captainvanille kicked started this over on her journal and tagged me to do the second part. The purpose and rules are as follows:
The purpose: To define our own world and what we mean by what we say.
The rules: Four entries per part; no pro-pornography/prostitution/BDSM/etc. entries; you must tag someone when you post your part or the tag is chosen by the previous radfem; when you've been tagged, you must post an entry within a week or the tag goes to someone else; you must post the purpose and the rules along with your part; you may post acronym meanings and phrases; you may tag someone who is not on LJ; you may request words, but that doesn't mean you're gonna get 'em; you may repeat entries with your added definition; YOU MAY MAKE UP WORDS + MEANINGS AND BE ENTITLED TO HAVING NO ONE LAUGH AT YOU.
I also request that you comment in this LJ each time you tag someone with who was tagged so I can watch the fun.
Entry #1
Real: Mary Daly has the best conceptualisation of reality that I have yet come across. She conceptualises a division between the foreground of the fathers and the Background of women.
Wickedary definitions:
foreground elementary, plastic, contrived, possessed.
Related expositions:
elementary characterized by artificiality, lack of depth, aura, and interconnectedness with living be-ing; marked by a derivative and parasitic relationship to Elemental Reality
elementaries simulations of and planned replacements for the Elemental, the Wild; fabrications which distort experience and which are largely invisible by reason of being all-pervasive; incarnations of phallic myth that constitute the foreground; man-made phenomena lacking depth, radiance, resonance, harmonious interconnectedness with living be-ing.
Background the realm of Wild Reality; the Homeland of women’s Selves and of all Others; the Time/Space where auras of plants, planets, stars, animals and all Other animate beings connect.
Related expositions:
Be-ing 1: Ultimate/Intimate Reality, the constantly Unfolding Verb of Verbs which is intransitive, having no object its dynamism 2: the Final Cause, the Good who is Self-communicating, who is the Verb from whom, in whom, and with whom all true movements move
Memory, Elemental faculty that Re-members knowledge, emotions, and experiences beyond the fabricated elementary “recollections” of the foreground; Deep Memory, grounded in primal experience of the Elements; Memory of Archaic Time, where/when the commonplace brims with meaning, the trees and animals speak, and Crones know our connections with the moon and the stars.
The inhabitants of the foreground include:
bores, bullies, butchers, cardinals, cocks, cockalorums, consumers, coxcombs, dicks, dickspeakers, dummies, fakers, fixers, flashers, flunkies, fools, fops, frauds, fundamentalists, gaffers, gaggers, hacks, hackers, heros, hucksters, jerks, jocks, lackeys, leeches, lobs, Nothing-lovers, plugs, pricks, prickers, priests, prigs, rakes, rippers, she-males, sirs, sneaks, snools, snuffers, the/rapists, the-ologians, trickers, Uncle Sham, windbags.
The inhabitants of the Background include:
Amazons, Augurs, Banshees, Bitches, Crones, Dykes, Dragons, Dryads, Ethnics, Fairies, Familiars, Fates, Furies, Gnomes, Gorgons, Gorillas, Gossips, Grimalkins, Guides, Gyn/Ecologists, Hags, Harpies, Heathens, Journeyers, Lesbians, Lusters, Maenads, Mermaids, Muses, Nags, Nightmares, Norn, Nymphs, Ogres, Old Maids, Pixies, Positively Revolting Hags, Prudes, Salamanders, Searchers, Seers, Shrews, Sibyls, Sires, Soothsayers, Spell-Weavers, Spinsters, Sprites, Sylphs, Tigers, Toads, Undine, Viragos, Virgins, Vixens,Voyagers, Websters, Wicked/Wiccen Women, Witches
Entry #2
Intergrationism separatism; lesbian separatism; spinsterhood; radical feminism; sisterhood. A feminist commitment to personal and political integrity. A radical separation from the Phallic State. A feminist commitment to self and sisterhood.
Intergrationist a woman who refuses to participate in the Phallic, divisive, dis-membering politics of male supremacy. A woman who transcends the Phallic State, creating a biophillic, biodiverse, lesbian, gyn/affectionate, cyclical, spiralling journey into the Wild Background.
Entry #3
Lesbian a woman loving woman, a woman touching woman. A woman who transcends the toxic Phallic, male supremacist foreground, journeying into the Background, re-membering her matrifocal origins, re-membering herSelf and her women-centredness. A woman with a radical commitment to sisterhood. A gyn/affectionate woman. A women with an unwavering desire to live in the Background.
Lesbianism women’s original, Elemental state of Be-ing. A transformative personal and political allegiance to womankind. A radical sisterly connection between women in the collective process of re-membering ourSelves and our stories.
Wickedary Definition:
Lesbian: a Woman-Loving woman; a woman who has broken the Terrible Taboo against Woman-Touching women on all levels, Woman-identified woman: one who has rejected false loyalties to men in every sphere. NB: Websters point out that the terms gay or female homosexual more accurately describe women who, although they may relate genitally to women, give their alliance to men and male myths, ideologies, styles, practices, institutions and professions. Lesbian is capitalized to indicate woman identification. The word lesbian, when it is used to refer to degraded caricatures of Lesbian reality, actually means pseudo-Lesbian or sadolesbian. Such perverted portrayals are commonly disseminated in the popular media, and in pseudo-Lesbian books, magazines, graphics, films, and videos.
Entry #4
Broster 1: A male-bodied sister. A male-bodied person capable of journeying into the Background. A male-bodied person who re-members himself and his matrifocal origins. A male-bodied person with a radical gyn/affectionate commitment to womankind. A male-bodied person who refuses to be a man. A traitor to the Phallic State. 2: A unicorn.
There you go sisters. Not entirely original but I cannot help but advertise my love of Mary Daly. Besides she says it better than me anyway. Oh, and please go ahead and laugh at my fourth entry. I did. :)
