These are five books and three videos that I hope readers of my blog will find interesting to read and view.
Germaine Greer’s ‘The Female Eunuch’ for a good overview and perspective on what it actually means to be a woman under the oppressive system of partriarchy;
Janice Raymond’s ‘The Transsexual Empire’ for an understanding of what that most misunderstood and quote-mined phrase “I contend that the problem with transsexualism would best be served by morally mandating it out of existence” actually does mean.
Andrea Dworkin’s ‘Pornography’ for an understanding of the dehumanising effect that pornography has on women.
bell hooks’s ‘Feminist Theory’ for an understanding of what intersectionality actually means.
Cordelia Fine’s ‘Delusions of Gender’ for a thorough debunking of the idea of gender being innate.
I’d also recommend the following videos which I believe are essential:
Rachel Ivey on the difference between liberal and radical politics and gender
Gail Dines on pornography
Cathy Brennan, in her own words. Note she is interviewed by a transman and a transwoman in this broadcast.
