~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!

"Playboy Mommy" ~Tori Amos

In my platforms I hit the floor
Fell face down, didn't help my brain out
Then the baby came before I found
The magic how to keep her happy
I never was the fantasy
Of what you wanted me to be

Don't judge me so harsh little girl
So you got a playboy mommy
But when you tell 'em my name
And you want to cross that
Bridge all on your own
Little girl they'll do you no harm
Because they know your playboy mommy
But when you tell 'em my name
From here to Birmingham, I got a few friends

I never was there
Was there when it counts
I get my way
You're so like me
You seemed ashamed
Ashamed that I was a good friend
Of American soldiers
I'll say it loud here by your grave
Those angels can't ever take my place

Somewhere where the orchids grow
I can't find those church bells
That played when you died
Played Gloria
Talkin' 'bout Hosanah

Don't judge me so harsh little girl
You got a playboy mommy
Come home
But when you tell them soldiers my name
And cross that bridge all on your own
Little girl they'll do you no harm
Because they know your playboy mommy

And I'll be home
To take you in my arms...


To all the Mommies who think they aren't good enough parents - because society told them so, because the government told them so, because their children told them so.  My Mommy is the best in the world.  And she did it all for me.
