Satanic Feminism as Activism

in politics •  8 years ago 

The feminine has endured as a subversive force within the Satanic narrative for a millennia. The complexities of the female figure, her sexuality, intelligence and power have been co-opted by the church to control and fabricate a gendered discourse which demonizes autonomous womanhood. Despite this history, modern Satanism has been primarily associated with strength, masculinity and power. Reinforcing chauvinistic conceptions of the abilities of women, with a particular focus on male sexuality, modern Satanism has continued to emphasize traditional gender roles. 

This spring I was invited to speak at Catland Books in Brooklyn, NYC as part of festival entitled "Legacy of the Witch," organized by the feminist collective, Slutist. The talk focused on "Satanic Feminism as Activism," reconsidering Satanism and Witchcraft as a symbol of both female power and persecution in the contemporary era.  Slutist just released the video from this event and I present it here to you:

The Satanic Temple represents an evolution in Satanic philosophy which aims to dismantle archaic sexual paradigms and give voice to those who have suffered under the yoke of Satanism as a pejorative. In this talk, we consider the concept of Satanic Feminism in relation to contemporary non-theistic Satanism and discuss how this can be utilized as a catalyst for political change.

Shit, I have missed that post. It would have been fun to trash those muppets in comments. I have tons of aluminium foil at home :-)

There's 27 flags on this post and that is unmitigated bullshit. Just because you don't agree with the content of a post is no reason to flag it. Flagging is supposed to be used to combat spam or other posting abuses. It's not a moral outrage button. Jesus Christ this makes me mad.

A great piece
