I tripped over the sacred cow of establishment feminism. A feminism that grows from the premise that women are inherently victims and that feminism must act to intervene in their lives, define their experiences for them, and protect them from themselves.
We are in a collective trance where the conception of woman as broken and dependent is so woven into the social fabric that any challenge to it is attacked upon entry. To date, no one will call the game. The defense system of woman is so total that no one risks the “feminine murder” of character assassination or the embargo on Eros—the creative fuel of the feminine plane.
Like an underworld syndicate, an unconscious cabal of womanhood runs the system. No one stands up to the totalitarian tyranny of her victimhood. It is not unlike any mafia. It begins with the promise of protection, but what we call “sisterhood” has become an extortion ring. It “protects” us from being contributing, creative members of society. Because you cannot be creative until you tap into your erotic nature. But, holding the post of dealers who have made the Erotic transactional, we live by a code: don’t get high on your own supply.
We have sold our greatest resource and allowed it to be cut with greed. This cartel extorts men with the threat of accusation and women with the threat of exclusion. The “pledge of sisterhood” is a vow to never reveal our resilience, to maintain a rigorous dependency, and to never open a free market of sex. Restrict and deprive are the anthem. Drive all hungers into focusing on your weight, your neuroses, and your rights that have always “been violated.” Make sisterhood into collusion. Divide and be conquered. Cry about Supreme Court decisions and do nothing. Most importantly, do not let any woman ever become more powerful than the cartel.
But we possess agency and can withstand the consequences of our own volition. We can afford to break free from the expectation that we must pay for the protections of reputation and culture. I have forfeited these protections. I do not want to be part of a club that would kick anyone out.
