belonging feminism immigrantstories immigration patriarchy sylviaplath

Grappling with the complex inheritance of patriarchy, written in a series of poems when visiting my homeland in 2024. I wrote them to figure out who I am, how I can belong and simultaneously not belong to an old world and deep roots... and how (walking among the ancient ruins and then the advertising-strewn streets) I can choose my own inheritance.All Rights Reserved

When Women Rule the World by jgmillan

The novel depicts a matriarchal society where men are used just for work and are deemed as mere sources of seed to beget daughters. But technology will soon make it possible to conceive only females, and machines would do all the work that males do. Many women wonder if it's time to take the leap towards a New Humanity. However, someone comes from the future seeking answers, with even more intriguing questions. Where did this society come from? Why do they know nothing about their origins? What happened to the Old Humanity? Mysteries will unfold in succession, and just when things seem to be clearing up, new, even deeper questions will arise. Finally, to understand what has happened, another journey through time will be necessary, back to the very dawn of Humanity. The explanation will be completely unexpected and will surprise many.

Sun Kissed Poets by Baxattack69

A step inside, a digital page, a young girl, figuring out here way, scouting words, laying out the map where there is none, our path is sacred to us, there's no rights or wrongs, take a deep breath and try to understand what you don't want, sometimes it's easier to start there Over the year of 2022, I got into poetry, started navigating life through words, and here I am sharing it, I hope you enjoy!

Almost Murder by roussetzki

Can you explain every conscious move you made? Most, probably, but maybe not the most important, the ones that make you who you are, the decisions that define the person you've become. Visiting a tropical island where my narrator didn't want to go in the first place, he almost became responsible for the death of a man. A dear man. An intimate friend... almost.

Matriarchy: No Need For Men. by feminism2

Chapter 2: World War III (Running!!) Men are gone. Women rule. Imagine a world where men no longer matter-would you survive the matriarchy? What happens when feminism goes too far? This book explores the consequences of a future where the natural balance between men and women collapses. Feminism, having transcended all boundaries, reshapes humanity into a female-centered species. Men, stripped of purpose, exist as relics of the past, serving only as pets in a system that mirrors a hive, where women reign supreme. Biologically, mothers are the gatekeepers of life. Historically, survival forced men and women into partnership-men as protectors and providers, sometimes oppressors, while women adapted to survive under natural pressures. But when humanity masters nature, this necessity vanishes. With no war, famine, or struggle, cooperation dissolves. Robots and AI take over all labor, while science frees women from biological dependence on men, allowing reproduction through stem-cell technology. Men are no longer needed for survival, yet they are not entirely discarded, kept instead as sentimental pets. This is the final form of feminism: a system that abandons equality under the guise of progress, reducing men to a perpetual loop of servitude. Matriarchy: No Need for Men critiques a future where dominance replaces balance, and ideology supersedes the natural truths of human existence. It is a stark warning, not only for men but for all who value the delicate equilibrium that defines humanity.

Claws of the underworld by null

Gone Beyond: The Queen Of Dark by Komalica

Would you rather be compassionate or powerful? Be scared or be feared? Be called a witch or be vicious for real? When everyone wishes to see you in the cage of their conservative, misogynistic power hungry mindset, what are your options other than fighting tooth and nail for your very being? You could always choose to live in suffocation as men keep sucking the very oxygen out of your lungs but would you rather be named a danger or be one? There is a devil to pay for every triumph and there is revenge to collect for every trauma. The difference is how much are you willing to invest and how much are you willing to risk? Would you fight your fate for your faith to be the good one as they expect you to be or would you betray them all for the dark side?
