The Meaning of Non-Feminist Alterity

I will speak today of the activation of the non-feminist sector.

Non-feminism is a much bigger slice of the universe than feminism. It includes not only people unclassifiable as feminist, but every logical principle or force of nature which pulls in a direction contrary to where feminism is heading.

The average feminist, gazing through the lens of feminist triumphalism, regards the world beyond feminsim as a rightful field of missionary conversion, an extent of passive territory waiting to be brought under feminist regulation, or even just a void -- a "nothing", incapable of pushing back, and waiting to be filled with "something".

But the activation of the non-feminist sector is precisely this: the awakening of that sector into a state of political existence. Political existence is first of all existence pure and simple, and to exist is to be something -- it is to be not nothing.

The non-feminist sector, accordingly, is something -- even if up until now it has been counted as "nothing" in the earthly game of political calculation. But in the greater scheme of reality, non-feminism is as much a something as feminism is. Look around. Nearly everything you see -- rocks, trees, fence posts, moon, stars, galaxies and so on -- is not feminism. Likewise in the realm of thoughts and ideas -- almost all of it contradicts feminism, or undermines feminism, or simply ignores feminism and goes its own way.

The non-feminist sector speaks an eloquent truth which cannot be suppressed. The sector IS because it IS because it IS.... and it IS WHAT IT IS. Furthermore, the primordial factuality of the sector cannot be annihilated through any system of feminist contrivance. It will always be there! It will never NOT be there! The universe will simply not allow this.

To awaken the non-feminist sector into a state of political existence, means to make it an entity not only capable of struggling for power, but aware of itself as doing so. For such, finally, is the essence of all politics -- the struggle for power by self-aware entities.

For too long, the feminist gaze has contemplated the world beyond feminism as if staring into an abyss. Yet lo and behold, the abyss has grown a thousand eyes and stares deep now into the icy, black heart of feminism itself.

The tables have turned. The non-feminist sector has become activated. It has become *something*.
