~The Red Menace~

Radical Feminist, Anarcha-Socialist, Lezbian Queer Dyke Cunt Lover, Secular Humanist, Activist Social Change Agent, Mestiza-Classed, Community Builder, RED MENACE!!


I'm a Public Leader, Community Organizer, and Community Builder. And I'm also an Anarcha-Socialist who fights to eliminate capitalism and other political, social, and economic hierarchies to create a society without institutions where all people have equal access to knowledge and production, emphasizes trade unions and decentralized methods of direct democracy, and finds any institutional form to be abusive. And I'm a Radical Feminist who believes the cause of women's oppression to be within patriarchy and the cause of all oppression to be in the mimicked hierarchical structures such as capitalism and amerikkkanism and globalism and colonialism and imperialism and jesusgodism which means society needs to be recreated and not changed cuz change just rearranges the same shit in a different order. And I'm a Secular Humanist who believes we got ourselves into this mess and can only rely on ourselves to get the hell out. And I'm Mestiza-Classed: the educated working-class wonder! And a Lezbian Queer Dyke Cunt Lover. An active activist social change agent iconoclastic catalyst. A VOICE with capital letters that stand tall and out and above and are heard and seen...always an outspoken mouth on the pretty face of the strong head of an independent woman. I'm an individual within the collective. And a Revolution! I'm a ReVoLuTiOn! and revolutionizer. A riotous redhead. THE Red Menace!

"Aunt Jennifer's Tigers" ~Adrienne Rich

Aunt Jennifer's tigers prance across the screen,
Bright topaz denizens of a world of green.
They do not fear the men beneath the tree;
They pace in sleek chivalric certainty.

Aunt Jennifer's finger fluttering through her wool
Finds even the ivory needle hard to pull.
The massive weight of Uncle's wedding band
Sits heavily upon Aunt Jennifer's hand.

When Aunt is dead, her terrified hands will lie
Still ringed with ordeals she was mastered by.
The tigers in the panel that she made
Will go on prancing, proud and unafraid.
