Hello

The Pullman thread sent me down a Twitter rabbit hole that stalled when I got to this

mobile.twitter.com/alisonphipps/status/1411387723034902531

Some extracts from their book are there- have a read (not sure how to put the text here!).

I found the extracts totally fascinating. If I knew nothing about this topic, I'd think well. IMO clear, succinct. Persuasive in the confidence of the points/ arguments.

Thing is it's... I suppose maybe true for an American USA context for the religious right who I would imagine fit what's written more or less.

Of course it's referring to all women who think sex is a thing that matters.

Would love to discuss if anyone wants?

@NiceGerbil

The author won't discuss or support their statements.

They don't need to.

As you noted, on twitter there are stacks of people who gobble up this stuff.

My reason for posting wasn't to discuss/ refute their views.

It was more that those views which are to me very extreme- accusations. Wanting to harm women. Eugenics hinted at.

Mega off the scale claims. About ordinary women who say hold on cock in the prison etc. That they are essentially evil.

And for those who have got on board and are now locked into it. The arguments are getting more extreme and PEOPLE ARE BUYING THEM.

WiSpa. Omg Victorian. It's only a dick. Little girls and women should get over their hangups etc.

At this point all bets are off. They can take it anywhere. And remember all the orgs that are on board with this. They too can't/ won't back out now.

The old piece defined a term which didn't pass into common use. It's in this book- I think it will start being used a lot.

Two of the arguments in that second old piece have been used recently around trans things.

The term GC is maybe not serving it's purpose any more.

Moving to reactionary feminist means these evil women also...
Exploit the idea they are victimised (vulnerable) which are not true. Bye bye. DV, rape services. Those which help women from various cultures get away (different barriers). Pay gap. Attention on 'minor' sex offences. Etc etc.
Hate 'sex workers' and want to stop them being safe and making money.
Put on an act of distress to get their own way (I can see how this would translate to rape etc)

And so on.

I know it sounds paranoid BUT. Look where we are now and so fast.

I'm worried.

I think the end game is a total annihilation of everything we have fought for and gained in the last 50 years or so.

Yes, this is what has been going on under our noses. When I heard about the Hampstead Ponds (on here, way back), I told dh this was the logical conclusion. I should have said so here.

These people lie. It is the same tactics as those found in abusive relationships. Gaslighting, grooming, threats, lies lies lies. Put on a smile for the public darling or you'll get in trouble at home = agree to the lies or you'll lose your job/reputation/usefulness.

Narcissism, abuse, MRA, TRA. Call it what you will but it all works in the same way and all leads to the same end.
