Satanic Feminism as Activism
The feminine has endured as a subversive force within the Satanic narrative for a millennia. The complexities of the female figure, her sexuality, intelligence and power have been co-opted by the church to control and fabricate a gendered discourse which demonizes autonomous womanhood. Despite this history, modern Satanism has been primarily associated with strength, masculinity and power. Reinforcing chauvinistic conceptions of the abilities of women, with a particular focus on male sexuality, modern Satanism has continued to emphasize traditional gender roles.
This spring I was invited to speak at Catland Books in Brooklyn, NYC as part of festival entitled "Legacy of the Witch," organized by the feminist collective, Slutist. The talk focused on "Satanic Feminism as Activism," reconsidering Satanism and Witchcraft as a symbol of both female power and persecution in the contemporary era. Slutist just released the video from this event and I present it here to you:
The Satanic Temple represents an evolution in Satanic philosophy which aims to dismantle archaic sexual paradigms and give voice to those who have suffered under the yoke of Satanism as a pejorative. In this talk, we consider the concept of Satanic Feminism in relation to contemporary non-theistic Satanism and discuss how this can be utilized as a catalyst for political change.

The abortion protesters are exploiting the fetuses by holding up signs with their pictures? But they are dead now because of disgusting murderers like you so how can they be exploited? I can't believe anyone upvoted your "satanic" trash. You are a monster. Flagged.
Abortion is not murder. A fetus is not a child. Just because you don't like my opinion doesn't give you the right to censor my speech. Remember, abortion is legal in America.
Women have the natural right to govern their own body. If that means they deem they aren't fit to be a parent and decide to get an abortion (which is nothing to take lightly), then so be it. It's not about "murdering" unborn fetuses; it's about giving women the right to make the call whether or not they want to carry and child, give birth to it, and raise it.
I don't think abortion should be taken lightly but it does have its place in society. What if you're raped? Do you really want to go through the trauma of childbirth carrying your rapist's offspring? What if you have 3 kids and you live under the poverty line already? Is it worth it to have a 4th child that you cannot financially support, which would also detract from the resources available to the pre-existing 3?
Sure, abortion can be tragic, but it can also be necessary given specific scenarios, and I don't think it's fair to berate women who need to go through this process by classifying them as "disgusting murderers", or "monsters".
Old white men in political positions should not be making the call on what a woman can or cannot do with her own body.
If there was a rape then abort the father. If there is poverty then contact the church. The baby is a separate body with it's own beating heart. Abortionists don't give it a chance. They snip the spines or break the necks of the children who come out crying because if it's alive then you can't sell the body parts. It is a satanic sacrifice of children to the devil. Then many of them claim "the devil doesn't exist." Also, @robrigo, if you support this murder of children then why should I listen to your thoughts on the morality of my downvote? Your opinion means less than nothing to me.
Should donating blood be mandatory instead of voluntary? Should anyone healthy be obligated to donate a kidney or bone marrow to save the life of another?
This is what you are fighting to protect?
Nope, that's an aborted fetus. She's fighting to protect women's reproductive rights.
I heard there are health benefits to consume. But also recommend donating to stem cell research.

Shit, I have missed that post. It would have been fun to trash those muppets in comments. I have tons of aluminium foil at home :-)
There's 27 flags on this post and that is unmitigated bullshit. Just because you don't agree with the content of a post is no reason to flag it. Flagging is supposed to be used to combat spam or other posting abuses. It's not a moral outrage button. Jesus Christ this makes me mad.
A great piece
How come all satanists have to dye their hair black, black fingernails, bolts and spikes for jewelery and change their name? You like to associate yourself with a group of people that rapes and kills children and sacrifices humans to the devil?
Satanists are people like everyone else, and can choose to dress however they like. I don't know anyone who associates with, or condones child sacrifice - that is completely absurd. You'll have to check with the Catholic church if you want information about a group that rapes children...
Can you provide substantiated proof that Satanists actually do those things (not "Satanic Panic" media manipulation)? I think that whole thing is just another form of "reefer madness" hysteria, demonizing a minority sub-culture.
Why do you care what people look like and choose to wear anyways? Isn't that their own freedom and choice?
You think it's funny to destroy the protest of the pro-life activists? Well I a going to protest your protest of their protest. If only you were aborted. The world would be a better place. Following.
"Destroy" their protest? I think you mean "counter-protest." Anyways, that's a really shitty thing to say to someone who you've never met. Jex is a really awesome person, you'd know that if you actually met her instead of judging her character based on her work and religious affiliation.
Wait so now you can't judge people by the things they do? You have lost your mind! Would you hire a convicted criminal to watch over your kids? Don't judge them by their works or gang affiliation! Thanks for the downvote.
