Updates | Materialist Feminism Writ Large

Did a video version for fun (⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠)

Medusa Rising has set out several themes so far. We still welcome thought and imagination on:

• The global fascist far right (with a focus on the US :/ ), we seeks work from other countries in or falling under these regimes, AND that have thrown them off (Hungary, Colombia, ...)

• Support for girls and teens girls in this ultra-predatory time

• Matriarchy past, present, future

• Feminist tensions over geopolitics & the nature of strategic intersectionality

• Goddess culture, goddesses, past and present of feminist spirituality

• Books, movies, all the popular culture, all the attention culture

Time to shift gears!

Currently

Brute Politics

• Women & Fascism, resisters & collaborators, past & present

• RadFem, Matriarchal feminists, and RadMatFem organizing against fascists (hyperlocal, national, geo-regionally, globally)

• What if the Democrats win in 2026 in the US? What do you want to push for?

• Skill-shares, mutual aid networks, resource pooling

• Practices of Power-With

• Lesbian resistance past & present

• Pick some part of the Manifesto RadMatFem, imagine what it could look like in action. All speculations welcome!

• Best practices for alternative communities

Personal-ish

• What are you leaving behind now?

• What turns differences into connection?

• Tips for Newbies: how to search for feminist friendly activist groups

• Metapatterning, getting off men’s grids, counter-power

• What do you want feminists of other factions/ethnicities/countries to know or do?

• Women’s culture, women’s time, women’s space

Psycho-Culture ;)

• Myths and misrepresentations about feminism

• Socialization, epigenetics, and genetics and temperament

• Tech leveraged against women, misogynist algorithms

• Tech women are leveraging for feminist causes

• Relational Psychology, process relation, relational ontology

• Feminist joy, successes, wins, celebration

• Para-sociality and movements, weaving or rending, or both? How does movement work for feminists now?

• Matriarchal/gift economics, feminist alt currency, feminist thought about parallel economy and production

• Body as resource: pornography, prostitution, surrogacy, alternatives to serving men’s interests to survive

Don’t see your thing? Want to share something else, from another direction, in another mood, about another topic, wider aperture, sharper vector? Cool. Here’s an even bigger list of the deep fields we want to dance in!

Now let’s bring in other threads of a radical materialist/radical matriarchal feminism. A quick brainstorm:

our physical world, our sciences for understanding it, the social and genetic elements of human traits and behaviors, how to interact with our biology wisely, how to change money and work so that it supports life rather than wealth, socialization and epigenetics, porn and para-social male bonding, what makes better men better, the planet’s limits and how to live regeneratively in a globalized world, ... The kickables in the both/and of both material and cultural, both rational and spiritual, both relational and unique...
