its arguments are violently sanist and justify the coercive reorientation of mad people to "consensus reality". like i'm begging y'all to be a little more critical of your parasocial fave, this book is grossly sexist and racist, particularly in its atrocity denialism re: science.

i did not remember this 😭🤬

i'm in the midwest, though luckily in a blue state

“How about women don’t drink so much if they don’t want to get raped?” Check him for Nazi tattoos.

judith's dagger has a good essay on this: immerautonom.noblogs.org/sex-desire-a...

rape is bad and sex is good, therefore rape must not be a kind of sex at all. this is absurd and very much not what feminist critiques of the "uncontrollable desire" model of rape were trying to argue. they absolutely criticized our culture for constructing "sex" in patriarchal, rapey terms.

liberal sex positive feminists have taken this basic idea - that rape is driven by a desire to exercise power, not uncontrollable horniness - and used it to cast sexual violence outside the domain of "sex" entirely. this is often rooted in a tendency to essentialize sex as neutral or even good.

indigenous systems of knowledge production did not and do not need legitimization by way of their alleged similarity to white western science, they do not need approval from that or any other western discourse full stop

yes definitely appreciated that!
