The media and internet has been in uproar about two XY intersex males competing in the women's boxing during the 2024 Olympics. We discuss the history of intersex males competing in women's sport at the Olympics, second-wave feminist Shulamith Firestone's understanding of racialised intrasexual competition and racial solidarity towards men as part of heterosexual competition, DEI, 'white feminism', women's rugby player Ilona Maher, and disqualified intersex athlete Caster Semenya. Plus, lesbophobia in boxing, moralism and moralising, continental philosophy vs. analytic philosophy, why the upper middle-class are often thick as lack knowledge from experience, liberals as conflict avoidant, and the U.K. utterly falling apart over the last few weeks.

Committed: On Meaning and Madwomen (Vintage, 2024) is a critical memoir about women, reading, and mental illness. When Suzanne Scanlon was a student at Barnard in the 90s, grieving the loss of her mother—feeling untethered and swimming through inarticulable pain—she made a suicide attempt that landed her in the New York State Psychiatric Institute. After nearly three years and countless experimental treatments, Suzanne left the ward on shaky legs. In the decades after, Suzanne came to understand her suffering as part of something larger: a long tradition of women whose complicated and compromised stories of self-actualization are reduced to “crazy chick” and “madwoman” narratives. She searched for more books, more woman writers, as the journey of her life converged with her journey through the literature that shaped her. Committed is a story of discovery and of questioning linear and neat ideas of recovery. It reclaims the idea of the madwoman as a template for insight and transcendence through the works of Audre Lorde, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, Janet Frame, Shulamith Firestone, and others. Suzanne Scanlon is the author of the memoir Committed, which was recently published with from Vintage in Spring 2024. She is also the author of two works of fiction, Promising Young Women (Dorothy, 2012) and Her 37th Year, An Index (Noemi, 2015). Her writing has appeared in Granta, BOMB, Fence, The Iowa Review, Electric Literature's Recommended Reading, Los Angeles Review of Books, The Millions, and elsewhere. Scanlon has a BA from Barnard College and both an MFA and an MA from Northwestern University. Learn more about your ad choices.

Con su autora, Sophie Lewis: "¿Y si la familia no fuera el único horizonte posible, ni siquiera el más deseable? En esta dirección, Lewis rastrea la historia de las demandas abolicionistas de la familia, desde el socialismo utópico de Charles Fourier hasta el Manifiesto comunista y los escritos de la bolchevique rusa Alexandra Kollontai; desde la política antifamilia, tan característica de la década de 1960, en feministas radicales como Shulamith Firestone y los homosexuales progresistas, hasta los marxistas queer del siglo XXI. La conclusión no deja de ser radical: solo pensando más allá de la familia podemos comenzar a imaginar lo que podría venir después"
Locals Questions January 2024Hey Stef, when evaluating people's love for me, can you elaborate on what exactly "their love for me" looks like?You mentioned recently that you "had a long way to go" after asking us "what are the ways a woman shows a man she loves him?" and I found myself puzzling it out after.If "love" is our involuntary response to virtue if we are virtuous, then our perception of love towards us would be: involuntary responses.Which could include lust but would really be an entire lifetime of the woman's responses, given that we as the man are virtuous ourselves over that lifetime.And I feel like I'm really close to circular reasoning in this definition, except, as a man, in being virtuous I would only be in a relationship with a similarly worshipful woman whose love "required" my own "involuntariness" towards her as well.So what would your answer be to the question: how does a woman show a man that she love's him?Bitcoin question.Why aren't parallel economy businesses transacting in Bitcoin? Isn't transitioning onto Bitcoin the best thing we could be doing to divest from the federal reserve and defang the state? Is it just that people are stupid and don't get it? The only credible answer I can think of could be that it could be hard to do taxes maybe?Hi stef, could you please expound on what is and isn't prostitution, relating to marriage ?My friend's mom got pregnant by his bio-dad, then left him for an older guy who raised my friend.She then divorced his new dad to sleep around and when she couldn't find a man who makes more money she came back to his dad.Thank you.Do you think it's beneficial in any way to keep kids innocent and naive as long as possible? For example, keeping the magic of Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy alive opposed to telling them they aren't real?Given a family with a cowardly father and a domineering mother, do you think that this is a breeding ground for feminist daughters? I was on a date with a girl a while ago who told me that her mother was viciously verbally abusive towards her, but that her father was 'very supportive' of her, teaching her things like how to paint her nails. In a follow-up conversation, she told me that I was being disrespectful to women because I said I am not a feminist.This is interesting to me because I have often heard it said that staunch feminist women often come from households where the father is actively abusive while the mother is cowardly. You can see this borne out in the early life of the feminist Shulamith Firestone. However, could the opposite scenario, where the mother is the actively abusive parent, produce a feminist for a different reason?Her father had the power to intervene in the abuse but did nothing. My hypothesis is that in this woman's mind, with her father as evidence, men do not deserve the larger share of corporate, political, and cultural power they wield in the world because they are cowards who don't act to solve the world's problems (which she would define as racism, sexism, homophobia etc.). Therefore, feminism: "women need to occupy 50% of the positions in every power structure" presumably to act as a check on the power of men who are, in her view, derelict in their duties.Additionally, given that her father did not use his position of power to protect his daughter, then in her mind there's no evidence that men have earned their power in the world; the only reason that men could have more power than women is because of a male conspiracy against women.Transcript: https://freedomain.com/the-true-origins-of-feminism-transcript/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Get my new series on the Truth About the French Revolution, access to the audiobook for my new book 'Peaceful Parenting,' StefBOT-AI, private livestreams, premium call in shows, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2022
Shulamith Firestone (1945-2012) was the “fireball” of second wave feminism. At a time when women held almost no major elected positions and couldn't even have their own credit cards, she wrote of a future in which gender oppression would finally disappear. This month, we're highlighting Ragers: women who used their anger— often righteous, though not always— to accomplish extraordinary things. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Liz Smith, Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Ale Tejeda, Sara Schleede, and Abbey Delk.

What if family were not the only place you might hope to feel safe, loved, cared for and accepted? What if we could do better than the family? We need to talk about the family. For those who are lucky, families can be filled with love and care, but for many they are sites of pain: from abandonment and neglect, to abuse and violence. Nobody is more likely to harm you than your family. Even in so-called happy families, the unpaid, unacknowledged work that it takes to raise children and care for each other is endless and exhausting. It could be otherwise: in this urgent, incisive polemic, leading feminist critic Sophie Lewis makes the case for family abolition. Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation (Verso, 2022) traces the history of family abolitionist demands, beginning with nineteenth century utopian socialist and sex radical Charles Fourier, the Communist Manifesto and early-twentieth century Russian family abolitionist Alexandra Kollontai. Turning her attention to the 1960s, Lewis reminds us of the anti-family politics of radical feminists like Shulamith Firestone and the gay liberationists, a tradition she traces to the queer marxists bringing family abolition to the twenty-first century. This exhilarating essay looks at historic rightwing panic about Black families and the violent imposition of the family on indigenous communities, and insists: only by thinking beyond the family can we begin to imagine what might come after. Sophie Lewis is a freelance writer living in Philadelphia, teaching courses for the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research. Her first book was Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family, and her essays have appeared in the New York Times, Harper's, Boston Review, n+1, the London Review of Books and Salvage. Sophie studied English, Politics, Environment and Geography at Oxford, the New School, and Manchester University, and is now an unpaid visiting scholar at the Feminist, Queer and Transgender Studies Center at the University of Pennsylvania. Oana Uiorean is a Romanian writer and translator. She writes and thinks about communism and feminism while raising children and organising women's strikes. She curates the book series Bread&Roses on feminist theory and practice for the publisher frACTalia. Her debut novel is Aporia.Dezbărații (frACTalia, 2019). A pamphlet on socialist revolutionary feminism is forthcoming, as well as a book for our comrades the children. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sophie Lewis is a freelance writer living in Philadelphia, teaching courses for the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research. Her first book was Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family, and her essays have appeared in the New York Times, Harper's, Boston Review, n+1, the London Review of Books and Salvage. Sophie studied English, Politics, Environment and Geography at Oxford, the New School, and Manchester University, and is now an unpaid visiting scholar at the Feminist, Queer and Transgender Studies Center at the University of Pennsylvania. Oana Uiorean is a Romanian writer and translator. She writes and thinks about communism and feminism while raising children and organising women's strikes. She curates the book series Bread&Roses on feminist theory and practice for the publisher frACTalia. Her debut novel is Aporia.Dezbărații (frACTalia, 2019). A pamphlet on socialist revolutionary feminism is forthcoming, as well as a book for our comrades the children. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
What if family were not the only place you might hope to feel safe, loved, cared for and accepted? What if we could do better than the family? We need to talk about the family. For those who are lucky, families can be filled with love and care, but for many they are sites of pain: from abandonment and neglect, to abuse and violence. Nobody is more likely to harm you than your family. Even in so-called happy families, the unpaid, unacknowledged work that it takes to raise children and care for each other is endless and exhausting. It could be otherwise: in this urgent, incisive polemic, leading feminist critic Sophie Lewis makes the case for family abolition. Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation (Verso, 2022) traces the history of family abolitionist demands, beginning with nineteenth century utopian socialist and sex radical Charles Fourier, the Communist Manifesto and early-twentieth century Russian family abolitionist Alexandra Kollontai.

Sophie Lewis returns to This Is Hell on Tuesday, October 4th to speak with host Chuck Mertz about her new book, Abolish the Family, out on Verso, October 2022. Sophie Lewis is the author of Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family (Verso, 2019), hailed by Donna Haraway as “the seriously radical cry for full gestational justice that I long for.” Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation (Verso, 2022) is her second book. As a member of the faculty of Brooklyn Institute for Social Research, Sophie teaches courses on feminist, trans and queer politics and philosophy, including family abolitionism, Shulamith Firestone, and Kathi Weeks. With the Out of the Woods writing collective, Lewis contributed to the collection Hope Against Hope: Writings on Ecological Crisis (Common Notions, 2020). With Blind Field Journal, she has helped foster communities of Marxist-feminist cultural criticism. Previously, Dr. Lewis studied English Literature (BA) and Nature, Society and Environmental Policy (MSc) at Oxford University; Politics (MA) at the New School for Social Research; and Geography (PhD) at Manchester University. Her doctoral dissertation, “Cyborg Labor: Exploring Surrogacy as Gestational Work,” sought to reframe the political economy of contract pregnancy for the purposes of an antiwork polymaternalist utopianism. Sophie's essays and commentaries appear in venues such as n+1, Boston Review, The Nation, The Baffler, Mal, e-flux, the New York Times and London Review of Books; her papers appear in, e.g., Signs, Paragraph, and Feminist Theory. A Visiting Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Research on Feminist, Queer and Transgender Studies, Sophie is nevertheless a freelance writer dependent on public speaking and Patreon (patreon.com/reproutopia). Her lectures are archived at lasophielle.org.
In this episode we talk to Sarah Franklin, a leading figure in feminist science studies and the sociology of reproduction. In this tour de force of IVF ethics and feminism through the ages, Sarah discusses ethical issues in reproductive technologies, how they compare to AI ethics, how feminism through the ages can help us, Shulamith Firestone's techno-feminist revolution, and the violence of anti-trans movement across the world.

Welcome to part one of our "Waves" episodes everyone! This is month one of season one here at Grabbing Back, THE place for all things feminist theory and good chat. We're chatting to the amazing Gillian Love about ‘the waves of feminism'; when were they, what were they, did they even exist and what should we, as modern feminists learn or critique about them. Content warning: discussions touched on homophobia and transphobia - without graphic details. References and recommendations This is a list of some of the sources mentioned in this episode, plus other recommended texts on the theme of first and second wave feminism. This is by no means an exhaustive list, and we recommend them not as a full-throated support of all of their contents, but as representations of particular feminist positions. First wave feminism Mary Wollestonecraft. 1792. A Vindication of the Rights of Women – The ‘proto-feminist' text Sojourner Truth. 1851. ‘Ain't I A Woman?' – Speech at the 1851 Akron Women's Convention – speaking back to white-centric views of womanhood and feminism and arguing for abolition of slavery. Second wave feminism Betty Friedan. 1963. The Feminine Mystique. – Argues that women are not simply fulfilled by the role of housewife and mother. Shulamith Firestone. 1970. The Dialectic of Sex. – A socialist feminist take on sex, reproduction, and gender relations. Content note: its sections on race are widely critiqued and reflect arguably racist ideology. Andrea Dworkin. 1974. Woman Hating. – A radical feminist text on the representation of women, including in pornography. Andrea Dworkin. 1984. Intercourse. – A radical feminist text on sex, heterosexual dynamics, and violence. Catherine McKinnon. 1989. Toward a Feminist Theory of the State – An examination of the basis of gender inequality through the lens of political and legal theory. Combahee River Collective Statement. 1977 – A manifesto for Black Feminism, a movement running concurrently to, but somewhat separate from, Second Wave Feminism. Bell Hooks. 1981. Ain't I A Woman? Black Women and Feminism. – An influential Black Feminist text. Kimberlé Crenshaw. 1989. Mapping the Margins: Intersectionality, Identity Politics, and Violence against Women of Color. Stanford Law Review, Vol. 43, No. 6, pp. 1241-1299 – Highly influential article credited with coining the term ‘intersectionality.' Important within Black feminism, this concept would go on to be central to the third wave too.
In de tweede aflevering geeft Evelien een overzicht van theorieën over de oorzaak van bifobie & monoseksisme. Ook praat ze met Maysa over identiteit, labels en panseksualiteit.

Ikzelf ben er vooral mee in contact gekomen in het radicaal feminisme, bijvoorbeeld Gayle Rubin of Shulamith Firestone (radicaal libertaire visies) of Adrienne Rich (radicaal culturele visie). Hoewel ze allemaal linken leggen tussen heteroseksualiteit en kapitalisme, hebben deze auteurs sterk uiteenlopende theorieën. Homonormativiteit is een concept dat veel voorkomt in de literatuur. Het bestaat sinds de jaren 90 en werd gepopulariseerd door: Lisa Duggan. 2003.

Proverbs 28:4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, But such as keep the law contend with them.Pelosi Is Trying to Erase the Family https://noqreport.com/2021/12/27/the-endgame-of-transgender-ideology-is-to-dismantle-the-family/ “Nancy Pelosi and her fellow gender-inclusive enthusiasts have taken a bold and much-disparaged move to erase language that expresses the reality of familial relationships. In the name of inclusivity, words like “father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law” have been targeted for erasure from House proceedings.” “If pursued, this scrubbing of gendered words from public communications in concert with other trans-inclusive initiatives will prove seismic in its effect on society. Pelosi and her associates are echoing the socialist-feminist ideology articulated by Shulamith Firestone in the 1970s: “It has become necessary to free humanity from the tyranny of its biology” and “eliminate the sex distinction itself [so that] genital differences between human beings would no longer matter culturally.” At its core, this means that male and female manifestations of the human body should no longer be legally recognized or culturally valued. We have been marching down this road for decades and are now approaching the endgame: a genderless society. The vilification of gendered language in public settings is a significant leap toward “freeing humanity from the tyranny of its biology” and undoing the significance of biological sex.MSNBC is against Unemployment for the Unvaccinated https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/republicans-are-fans-unemployment-insurance-if-it-undermines-vaccine-mandates-n1286659 “I am sort of charmed by the GOP's newfound commitment to a more accessible welfare state. It's a quiet admission that a robust safety net is a way to protect the people's well-being from tyranny in the workplace. But nowhere in this mandate-hostile worldview is there a serious commitment to the freedom of the nearly three-quarters of adults in the U.S. who have gotten vaccinated not to be subjected to the increased risk of being around the imperiously unvaccinated. Many in the GOP have made it clear that they find the freedom to expose others to harm to be their greatest cause.Why Are Hospitals really strained? https://www.vox.com/coronavirus-covid19/22849829/covid-omicron-variant-cases-surge-us-hospitals

Eles são ideólogos vorazes que veem a sociedade a luz de seus próprios anseios radicais e fundamentalistas, porém seu fundamento e moral são pautados apenas em si mesmos ou naquilo que se identificam de modo completar e arbitrário, tão diferentes mas tão iguais, a meu ver, por conta disto, formam o "casal" do século XXI, o século, até agora, desesperado por significado mas perdido na dialética da engenharia social desfragmentada... Ou não. Considerem pois, esse podcast como continuação da minha série, pensadores da extrema direita, mas tome nota que aqui acrescentei Firestone, uma neomarxista feminista, apenas como contraste à Donovan, ambos extremistas e sectários.

Professor Kozlowski continues his discussion of Love in the 20th Century by examining the four waves of feminism and touching on several important texts written by feminist authors on the subject of Love: namely Simone De Beauvoir's The Second Sex, Shulamith Firestone's The Dialectic of Sex, Annette Baier's "Unsafe Loves", and Virgina Held's The Ethics of Care.

This bonus episode is the second half of our conversation with Rosi Braidotti. In this part, Braidotti discusses the culture wars, genealogies of Black feminisms, the relationship between gender and capitalism, the rise of neoliberal feminism and the effect that has had on solidarities between generations of feminists, and of course, the feminist posthuman project. She takes us from Virginia Woolf to Alice Walker, Paul Preciado to Shulamith Firestone. She explains why Firestone predicted some of reproductive possibilities we now had on offer, but failed to see that capitalism, not revolution, would be the source of these reproductive freedoms. She explains why corporations like IBM that have been thinking about gender as a spectrum, inherit these ideas from John Money and the gender reassignment clinics back in the 60s, and why most good predictions about capitalism can be attributed to Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. We hope you enjoy the show.

A unique voice in the feminist movement, Firestone's Dialectic of Sex was a best-selling revolutionary text arguing that we need to end traditional gender/sex roles. Science, she argued, had finally allowed total domination of humans over nature, so it was time this domination was used to free women from their 'natural' roles.

We’re back to one of our usual themes this week--creepy babies! We take on Ira Levin’s 1967 genre novel Rosemary’s Baby, which asks if pregnancy, neighbors, or husbands are the most creepy (they’re all creepy AF.) The DEVIL HIMSELF shows up in the form of a tin whistle in this episode, and there is much discussion of (maybe poison) smoothies, the terror domestic, and HIPAA regulations (turns out they’re useful). We read the Pegasus Books edition, with an introduction by Otto Penzler. We mention Sophie Lewis’s spectacular Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family, published this year by Verso Books, which argues for a utopian notion of communal and communist belonging against blood parenthood and nuclear familial ties. If you’re into this sort of thing, we also recommend Shulamith Firestone’s manifesto, The Dialectic of Sex.

Ameriška teoretičarka in aktivistka Shulamith Firestone je bila ena izmed ključnih figur feminističnega gibanja v sedemdesetih let dvajsetega stoletja. Po izidu svoje prve knjige Dialektika spola je nekoliko utonila v pozabo, danes pa s svojim premislekom o tehnologiji in njeni uporabi nagovarja mlajše feministke. Več o avtorici bo povedala filozofinja in publicistka Katja Čičigoj, prevajalka Dialektike spola in avtorica temeljite spremne besede. Nikar ne zamudite. Foto: Marko Golja

Joyce Antler is the Samuel J. Lane Professor Emerita of American Jewish history and culture at Brandeis University. Jewish Radical Feminism: Voices from the Women's Liberation Movement (New York University Press, 2018) provides richly detailed biographies of known and unknown Jewish women from Shulamith Firestone to Aviva Cantor, who were the backbone of the movement. Their backgrounds hidden from historical view, and unrecognized, are brought to light. Many Jewish radical women emerged from the New Left and went on to create local women-centered groups such as the Gang of Four, Boston Women's Health Collective, and Bread and Roses. How they navigated their experiences of being both Jewish and feminists provides insight into Jewish life and the relationship between religion, ethnic identity and feminism. In their diversity, from holding on to a traditional faith making room for feminism, to those who pulled away to lead secular lives, they encountered anti-Semitism, stereotypes, and connections across differences. The book demonstrates the rich contribution of Jewish values and identity had on the women's liberation movement and how in turn they changed Jewish life in America. Lilian Calles Barger is a cultural, intellectual and gender historian. Her recent book is entitled The World Come of Age: An Intellectual History of Liberation Theology (Oxford University Press, 2018). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Joyce Antler is the Samuel J. Lane Professor Emerita of American Jewish history and culture at Brandeis University. Jewish Radical Feminism: Voices from the Women’s Liberation Movement (New York University Press, 2018) provides richly detailed biographies of known and unknown Jewish women from Shulamith Firestone to Aviva Cantor, who were the backbone of the movement. Their backgrounds hidden from historical view, and unrecognized, are brought to light. Many Jewish radical women emerged from the New Left and went on to create local women-centered groups such as the Gang of Four, Boston Women’s Health Collective, and Bread and Roses. How they navigated their experiences of being both Jewish and feminists provides insight into Jewish life and the relationship between religion, ethnic identity and feminism. In their diversity, from holding on to a traditional faith making room for feminism, to those who pulled away to lead secular lives, they encountered anti-Semitism, stereotypes, and connections across differences. The book demonstrates the rich contribution of Jewish values and identity had on the women’s liberation movement and how in turn they changed Jewish life in America.

The first episode of Coffee Break Feminism, where host, Brit Alexandria, breaks down the different waves of American Feminism, recalls the story of Shulamith Firestone, and gives her opinion on the ultimate future of fourth wave feminism.
Feminisme is een lelijk woord geworden - of is dat het altijd al geweest? Heleen Debruyne onderzoekt hoe feministen nooit in een vacuüm opereren, maar altijd kinderen van hun tijd zijn. Ze maakt een tocht langs feministische voormoeders als Mary Woolstonecraft, Flora Tristan, de sufragettes, Simone de Beauvoir, Shulamith Firestone en Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, om vandaag te eindigen. Hebben we dat lelijke woord nog nodig? Heleen Debruyne (1988) studeerde geschiedenis en journalistiek. Ze werkt bij Klara en schrijft voor onder andere De Morgen en Humo. In 2016 verscheen De plantrekkers, haar romandebuut. In november 2017 verscheen haar boek Vuile lakens. Een hedendaagse visie op seksualiteit, waarin ze samen met Anaïs Van Ertvelde blootlegt dat seksuele vrijheid een illusie is. Lezing op zondag 25 maart 2018 in de Erfgoedbibliotheek Hendrik Conscience. Meer over de Erfgoedbibliotheek Hendrik Conscience?
