Welcome to Litsy!

Not even 48 hours into 2021 and I‘m bailing SO HARD on this one.

This book started off seemingly rather charming, but that quickly grew tiresome, detracting from any authority this author may have (which, judging from this book, is none). Then the inaccuracies started. This book is historically and medically inaccurate. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Which is clearly what she did here, because this 🤬 makes ZERO 🤬 sense. And people wonder why self published books get a bad wrap. 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃

Is it acceptable? Really? I don‘t know many grandmothers that would even entertain this discussion. News flash, they didn‘t use birth control, they likely had a very few lovers (mainly grandpa), and the chances of them having an abortion were slim. This author is straight up clueless. The most definitely never talked about their periods and probably wouldn‘t to this day. WTF

Uuuuuuuuum... I‘m going with every civil rights leader, every women‘s suffrage leader, PLUS @TheBookHippie on the true nature of protests. I‘m also going with history on whether or not they actually work (hint: they do).

I have no words.

I‘m all for a woman‘s right to make the decision that‘s right for her. Don‘t get me wrong. This, though. After THREE unplanned pregnancies and THREE abortions, so wants readers to trust what she has to say about birth control?! Seriously?

I‘ve literally known ultra conservative Christian boys to burst into tears the first time they got a proper erection because of this vary thing (their mother also said she wanted them circumcised so sex wouldn‘t feel as good, to help them control their urges). 🤦🏼‍♀️ That oppressive madness isn‘t just oppressive to women you dimwit!!!

Yes, the secret to truly tracking your period is the moon. Even if your period is irregular, it won‘t matter if you also track the moon. Are you “utterly hip” to what she‘s laying down? 🤦🏼‍♀️ You can even determine when you‘re going to get pregnant BEFORE you even have sex. You just need the MOON. Ancient women knew all about this stuff. 🥃🥃🥃

Yes, because medical organisations and systems totally started in the medieval period. 🤦🏼‍♀️ If she thinks men didn‘t feel the need to control women before the medieval period, clearly she‘s never heard of the ROMAN EMPIRE!!! 🤬

This quote highlights so much of what annoys me about this book. The ridiculous, teenager like sentences. The rape is in the past, it‘s gone, just face it and forget it line was pretty much then end for me. This book is total rubbish.

Taking this for a spin to kick off my sex positive 2021. No one be alarmed by the title! It‘s actually quite humorous so far.

If you know me- you know I love the word cunt. Not to use as an insult though. I hate that one of the most demonized words in English is a synonym of vagina. Vaginas are too magical and beautiful to be so hateful. I had to read an excerpt from this book in college and have been meaning to read the rest for years. I finally did and loved it. ⤵️

Finished the last one, now I‘m going to give this book a go!

I hate bailing but my god.....so abelistic! So horrible! This author is clueless on medical issues. I need a good INTERSECTIONAL feminist book....this is not intersectional at all.

Why oh why do I get the feeling there is some serious abelism going on in here 🤦🏼‍♀️ why can‘t I find a good book that does not make light of people with serious medical issues...herbs ain‘t gonna do it for serious medical stuff y‘all. Smh. I need a database so I can rule out homophobia, transphobia, racism, and in this case abelism from books BEFORE I spend a sweet fortune on them.

Not sure how the rest of McDonald's is thinking of me reading this in here but I'm getting me time and can actually enjoy reading for one moment

Let‘s try this book! Hope it‘s a lot better then the last one!

Excited about the 20th anniversary edition :-)

Cunt: clearly not a book that's going to give a delicate, demure or subtle presentation. Inga Muscio sets out to redeem a damnable word which has been irreversibly (or so it seemed) tied to negativity and shame. This book covers a variety of topics from books and art, to consumerism and prostitution. Muscio's Declaration of Independence encourages us to defend womankind, to be outspoken in our sisterhood and work openly to end patriarchy.

"Most Whores are completely unaware of how important they are to society, and subsequently do not have the opportunity to learn how to be all-compassionate, all-loving, all-giving and all-receiving incarnations of the Goddess... Without honoring Whores, we cannot truly understand and transcend the dynamics of violence, destruction and ignorance fostered in our cuntfearing society."

What the hell am I reading?

That feeling when you've started 8 books and are at various points in all of them but haven't finished anything in a while...

#Riotgrams Day 3! This is definitely the most shocking #OneWordTitle book that I have. It was super influential for me in my early 20s feminist education. I haven't read it since that period in my life, so I've no doubt I would disagree with some of it now and have a more critical eye (especially the total erasure of trans women, which Muscio does address in the afterword). But there's no denying its effect on my identity as a feminist.
