I am currently reading Mary Daly’s “Gyn/ecology.” I’ll have something to say about it after I’ve finished more book. Between reading this, getting some job training to avoid being perennially financially insolvent, and making some quite permanent measures to banish the ex-nigel from the “They are not shelter dogs” post, and get him to stop calling me, facebooking me, messaging me, texting me, showing up at my house, calling my girlfriend, and otherwise irritating the everlasting fuck out of me I’ve been a bit preoccupied. At least I’ve not been preoccupied without some radfem company, if only in absentia in the form of books. I’ve blocked his text messages, blocked him on facebook, had my awesome and startlingly patient girlfriend block him on facebook and send his calls (how did this asshole get her phone number anyway?) to voicemail, had his phone calls go straight to voicemail, and if he shows up at my house again, then he may tangle with my dog until the police arrive. Because fuck him.
And people wonder why so many radical feminists are lesbians…

Hi! i read Gynecology, Pure Lust & Quintesscence all within the past couple
years, and they have Totally changed my life…. am looking forward to what you
have to say about your insights/incites/revelations
reading Mary Daly has brought about the most profound transformations
to date , as i am now an avowed nag-gnostic in addition to Be-ing
a thoroughly Positively Revolting Hag!!
my 1st introduction to radical feminism came from another brilliant womyn
Sonia Johnson…..her latest book “The SisterWitch Conspiracy” i thought
was Awesome!! an earlier book you might like is “The Ship That Sailed Into
The Living Room; …..about sex & intimacy
Thanksxx for your Radical Feminist consciousness and for writing

Please take care, and don’t hesitate to use deadly force if this turd tries to hurt you. Your gf might want to give the whole collection of vms to the police, too.

I also just finished Gyn/Ecology, what an eye-opener! I hardly could get through the Second Passage, it is so awful to realize that men have been positively staging a war against human life force itself, by re-enacting goddess-slaughter on women’s bodies all over the world for 5000 years!. But it has brought me back into contact with my Self, and I do see the world around me increasingly different than I used to. And it makes more sense now that it ever did, which is why I think that she hit the nail on the head in her analysis. Since reading it, I have engaged in discussions (esp. on facebook) with much more conviction of my own analysis, and unsurprisingly men and handmaiden react exactly as she predicts, erasures, reversals (!!). And its almost fun to un-double-double-think and reverse their reversals, if it wasn’t so sad. Because once you become a Hag/Fury/Amazon, a lot of people cease to be your “friends”, especially re-sisters.
