fucked up thing to say about traumatized people

“...take other people’s words’ in the most negative possible interpretation, that’s a really big thing that traumatized people, is whatever someone says to them their brain filters it through ‘what’s the most negative possible way I could interpret this’ and they believe that.”

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Mar 11

ok so maybe i'm being ridiculous in thinking this might have even the tiniest bit to do w/ the interaction i had with agro around her "men aren't trash" video but uhhh i'm not a child i have a ma in the same field as you dismissing your interlocutor because of their trauma is super gross actually

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Feb 25

these were not women who were merely concerned with "government overreach" and seeking non-carceral alternatives to protect children from sexual predators. these people were openly supportive of nambla and explicitly argued that children have a "right" to "choose" sex with adults.

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Feb 21

"dyketactics" is a top tier name for a radical lesbian direct action group

trandrea dworkin, dangerous misandrist@dangerousmisandry· Feb 20

gee @reproutopia.bsky.social i can't possibly imagine why anyone might be suspicious that allegedly anti-adult supremacy activism, especially that undertaken by adults themselves, might have sometimes been little more than cover for pro-pedophile advocacy. it's just a total fucking mystery!

love it when *other transfeminists* do the "transmisogyny is actually about misandry" bit it's super cool and doesn't at all make me want to scream and tear my fucking hair out
