Reading List

A few basic texts to put you in the mood:

Twisty Faster. Patriarchy-Blaming The Twisty Way. How to get the most out of your patriarchy-blaming experience. Highly recommended for first-time posters. This is, in fact, the FAQ.

Andrea Dworkin. Intercourse

Andrea Dworkin. Right-Wing Women

Germaine Greer. The Female Eunuch

Simone De Beauvoir. The Second Sex. (new translation!)

Shulamith Firestone. The Dialectic of Sex

Joanna Russ. How to Suppress Women’s Writing

Valerie Solanas. S.C.U.M Manifesto. Our traditional holiday text. “To be sure he’s a `Man’, the male must see to it that the female be clearly a `Woman’, the opposite of a `Man’, that is, the female must act like a faggot.”

Barbara Ehrenreich. “Welcome To Cancerland.” “[A]lthough we may imagine ourselves to be well past the era of patriarchal medicine, obedience is the message behind the infantilizing theme in breast-cancer culture, as represented by the teddy bears, the crayons, and the prevailing pinkness.”

Feminist Primers: a blamer-generated reading list.

Here’s another blamer-generated reading list.

Blamers sound off on that shitnozzle libertarian Heinlein, sci-fi, and more!

What is this thing?

You are reading I Blame The Patriarchy, the patriarchy-blaming blog that has been advancing the radical feminist views of Twisty Faster since 2004.

I Blame The Patriarchy is intended for advanced patriarchy-blamers. It is not a feminist primer. See Patriarchy-Blaming the Twisty Way for details.

This is what the blamer should know before commenting.

"I couldn't get Twisty's point. It was so longwinded." -- The Blogosphere

NOTICE OF BLOGULAR SPORADICISM

The crushing demands of patriarchy blaming have necessitated that the blog be updated less frequently than in days of yore. Posts may or may not appear, sporadically. Readers may experience crappier than usual customer service. Please don't send emails expressing dissatisfaction with the moderation process; I am already aware that it is imperfect. Meanwhile, hang tight. Regular blaming, conforming to your exacting standards, will probably resume sooner or later.

Should you wish to flatter me with theft
