Pearl Davis is so profoundly stupid she must have a humiliation kink to keep speaking in public.

Anyway I would submit that those who insist that any attack on male supremacy or articulation of men’s exploitation and abuse of women is unacceptable and suspicious do indeed have a gender politics, and that the most apt name for it is “antifeminism.”
This essay also touches on something I’ve found especially painful: the hostility of some queer and psychoanalytic thinkers toward lesbian and radical feminist intellectuals—and the defensive, misogynist rejection of feminist idealism that motivates it. taliabhattwrites.substack.com/p/political-...

just a really good essay from bhatt on how antifeminism has used nationalism to dress itself up as feminism--and why this is so tightly connected with debates about heteropessimism and, ultimately, the love/hate relationship with lesbian feminists
"do i hate her or do i want to be her"
"yes"
"do i hate her or do i want to be her"
"yes"
@taliabhatt.itch.io remains one of the most exciting feminists working today, and now she's back cutting right into a queasy seam of the contemporary consensus--namely, the way that feminists and leftists "reconciled" themselves, and why it might be
bullshit

Every day is a reminder that feminists were right about everything, all along. Too bad the internet came together to push antifeminism back into the mainstream bc it doesn't fit neatly in a left vs. right framing that so much of today's political discourse relies on.

Wait, is that not what happened??
Did she not have to send somebody to apologize for to the Big Leader, for having criticised him in 2024??
Did she not have to promise to not get political again, to only attack other female artists? #antifeminism

The weaponized antifeminism in relation to women claiming spaces in media and talking about oppression and intersectionality has roots in older patterns, but is a distinctive evolution. I don't think anyone is arguing that it's sui generis. Like how naziism was linked to older hatreds.

it is a sign of normalized antifeminism that people just say out load with their whole chest and full conviction that it can’t possibly be a slur without so much as taking a cursory glance at feminist literature on the subject.

also. i genuinely thought the proportion of pure transphobes who actually support women’s rights meaningfully was larger than it is which means that i really did meaningfully underestimate misogyny
i sincerely did not expect open woman-hating and antifeminism to be normalized ever

This is also reflected in the resurgence of chauvenistic antifeminism, wherein the health of the nation is represented by rugged patriarchal masculinity and pursued as such - at the expense of the feminist politics that actually make everyone's lives better, if also faggier.

also got hit with "you are not the primary target of transmisogyny" after some classic intersectional antifeminism. god forbid i talk about my own fucking oppression ever, jesus fucking christ.

Had no idea who Brigitte Bardot was, but considering she’s an old French Woman, was not surprised whatsoever at the anti-Muslim bigotry.
Was super surprised at the homophobia and antifeminism though, considering that she was a French actress.

If you spend much time investigating antifeminism on the religious right, it becomes apparent they all believe, deep down, that the specific domestic arrangements and general sex roles of 1950s America were ordained by God at the beginning of time.

What these contemporary appropriations manifest is neither just sexual repression nor unleashed drives but a competing vision of the sexual (double) freedom that neoliberalism enforces... "Tradwives and bodybuilders are the cultural manifestation of the neoliberalism of the far right.”

Maybe I'm overthinking it but idk, I only ever see men and a few women previously aligned with antifeminism bring this "positive male role model, we're failing men on the left" etc stuff up so it does feel a bit like coming at this from an angle that's just gonna be patching up bateman holes forever
