Looking for female empowerment fantasy novels (prefer adult protag not teen). I'd like something that will help me cope with being single while I work on my literary career and understand my dual identities.
Looking for female empowerment fantasy novels (prefer adult protag not teen)...
n.k jesmin
>went from a wholesome, subservient housewife, to practicing meme-yoga with her entire body covered in shit
>female empowerment
you mean male leaching
She turned black.. holy shit
Cringe
Have you been to a bookstore lately? Literally every new fantasy novel is about stronk and totally FIERCE womyn. Current fantasy can be summed up as YAAAAASSS QUEEEN SLAY
>how women became men
Even the yoga was originally designed for men since our energy structures are more fucked. Can someone post one for men but show how we descended into being basically women?
What are your dual identities?
Sultana's Dream.
>It depicts a feminist utopia (called Ladyland) in which women run everything and men are secluded, in a mirror-image of the traditional practice of purdah. The women are aided by science fiction-esque "electrical" technology which enables laborless farming and flying cars; the women scientists have discovered how to trap solar power and control the weather. This results in "a sort of gender-based Planet of the Apes where the roles are reversed and the men are locked away in a technologically advanced future."[4]
Juliette by Sade
Thanks this sounds refreshing.
Sounds interesting. I'm not op, but more like this please.
As far as I can tell, it's not really a satire or social commentary, purely political revenge porn. Not that I look down on it since it seems very aware of what it is and has no literary aspirations. It was also written by a Muslim feminist woman, so that's likely to be interesting. I hope you enjoy it.
This is easily possible in 100-200 years since they'll soon be able to create semen from stem cells and have no biological need for men.
Sounds good!
Okay:
"New Amazonia", by Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett.
>In her novel, Corbett envisions a successful suffragette movement eventually giving rise to a breed of highly evolved "Amazonians" who turn Ireland into a utopian society. The book's female narrator wakes up in the year 2472, much like Julian West awakens in the year 2000 in Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward (1888). Corbett's heroine, however, is accompanied by a man of her own time, who has similarly awakened from a hashish dream to find himself in New Amazonia.
>The Victorian woman and man are given an account of intervening history by one of the Amazonians. In the early twentieth century, war between Britain and Ireland decimated the Irish population; the British repopulated the island with their own surplus women. (After the war, which also involved France on the side of Ireland, British women outnumbered men by three to one.) Women came to dominate all aspects of society on the island.
>The history lesson is followed by a tour of the new society, which embodies a version of state socialism. Men are allowed to live on the island, but cannot hold political office: "masculine government has always held openings for the free admission of corruption, injustice, immorality, and narrow-minded, self-glorifying bigotry." The Amazonians are vegetarians; they employ euthanasia, eliminating malformed children — and bastards. They maintain their superiority by practicing "nerve-rejuvenation," in which the life energy of dogs is transferred to humans. The result is that the Amazonians grow to be seven feet tall, and live for hundreds of years but look no older than forty. The narrator tries the procedure herself: "The sensation I experienced was little more than a pin-prick in intensity, but...I felt ten years younger and stronger, and was proportionately elated at my good fortune." (The procedure, though, is fatal to the dogs.)
>The narrator reacts very positively to what she sees and learns; but her male companion reacts precisely oppositely and adjusts badly — to the point where the Amazonians judge him to be insane. The narrator nonetheless tries to protect her male counterpart, and in the process is accidentally transported back to the grimmer realities of Victorian England.
Same thing goes for artificial uterus.
Yass! Sounds fucking based and empowering.
That's unlikely, as 100-200 years from now most of the European continent will be majorly Muslim and America will composed mostly of people or Mexican heritage, who tend to have more conservative and Catholic values.
And in 50 years artificial wombs will be manufactured and they'll be no biological need for women
Just like my tumblr fanfics!
We love them too much to let them go; notice how little utopian fiction revolves around an entirely male society. Female designed utopias tend to be designed around the concept of having either no men around or as a subservient class; women don't need men as much as men need women. That's why they can't actually love anything but themselves and extensions of themselves (their children).
>The Amazonians are vegetarians; they employ euthanasia, eliminating malformed children — and bastards. They maintain their superiority by practicing "nerve-rejuvenation," in which the life energy of dogs is transferred to humans.
This seemed somewhat predictable until this line.
You mean up until they abortions part? I'm actually a little confused on that part. It uses the word "euthanasia" instead of "abortions". It could be an attempt at being political correct, but it could also mean that they wait until the child is born and then kill it afterwards. I'm leaning towards the latter since I don't think that selective abortions was a thing in the late 19th century nor was it envisioned by this novel.
Yeah okay Mr myopic just skip over the dog-sucking
I knew that part was included in your sphere of skepticism, that's why I didn't mention it. I was wondering however whether you included the prior sentence into it or not. And then I got off track.
Men have a pro outgroup bias towards women, women are also biased in favour of women.
We're fucked desu.
Women were literally tricked into joining the workforce by capitalists who saw that they could double their workforce. Now women work to afford childcare since they're not home because they're working.
You were also tricked into wanting "open borders" by the same capitalists. "Aging population" and "finding them jobs" are literally referring to this.
Female empowerment is self-determination, not corporate slave with withering ovaries.
>i couldn't be tricked that easy, i'm smart
Yeah, okay.
Based, unironically
Cunservacucks have the capitalist dick so far down their throat they can't even see they're contributing to the degeneracy and increased immigration.
What about nazbol gang tho
I'm all for it
