A Marketplace of Girl Influencers Managed by Moms and Stalked by Men (Published 2024)
Seeking social media stardom for their underage daughters, mothers post images of them on Instagram. The accounts draw men sexually attracted to children, and they sometimes pay to see more.

The girls need to drop their resentment against men!These female characters, by virtue of sheer skill and discipline, are able to perform on par with male characters whose talent is attributed to divine intervention or external influence.Perspective issue! https://t.co/EmEgtU0kjx— Megan | @megievalist (@megievalist) November 1, 2026

Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity
One of the most talked-about scholarly works of the past fifty years, Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble is as celebrated as it is controversial.Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to look to a natural, 'essential' notion of the female, or indeed of sex or gender, Butler starts by questioning the category 'woman' and continues in this vein with examinations of 'the masculine' and 'the feminine'. Best known however, but also most often misinterpreted, is Butler's concept of gender as a reiterated social performance rather than the expression of a prior reality.Thrilling and provocative, few other academic works have roused passions to the same extent.

Feminist Technology
Feminist technology is not related to one specific community of practice, but it has been a field of research and has led to and is still leading to practices that are very valuable in the context of sustainable tech.
During the mass influx of users to Bluesky during the '24 election, I saw the need to carve out a space for real [femme] adult creators. The biggest related hashtags at the time like #NSFW were mostly art, furries, gay Twitter, and stolen porn. OF girls couldn't get seen.
