Creating Women's Culture, breaking free male system
BY Raissa Araújo de Sousa
I’m going to write on my feminism blog, Where I used to write about the same principles
That you all love.
I had an old one. It was censored by Google’s policy.
And honestly I am talking about a culture where women should no longer participate in films by male directors in general, so that none of them participate in any film by men or by female directors who contribute to misogyny. This is not “extreme.” Extreme is a “culture” that makes female children be sold and victims of trafficking. I bet that Erub Moriarty, who played a character that I name “damsel-in-distress syndrome,” or worse, the Becca Butcher complex — which are female characters that exist everywhere — basically the portrayal of women in the media and in the male “culture” is as rape victims, and worse, in the series *The Boys* her character is still shipped with her assailant, with an abusive man, a rapist, and everyone sells that. These TV show scripts are like this: rape victims, and they make the script like porn-movie scripts.
Starlight is seen with Homelander.
People insinuate that the fear she feels
Because of him, the trauma, actually in their sick minds means for these horrible people: sexual tension.
The actresses don’t create culture; they only repeat the stereotypes in films and series. They imitate the characters that men have created for women, characters that do not correspond to reality. That can never be called “art.” In my experience studying theater plays, there were moments when I looked, with disgust, at the roles men invented for women to perform — it was the most sexist and stereotyped thing. And in Hollywood, the rule is women acting in movies or series where they are seen as sexual objects, like in the series The Boys, where Starlight has the “Becca Butcher syndrome,” yet another example of a rape victim. Women should abandon the childish dream of wanting to be a Hollywood actress, because being an actress there — or being the kind of actress men want — will only be harmful
Ladies, I created my own art.
I give solutions, which is: you create your character from your “self.”
I studied the Theatre of Cruelty, but this is not an ode to Antonin Artaud.
I created my system, my method, which is the actress basing her character not on social caricatures but on parts of herself, representing life as she wants life to be.
For example, if I were working with an actress, I would ask her to represent what kind of life she would like outside the patriarchy, and not to represent the same victim place as always. Another thing: I recommend that actresses write their own scripts.
Women who are actresses in the media take scripts written by men, directed by men, and play the roles they are told to, and then they contribute to a culture that wants us dead. Actresses should stop wanting to play the roles men want them to play, should never again want to work with men, should never again want contact with them, should never speak to them, should write their own scripts.
Women directors should stop giving job opportunities to men, stop hiring them in their productions, stop wanting contact.
I am a writer, and I know that women repeat misogynistic insults and write the same patriarchal words, the same language, because they imitate the language, they imitate the culture and repeat it.
You activists, celibate women, write your books, make culture, and do this on the internet. I know that in South Korea there is censorship, but I am speaking in general: women should write.
Create your own culture and write what you want to happen, imagine life outside patriarchy instead of imagining asking men for rights. They are chimpanzees who think they are gods; they will not have empathy because they simply do not want to.
Imagine what kind of system you want.
I, for example, recommend that activists exchange goods instead of simply feeding capitalism, which is a system invented by men, just like socialism, etc.
Make books and spread them among yourselves in South Korean feminist groups on the internet; protect yourselves because I know there is censorship.
Talk about how important it is that you create a system together where you can send goods you don’t want, for example like in the feudal system but without the vassalage part, because women never had an economic system among themselves.
And if you create one and stop participating in the system of the chimpanzees known as men, that is already a big step.
