RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist<p>My feminist SF web-novel <em>Mars Needed Women</em> is complete! 23,300 words in 31 chapters, one chapter posted each day throughout March, the last posted 23 minutes ago as I write this. Check out the cover art.</p><p>To read, either use the hashtag <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSMarsNeededWomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSMarsNeededWomen</span></a> or this link to the first chapter: <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/114088945266387178" translate="no" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/11408894</span><span class="invisible">5266387178</span></a> The full novel is in the thread. Just scroll to read.</p><blockquote><p>“A hopeful deeply-dystopian feminist SF story, with thinly veiled jabs at our current world's bad actors making for a bad future. Please note the past tense in the title: Mars Needed Women. The story's women are going to work to bring down the system, at least that part that's oppressing them, in a massive unscheduled disassembly.”</p></blockquote><p>I'll leave it up for you to read for at least a week.

🅰🅻🅸🅲🅴 (🌈🦄)<p>I just got a reply that sent me down a rabbit hole of "am I a pickme girl?", and the ride was kinda wild.</p><p>My initial reaction to the comment was "that sounds like they're implying I'm a pickme".</p><p>Followed by "oh shit, do people think I'm a pickme?"</p><p>So I started looking for some meme image to use in a reply to deflect the implication (though I don't *think* they meant it to read like that). As I was scrolling past an endless wall of images, I noticed three main categories of result: "am I a pickme girl" quizzes and articles from "women's" sites/magazines, "pickme girl" memes featuring a specific girl and some text calling her a pickme, and "pickme girl starter packs" which (as far as I can tell by the phrasing and sources) seem to have been written mostly by guys.</p><p>And the more I scrolled—looking for proof that I either was or wasn't a dreaded "pickme girl", the more pissed off I got at the whole concept.</p><p>Then I searched for "pejorative slang terms for women" and "pejorative slang terms for men"...</p><p>Then I started yelling at my phone.</p><p>The sheer number of derogatory terms for women is astounding (yes, I know, thanks captain obvious), but what got me was that there were shitty slang terms for roughly *every* way a woman can present—"girly girl", "butch", "princess", "ice queen", "drama queen", "pickme", "bitch", "cunt", "karen", "soccer mom", "dyke", "camgirl", "attention whore", and so on.</p><p>Contrast that with the results for men; there are significantly fewer terms, and many of them are derogatory *because* they're comparing them to women or perceived "girl-like" behavior such as being penetrated—"bitch", "pussy", "femboy", "fag", "twat", "girly", "space karen" etc. The common ones that aren't comparisons to women seem to center around body parts or "degrading" sex acts ("dick", "asshole", "asshat", "cocksucker").</p><p>So now that this post has earned an R-rating for language, where am I going with this?</p><p>Well, you may have seen it coming, but "blah blah patriarchy bad, stereotypes bad, and word choice matters". Almost all of the pejorative slang we use comes from a male gaze, punishes anyone who isn't Chad Thundercock, and creates a catch-22 where any presentation of—or association with—femininity is deemed bad.</p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Feminism</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rant</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/FuckThePatriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckThePatriarchy</span></a></p>
Ashley Marie“They didn’t burn witches, they burned women” - A visit to the gravesites of the women (and few men) who were unjustly persecuted and executed during the Salem Witch Trials in Salem, Massachusetts, USA, circa 1692-1693. A mar on American history in the sea of cruel treatment of women that occurred worldwide from the 15th to 18th centuries where the world of patriarchy and misogyny was used to control women, torturing and murdering those who didn’t comply or questioned commonly accepted gender roles. A time that feels we are still recovering from, that we’re still seeking the release from the silent oppression of, that we’re dangerously close to recreating in modern day society. <br> <br> Let’s not forget where we’ve been so we can better guide next steps of where we want to go! 🫶🏼<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SalemMA?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SalemMA</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SalemWitchTrials?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SalemWitchTrials</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/History?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Women?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Women</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/WomensHistory?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WomensHistory</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/feminist?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feminist</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/feminism?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feminism</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/grave?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#grave</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cemetery?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cemetery</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gravesite?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gravesite</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/flowers?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flowers</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/amateurphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amateurphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/naturephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturephotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscapephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscapephotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historicphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historicphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hashtagegames?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtagegames</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pixelfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pixelfed</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fediverse?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a>
