The Ancient Texts
The Ancient Texts of Savage Death Island: Patriarchy-Blaming the Twisty Way
Congratulations! Your interest in blaming the patriarchy places you among some of the most elite blamers of our time. The most popular ideology in the world, patriarchy provides blamers, both amateurs and professionals, with a rich and virtually endless supply of hideous source material.
In order to make everyone’s patriarchy-blaming experience more enjoyable, I have prepared the following pamphlet which touches briefly on some of I Blame The Patriarchy’s standards and practices.
A Handbook for Commenters
This is a feminist blog. It discusses feminism from the point of view that the value of the liberation of women from patriarchal oppression is not itself a matter of debate. In order to be considered suitable for posting here, your remarks must proceed from within a framework of radical feminist theory. Thanks! Please refer …

About consent, or, the legalization of women’s humanity
The Problem with consent Although this condition does not obtain with regard to any other crime you can think of, when it comes to rape, women are currently considered to exist in a state of perpetual βyes!β. This is because βyes!β is consistent with global accords governing fair use of women. Victims of robbery or …

Antifeminism
How does this blog define “antifeminism”? From Right Wing Women by Andrea Dworkin: Antifeminism is a direct expression of misogyny: it is the political defense of woman hating. This is because feminism is the liberation movement of women. Antifeminism, in any of its political colorations, holds that the social and sexual condition of women essentially …

Godbags
A godbag is a bag full of hate and self-loathing wearing stage makeup that makes it look like a televangelist. Godbags use religion to justify the oppression of marginalized classes.

Men hate you
Q: But seriously, I’m a man and I don’t hate women, so what’s with this “Men Hate You” section? A: All men exercise — and benefit from — male privilege, whether they want to or not. The exercise of male privilege is misogyny. The spinster aunt understands that there exist men who don’t actively choose …

Miscellaneous Pronouncements
I represent neither all women nor all feminists as an elected spokesperson. Neither does any other woman of your acquaintance (this includes your wife, your girlfriend, that stripper friend of yours, and the characters on “Sex In The City”). Neither does it automatically fall upon me to defend the opinions of all other feminists. Therefore, …

Motto
Q: Did you rip off the Odd Lady’s motto from Norbizness? A: I haven’t the faintest idea what you’re talking about.

MRAs
Q: What’s an “MRA”? A: Massively [W]rong Asshole. Or ‘men’s rights activist’. Q: Why don’t the Odd Lady want none of them in her car? A: MRAs are patriarchy-deniers. The ideologies of this violent and knobbish subset of the Male Dominion spring from male fear of women’s personal sovereignty, and manifest in practice as active …

Opposing viewpoints
Dissenting opinions must clearly exhibit philosophic value. Antifeminist comments will not be admitted into discussion (except as comic relief). Disruptive comments, and responses to them, will be removed. Please click here for the definition of antifeminism I use on this blog. With my keen sense of the inevitable, I divine that you are about to …

Patriarchy blaming, dudeliness, and you
Dude, could this be you? How am I, as a “straight” man, who has never EVER been violent towards a woman (or a guy for that matter), supposed to “step up and take responsibility for ending male violence”? Do you really think a “matriarchy” would be any better? What is wrong with being attracted to …

Post Reproduction
Q: I totally agree with your brilliant analysis! Should I reproduce your post in its entirety on my own blog? A: I can’t stop you, but, you know, what the fuck? Write your own post. This is what separates discourse from cutting and pasting. When you quote me or anyone else, or when you paraphrase …

Welcome To Cancerland
Welcome to Cancerland: A Mammogram Leads to a Cult of Pink Kitsch by Barbara Ehrenreich I was thinking of it as one of those drive-by mammograms, one stop in a series of mundane missions including post office, supermarket, and gym, but I began to lose my nerve in the changing room, and not only because …

What about the men?
Q: Men experience [oppression/rape/porn/motherhood/PMS], too! What about them? A: This blog is written for women. Its purpose is to advance radical feminism, not to empathize with male experience, or to coddle with delicate reassurances the male visitor who is threatened by a woman-centric zeitgeist. Male experiences are not commensurate with women’s experiences because women are …

Your Personal Problems
Q: Should I confide in you regarding my personal problems? A: No. However, should you ignore the preceding and act on the urge to decant your anguished soul via email, be advised that there is no Twisty-client privilege. That is, all emails received by Twisty Faster become the ‘property’ of I Blame The Patriarchy insofar …

S.C.U.M. Manifesto
S.C.U.M. Manifesto (Society for Cutting Up Men) by Valerie Solanas 1968 [swiped from womynkind.org] Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and …
