Gorgon Posse of Medusa Rising

Gorgon Posse of Medusa Rising

Medusa Rising -- medusarising.org -- exists to take radical materialist feminism into the next arm of its spiral: to share these ideas and analysis all over the world in easily accessible and useful forms. We are eager to publish, promote, and discuss new feminist work on women’s needs, life-wisdom, ideas, culture, soulcraft, politics, art, economy, ecological work, and social movement. Enjoy The Gorgon Posse Playlist - Songs for Breaking Up with Male Supremacy Pay These Brilliant Women for World Making: Tip Them! https://www.medusarising.org/#/portal/support We see combinations of authoritarianism and woman-hating on the increase in conservative and progressive movements around the world. We create and support international and intergenerational feminist work responding to these developing threats in radical materialist feminist tradition (#radmatfem) developed by THE RADICAL NOTION Collective and Jane Clare Jones. Supporting women in resistance toward cultural recovery and increasing women’s thriving requires both political and cultural work. Medusa Rising feel that welcome, joy, and deep witness are essential to this world building. We have a Goddess Planet to heal and a future to dream into existence.

Sister Gorgon Victoria joins Esmée to explore the role of empathy hijacking plays in creating reactionary allies to 'victim' demographics, purity spirals, and radicalization. It's also a favored tactic of abusers and predators inside the BDSM culture.

Most vitally, empathy hijacking deployed within feminist movement or organizations can create breaches of trust and fractures that weaken solidarity and...

Our bodies are us, and our bodies are for us. Feminists, being women, are not one kind of woman, not one style, not one kind of body, not one kind of experience. We are each ourselves. Feels obvious, but in the movement, there can be a flattening, a narrowing, as in any other social formation. Our liberation, though, that has to come...

The art of crafting a soul is, at its core, an exercise in energy management. A conscious, loving intentional awareness and adjustment of our own energies, perspectives, and belief systems in order to create a more wholly embodied energetic self. It’s a focused shift of state, not just mood.
