this is where i’ll leave PDFs, links,& other resources on topics i talk about (deconstructing patriarchal institutions like marriage&monogamy, mental & physical health, thru a feminist lens) & think other women will find valuable too. if u have recommendations feel free to DM!

“freedom fallacy”- this collection of shorter pieces by various writers covers a range of topics, the basis being critique of “choice feminism”. http://xyonline.net/sites/xyonline.net/files/2019-08/Kiraly%2C%20Freedom%20Fallacy%20-%20The%20Limits%20of%20Liberal%20Feminism%20%282015%29.pdf

“moody bitches” focuses mostly on how both our internal& external factors come together to shape our experiences, & why so many women are finding themselves feeling disconnected from their bodies. plus suggestions on how to tweak it to feel more in control https://b-ok.africa/book/2514873/d9db60

my marriage thread which consists of several articles with information on marriage & the nuclear family, what it actually means for women as a whole, and how that differs from the stereotype and assumptions many ppl still have about marriage https://twitter.com/CeciATL/status/864122711089479684

“untrue” is a really easy read that covers the basics of how monogamy has been harmful primarily for women https://b-ok.lat/book/3611690/4b4b78

“this is your brain on birth control” another easy read that covers our hormones& how birth control has had widespread effects on women (&men!) beyond preventing pregnancy.highly recommend for women who have had mood & health changes related to hormonal BC https://b-ok.lat/book/5336387/832bfc

“the end of men” was an opinion piece& then a book.. extremely controversial reception (some valid critiques IMO & lots of “this bitch has an opinion” backlash you’d expect for a book titled “the end of men” lmao) here’s the shorter article https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2010/07/the-end-of-men/308135/

here’s the book version of “the end of men & the rise of women”. i read it a couple years ago and threaded some excerpts if you wanna check it out

“the ethical slut” focuses on poly&non-monogamous relationships in a more practical way vs talking about it from a more academic standpoint like one of my earlier suggestions. so if you’re curious or considering trying, this is a good “how to” guide https://b-ok.lat/book/3706169/41e8f7

name don’t hit as hard as “ethical slut” but “more than two” is another guide on poly- i haven’t read in its entirety, but i’ve heard it’s good as well for ppl who are trying to figure out how to integrate & navigate relationship styles other than monogamy https://b-ok.lat/book/2701015/24aff4

this has been recommended by a lot of women on here. just started it but it’s my understanding that it discusses hormonal birth control more from a cultural& social standpoint. if ur lookin 4 something more sciency look earlier in this thread (brain on BC)
