The fifth and final installment in my series “Not just an ally: Radical feminism for men” on Julie Bindel's Substack has been posted. juliebindel.substack.com/p/justice-an...

Quoting myself, from back in 2014: “Transgenderism is a liberal, individualist, medicalized response to the problem of patriarchy’s rigid, repressive, and reactionary gender norms. Radical feminism is a radical, structural, politicized response.” deaddogma.substack.com/p/not-just-a...

In the 4th installment of my essay on men in feminism, “Not just an ally: Radical feminism for men,” I summarize my critique of the ideology of the transgender movement. deaddogma.substack.com/p/not-just-a...

Part 4 of “Not just an ally: Radical feminism for men” analyzes transgender ideology. Online at Julie Bindel’s Substack. juliebindel.substack.com/p/transgende...

“Independent operators in pornography's early days gave way to studios, gave way to cheap gonzo scenes, gave way to OnlyFans and AI. Whatever technology, pornography and the sexual-exploitation industries are fueled by men’s demand for sexual access to women.” deaddogma.substack.com/p/not-just-a...

Based on ecological footprint data, Rees suggests Earth might support up to 2 billion people living at Western European material standards. "What’s the optimal population?’ is an unanswerable question because of the known unknowns and unknown unknowns." deaddogma.substack.com/p/bill-rees

“In patriarchy, men are trained not only to control women but to fear being controlled by other men if we aren’t strong enough. Men routinely fear that we can’t live up to what’s expected of a “real man.” Pornography provides temporary relief.” deaddogma.substack.com/p/not-just-a...

When I began speaking and writing, men asked me, “Why are radical feminists are so obsessed with pornography?” My response has been, “Why are men so obsessed with pornography, and why does the culture indulge men?” juliebindel.substack.com/p/radical-fe...

from Bill Rees profile: “Ecological Footprint Accounting shows that we are in overshoot—consuming resources faster than they can be replenished and generating wastes faster than they can be absorbed.” 3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily...

The paradox of pornography: “First, pornography has become more widely available and accepted. Second, the pornography industry has produced images that are more overtly cruel and degrading to women, as well as more overtly racist, than ever.” juliebindel.substack.com/p/radical-fe...

Part 3 of my essay “Not just an ally: Radical feminism for men” is online at Julie Bindel’s Substack. It summarizes my three decades of writing on the feminist critique of pornography and tells the story of how I met Gail Dines. juliebindel.substack.com/p/radical-fe...

Bill Rees: “After two centuries of explosive growth, modern techno-industrial societies have enormous cultural and population momentum fueled by bio-physically unrealistic material expectations.” 3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily...

“I am wary of promoting ‘healthy masculinity’ to challenge ‘toxic masculinity,’ a project too often detached from any feminism, let alone radical feminism.... men will be tempted to embrace kinder-but-gentler forms of male supremacy.” juliebindel.substack.com/p/not-just-a...

“the short-term material gains that men get in patriarchy are not adequate compensation for what we men give up in the long haul—surrendering part of our humanity.” from Part 2 of my essay “Not just an ally: Radical feminism for men.” juliebindel.substack.com/p/not-just-a...

from Bill Rees profile: “Modern techno-industrial (MTI) society is unsustainable. Humanity’s total biological resource consumption and waste production exceed ecosystems’ regenerative and assimilation capacities.” 3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily...

“Radical feminists organize to end men’s sexual violence and harassment but also reject the buying and selling of objectified female bodies in pornography, prostitution, and other sexual-exploitation industries.” “Not just an ally: Radical feminism for men.” juliebindel.substack.com/p/not-just-a...

My profile of Bill Rees—"Ecological Footprint Analysis Grew from a Boy’s Contemplation of ‘Soil and Sun’”—is online at 3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily...

“radical feminism rejects social hierarchies across the board but understands patriarchy as the foundational system of domination and subordination.” from Part 2 of my essay “Not just an ally: Radical feminism for men.” deaddogma.substack.com/p/not-just-a...

Part 2 of my essay “Not just an ally: Radical feminism for men,” making the case for radical feminism and against masculinity-in-patriarchy, is online at Julie Bindel’s Substack. juliebindel.substack.com/p/not-just-a...

Prairie Prophecy: A powerful new film on Wes Jackson and the future of agriculture www.resilience.org/stories/2026...

“When grad students asked me for career advice, I said, ‘The secret to my success is that I’m mediocre, and I know it.’ I don’t lack self-confidence but rather was validating students’ experience with inflated faculty egos and reminding myself of my limits.” juliebindel.substack.com/p/not-just-a...

“During my time in feminist scholarship and activism, one of the commandments for men has been ‘accept the leadership of women,’ reminding us that we have no claim to authority and don’t automatically know best… but Which women? Which feminists?” juliebindel.substack.com/p/not-just-a...

The first part of my essay “Not just an ally: Radical feminism for men” is online. Watch Julie Bindel’s Substack for the remaining four parts in coming weeks. juliebindel.substack.com/p/not-just-a...

In a roundabout attack on James Talarico, The Christian Post challenges St. Andrew’s pastor Jim Rigby, in part by highlighting the controversy 20 years ago when I joined the church but rejected supernatural claims of the Bible and conventional ideas about God. www.christianpost.com/news/4-thing...

Wes Jackson on being a misfit. “I have never really fit anywhere. I don’t fit in genetics anymore. I didn’t fit in the nonprofit world. I certainly wouldn’t fit in any university. And I don’t think I would fit as a farmer.” 3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily...

Wes Jackson and friends: “One day his brother Elmer noted that Jackson was always quoting others in his writing and asked, “Don’t you have a mind of your own?” Jackson said he did not. “I don’t know what I think until I talk to my friends,” 3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily...

Wes Jackson’s rhetorical question that goes to the core of our ecological crises: “Why is this not enough?” Why are people not satisfied, he asked, with all the beauty, creativity, and complexity of the ecosystems around us? 3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily...

“Wes Jackson’s career demonstrates that sometimes the race goes not to the swift but to the unconventional, that the battle can be won not only by the strong but by the stubborn. Straight-A students don’t always lead the way.” 3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily...
