  1. On 10 June 1907, the first edition of Tianyi (天義 – Natural Justice), a #Chinese #anarchist #feminist #magazine , was published in exile in #Tokyo. It had been founded by He-Yin Zhen (何震 – He "thunderclap"), a leading member of the #WomensRights Recovery Association (女子妇权会).

    The Association advocated forceful #resistance against #oppression by men, as well as that by #capitalists and the ruling class. It also forbade its own members from being subservient to men or becoming a concubine or second wife, while offering to come to the assistance of any member who was being abused by their husband, or under some other form of male dominance. He-Yin urged:

    "You women, do not hate the man: hate that you don't have food to eat. Why don't you have food to eat? Because you can't buy food without money. Why don't you have money? Because the rich have stolen our property and walk all over the majority of the people."

    Tianyi argued for a #SexualRevolution and the abolition of the family, which it believed gave rise to selfishness, #patriarchy and private property.

    He-Yin also argued that #women forming part of a government would be inadequate for the #liberation of women, believing that while a few women might be able to join the ruling class, they would only join men in oppressing everyone else. And so liberation would only come with the overthrowing of both patriarchy and the state:

    "What we mean by equality between the sexes is not just that men will no longer oppress women. We also want men no longer to be oppressed by other men and women no longer to be oppressed by other women."

    In total, 19 issues of the journal published over the next couple of years.

  2. Bari Weiss' big L.A. debate was less 'free expression' than self-promotion

    “Former New York Times opinion writer and full-time agitator #BariWeiss moderated the most-certainly-not-right-wing-how-could-you-even-suggest-such-a-thing event, which kicked off with comedian #TimDillon joking about transgender teens and how bored he was with the war in Ukraine.”

  3. CW: TMI, brief mention of queerness/kink, reaction toSalon article about women-focused raunch comedies and the failures of the sexual revolution

    Seriously, I have spent my entire adult life deeply ashamed of how relatively few sexual partners I've had compared to my friends, always feeling like I could be sexy and sexual and desirable if given the chance, but I'm not conventionally attractive, I'm mentally ill, and I'm autistic. Plus I only relatively recently realized I'm #queer and #kinky. At this point, I'm also too old for what society considers "desirable" in women. What I'm trying to say is that I'm not the sort of person society allows to be sexy or sexual or desiring or desirable. I wish I could have had a more sexually liberated life, but the #pandemic stole any hope of that from me. But I guess I can hope that future generations can have what I didn't. (I will probably be just a bit bitter about it though.)

  4. CW: Salon article about women-focused raunch comedies and the failures of the sexual revolution

    From the Salon article:
    "The rise of the label Slut (non-practicing) captures this ethos. The new iteration of the word slut is not about your body count, but a lifestyle and aesthetic. It's about wearing micro mini-skirts, being sexy, confident and empowered and yet . . . not having sex. As Tom George for i-D notes, [it's] 'an ownership of a sexuality that is completely our own, expressed through the way we dress, the way we strut down the street whilst listening to Doja Cat, our horny bookstyling and thotty digital footprint.' Sorry boys, we actually don't need you for us to be sexual."

    Yay! I finally get to be a slut! It's all I ever wanted to be! I'm not even joking about this--I'm dead serious. *Cries in teen years spent stuck in #ChristoFascist #PurityCulture*

  5. CW: Salon article about women-focused raunch comedies and the failures of the sexual revolution

    I feel like if all the movies and tv shows mentioned in this Salon article had come out ten years ago, as well as the concept of being a "nonpracticing slut," then my life would have been completely different and so much better in so many ways.

    Here's hoping this era of raunchy, women-focused comedy combined with a cultural rethinking of what sexuality means leads to a genuine sexual liberation.

  6. CW: Dirty words, sexual revolution, AIDS

    There was a cruel window in the early 1980s during which it was possible to pass through puberty steeped in the delicious propaganda of the #SexualRevolution with its alluring promises of easy #sex and #promiscuity, only to watch in horror during your teen years as the #AIDS crisis annihilated it all and buried it in fearful and grudgingly-pair-bonded layers of latex, before you ever got your first adult taste of #pussy or #cock. Ask me how I know. #FreeLove
