Right-Wing Women

1. Women's Conformity as a Survival Strategy

From father’s house to husband’s house to a grave that still might not be her own, a woman acquiesces to male authority in order to gain some protection from male violence.

Survival imperative. Women are often labeled "biologically conservative," a male-circulated rumor that obscures the reality of their lives. This supposed conservatism is, in fact, a forced conformity—a desperate strategy for survival in a world where male violence is a constant, unpredictable threat. Women adhere strictly to social traditions and male authority, not out of inherent nature, but to secure some measure of safety and protection.

The bargain of obedience. This conformity can range from lethargic acquiescence, where male demands slowly close in, to militant loyalty, where women become fanatical in serving men. They offer their labor, heart, soul, body, and children, hoping for protection from male violence, a bargain rarely fully honored. Resisting male control or confronting betrayal often leads to severe consequences:

• Rape, battery, destitution
• Ostracization or exile
• Confinement in mental institutions or jail
• Death

The Right's promises. The political Right exploits these deep-seated fears by offering women a structured world of "form, shelter, safety, rules, and love." This promise of order and stability, where obedience is rewarded with protection and a man's responsibility, appeals to women seeking refuge from chaos and danger. Figures like Anita Bryant and Marabel Morgan exemplify women who embrace this submission, often through religious devotion, as a path to meaning and security, even if it means denying their own suffering.

2. The Systematic Suppression of Female Intelligence

Man fucks woman; subject verb object.

Intelligence as a male domain. Male culture systematically hates and suppresses intelligence in women, viewing it as a masculine trait that must be confined or annihilated. Female intelligence is traditionally starved, isolated, and imprisoned, allowed to exist only in small, timid forms that serve male interests, such as domestic tasks or sexual appeal. This devaluation is so pervasive that similar ideas articulated by women are dismissed as stupid, while those by men are celebrated as brilliant.

The cost of intellect. Women are denied access to literacy, intellect, and creative intelligence, which are considered essential for a fully human life. If a woman dares to cultivate her mind, she faces severe punishment:

• Ostracization and ridicule
• Being labeled "masculine" or "deviant"
• Being deemed "ugly" or "deformed" by her intellect
• Forced madness or even death, as exemplified by Virginia Woolf

Sexual objectification. The ultimate reduction of a woman is to her sex organs, her function being "to be fucked and reproduce." This fundamental definition overrides any intellectual capacity. Victoria Woodhull, a rare example of a woman exercising public sexual intelligence, was vilified for exposing marital rape and compulsory intercourse, demonstrating how threatening female intellectual and sexual self-determination is to male power.

3. Abortion as a Battleground for Male Sexual Control

Intercourse is forced on women, both as a normal part of marriage and as the primary sex act in virtually any sexual encounter with a man. No woman needs intercourse; few women escape it.

The hidden history of abortion. Before legalization, illegal abortions were predominantly sought by married women with children, risking death or maiming to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Their silence about these experiences stems from profound humiliation, fear of being labeled "murderers" by men who identify with the fetus, and the trauma of forced sex and violation. This history reveals that abortion is not primarily about "shameless sluts" but about respectable women desperate to control their reproductive lives.

Male motivations for abortion rights. In the 1960s, the male-dominated Left championed abortion rights, not for women's liberation, but to ensure "fucking would not be available to men on demand" if women could not terminate pregnancies. Pregnancy was seen as a "brake" on male sexual access. When feminists used their newfound freedom to challenge male sexual terms, the male Left's support for abortion rights waned, turning into indifference or even hostility, blaming feminists for their "sexual deprivation."

Pregnancy as a weapon. Right-wing women, having observed this cynicism, view legal abortion as a tool that makes women "accessible fucks without consequence to men." They believe pregnancy is the only leverage women have to hold men accountable for sex. By accepting illegal abortion, they maintain pregnancy as a "weapon of survival," ensuring men's financial and social responsibility within marriage, even if it means risking death or suffering in silence.

4. Scapegoating Minorities to Reinforce Patriarchy

Paul introduced the hatred of homosexuality into the Judeo-Christian tradition, and he introduced the hatred of Jews into it too.

The New Testament's reinterpretation. The Christian Right's virulent hatred of homosexuals and Jews is rooted in a radical reinterpretation of the Old Testament, particularly through Paul's writings in Romans. While Old Testament prohibitions on male homosexuality were pragmatic rules to minimize intratribal sexual conflict among men, Paul transformed them into a moral abomination, linking homosexuality with Jewish "legalism" and "unnatural" acts.

Linking Jews and homosexuals. Paul's genius was to scapegoat homosexuals as "unnatural, deceitful, full of malignity, worthy of death" and then blame Jews and Jewish law for their existence. This created a powerful, enduring link between Jews and homosexuality, portraying Jews as effeminate intellectuals whose adherence to law, rather than faith, led to sin. This narrative has fueled centuries of anti-Semitism and homophobia, leading to persecution and mass murder.

Right-wing alliances. Contemporary right-wing movements, including the Christian Right, exploit these historical hatreds. They offer right-wing Jews a perceived path to safety and masculinity by:

• Repudiating homosexuality and "liberal social tolerance"
• Aligning with dominant Christian power structures
• Embracing militarism (e.g., Israel) to counter perceptions of Jewish effeminacy
  This alliance, however, places Jews on a precarious "pedestal," as the underlying anti-Semitism of "the Jews killed Christ" remains.

5. The Looming Threat of Gynocide Through Social Policy and Technology

The two days in a woman’s life a man can best enjoy are when he marries her and when he carries her dead body to the grave.

Women as expendable. When women's children "cease to be altogether desirable," women themselves "cease to be altogether necessary." This chilling reality manifests in various forms of "gynocide":

• Racist population control programs targeting poor, non-white women
• The systematic neglect and degradation of old, poor, and institutionalized women (overwhelmingly female)
• The mass drugging of women to maintain their conformity and passivity

Reproductive imperialism. Public policy increasingly protects middle-class, reproducing white women while punishing others. Welfare policies, for instance, control poor women's fertility through "suitable homes" laws, "fornication checks," and implicit pressure towards prostitution, effectively making them "expendable" if they don't conform to state-sanctioned reproductive roles. The state, acting as a "jealous lover" or "pimp," seeks absolute control over women's bodies.

Technological control. Advancing reproductive technologies—such as in vitro fertilization, sex selection, and artificial wombs—threaten to make women biologically expendable on a grand scale. These technologies shift control over conception, gestation, and birth from women to men (doctors/scientists), transforming reproduction into a commodity akin to sex in the brothel model. This will enable men to create and control the "kind of women they want," leading to a new form of holocaust where women not needed for specific functions will have no claim to dignity or protection.

6. Antifeminism as the Political Defense of Woman-Hating

Antifeminism is a direct expression of misogyny; it is the political defense of woman hating.

The essence of antifeminism. Feminism is hated because women are hated. Antifeminism is the political defense of this misogyny, asserting that women's social and sexual condition is natural, necessary, and inevitable. It justifies male abuse of women, especially in sex, as an implicit logic stemming from distinct male and female "natures." Antifeminism accommodates minor reforms but fundamentally resists any challenge to women's subordination.

Tools of denigration. Antifeminism employs a spectrum of insults—"lesbian," "slut," "prude"—to discredit, intimidate, and humiliate women who deviate from male-defined norms. These epithets are weapons, designed to remind women of their inferior status and the consequences of male anger. Their pervasive use in discourse, often passing unremarked, reinforces women's social inferiority and stifles their voices.

Three models of antifeminism:

• Separate-but-equal: Posits distinct, equally valued spheres for men (world) and women (home), but in practice, this always results in female inferiority and segregation.
• Woman-superior: Claims women are morally (chaste, intuitive) or sexually (provocative) superior, which paradoxically justifies their confinement, exploitation, or responsibility for male actions (e.g., rape).
• Male-dominant: Asserts men's natural or divine right to dominate, transforming male hostility and conquest into "love" and making women's submission a necessary bargain for protection. This model underpins all-male institutions that resist women's liberation.

7. Feminism's Revolutionary Demand: Universal Human Dignity

In discussing the rights of woman, we are to consider, first, what belongs to her as an individual, in a world of her own, the arbiter of her own destiny...

A single standard of humanity. Feminism, as a liberation movement, demands a revolutionary single standard of human dignity, indivisible by sex. It rejects the sex-class system that defines women by their sex and reproductive function, instead advocating for each woman's right to be an individual, the "arbiter of her own destiny." This vision challenges the fundamental gender polarity that underpins male supremacy.

Confronting sex-class reality. True feminism requires a rigorous, unsentimental, and continuous recognition that women constitute a class with a common condition: subordinate to men, sexually colonized, denied rights, and confined to sex and reproduction. This "circle of crimes"—rape, battery, economic exploitation, and reproductive exploitation—defines women's reality, with pornography at its heart and prostitution as its encompassing wall.

Uncompromising liberation. Feminism cannot compromise with antifeminism by accepting any element of this oppressive model. It demands:

• Breaking the circle of crimes
• Dismantling the wall of prostitution
• Annihilating the system's pornographic heart
  Any political stance that defends or passively accepts women's subordination, or sacrifices some women to sex-class oppression, is antifeminist. The goal is not merely reform but a radical reconstruction of society based on universal human dignity, where the fundamental question is the quality of life for all human beings, free from sex-based exploitation.
