A lot of people invoking the Marxist concept of materialism do not understand what it means and end up repeating the same metaphysical/mechanical/Feuerbach-type thinking from which he originally differentiated himself.

Intro to Collette Guillaumain’s book that outlines the specific contribution materialist feminism makes to discussions about gender and sex:

To me it just feels so transactional. It also kind of suggests that the solution is for the wife to “give into” the husband’s pleading because she’s “depriving” him. That doesn’t sound like a mutually consensual situation done out of reciprocal enjoyment.

Whenever someone (usually a man) complains that their partner (usually a woman) is “withholding” sex from them, it tells me a lot about their dynamic. Sex isn’t seen as a cooperative expression of passion/affection/etc. but rather a resource, “gatekept” and one-sided in desire.

A bunch of free reads that document the history of TERFism and how it became the women’s wing of the global new right:

TERFs will try to convince you that they own feminist radicalism and therefore you must agree with them if you oppose libfems. This is not true. TERFism is a mixture of cultural feminism and the Vatican’s anti-gender movement. They are not our fellow radicals.

Opposing TERFs is about identifying them as the reactionaries they are. These are people who have aligned themselves with the right-wing moral panic against “gender ideology” which stereotypes the trans community as menacing “TRAs” who pose an existential threat to ciis women.

That poster is the perfect complement to the gender critical portrayal of transmasculinity, which invokes the image of an innocent white girl who has been lost as a reproductive resource for the continuation of the white race.

Much to be said about this visual and the neofascist configuration of transness as a threat to the patriarchal order. Transfemininity specifically is portrayed as a seductive, corrupting force that robs societies of future patriarchs.

Also there are so many feminists who just pick up a few quotes from the 80s and then start telling other people what feminism is definitively. No investigation, no right to speak!

Anyone interested in feminism should take the time to study its history, the different branches, and the major debates between them. Too many just throw on the label like it’s a social club.

Donate to Gaza Food baskets are still being distributed to families in displacement camps despite the enormous difficulties, but relief teams are facing a severe shortage of resources and support. Don't leave families to face hunger and suffering alone! https://t.co/lyrlMP9MLY

It takes nothing away from feminism to acknowledge how transmisogyny works. It enriches it actually! And the concept of a universal Woman needs to be abandoned ASAP.

There are people out there who seem to sincerely think that trans women are engaging in some sort of “cultural appropriation” of Womanhood™️ whenever they rightfully name the violence they face as misogyny.
