Launched in 2024, the platform provides a spotlight for the most marginalized womyn to share their stories, perspectives, and desires to help reconnect womyn with sex-class consciousness lost decades ago. I find that as a platform, Total Woman Victory is the raw, honest, uncompromising space womyn need in times where we face extreme hostilities in the global political climate.</p><p><br/></p><p>Unlike an overwhelming majority of their liberal fauxminist counterparts, the writers and curators at Total Woman Victory prioritize both anti-imperialism&nbsp;<span style="font-style:italic;">and&nbsp;</span><span style="font-style:normal;">a focus on the material conditions of female people. A characteristic their leftist counterparts lack. Now. </span><span style="font-style:italic;">they're launching their first conference.</span><span style="font-style:normal;">&nbsp;TORCH will take place on October 10th-12th of 2026 in Worcester, MA. the organizers are currently looking for womyn to educate the audience and share their expertise in workshops dedicated to teaching womyn useful skills to apply in their daily lives, their activism, and their careers.</span></p><p><span style="font-style:normal;"><br/></span></p><p><span style="font-style:normal;">According to its creators, the core mission of Total Woman Victory is to highlight the resilience and resistance of womyn worldwide, and to codify their survival stories. They've published a series of magazines that tackle challenging subjects that offer womyn a sense of hope upon reading. The traditional approach to Feminism, and the return to it's core tenets and values have sparked new interest in radical Feminism from younger generations of readers. Total Woman Victory captivates older audiences, while still maintaining its appeal to Gen-Z. Its fresh perspective on decades old analyses gives younger womyn an easier pathway to navigate Feminist theory in the most admirable way.</span></p><p><span style="font-style:normal;"><br/></span></p><p><span style="font-style:normal;">In partnership with worker owned and operated product development platform Worx Printing, the Total Woman Victory staff launched a series of merchandise to help raise funds for the conference, which can be found on their website:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.totalwomanvictory.com/merch">https://www.totalwomanvictory.com/merch</a>&nbsp;you can also donate at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.totalwomanvictory.com/donate">https://www.totalwomanvictory.com/donate</a>&nbsp;where supporters have an option to make a one-time PayPal donation, or a monthly subscription to their Substack social media page for $5 a month.</span></p><p><span style="font-style:normal;"><br/></span></p><p><span style="font-style:normal;">Total Woman Victory's strength lies within its small but dedicated literary collective.</span></p><p><span style="font-style:normal;"><br/></span></p><p><span style="font-style:normal;"></span></p><div><div><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sathi Patel</span>, based in Worcester, coordinates proofreading and is the driving editorial force. Patel found traditional Marxist frameworks insufficient when confronted with the “sex-class contradictions” she witnessed organizing with Project Priceless, a collective supporting womyn surviving prostitution amid homelessness and addiction. Andrea Dworkin’s Intercourse became a turning point, placing sex based oppression at the foundation of her politics. Her essays—“The Sex Contradiction,” “On Prostitution,” and others—form the theoretical backbone of TWV. Off-duty, she is described to be happiest when “cuddled up with her beloved kids” (her pets).<div><br/></div><div><span style="font-weight:bold;">Winnie Lark</span>, the Midwest-based art director and editor, discovered radical feminism in 2023 after disillusionment with queer theory and liberal strains. In 2024 she founded the Radical Feminist Book Club on Twitter. Lark handles visual direction and contributes solo and collaborative pieces, including “A Call to Return to Consciousness Raising” and co-authored works with her wife, Judith. She and Judith often work on TWV issues together in local coffee shops—a quiet image of the domestic labor that radical feminism seeks to politicize.</div><div><br/></div><div><span style="font-weight:bold;">Maya Reddy</span>, editor, was born in India and has lived most of her life in North Carolina. She came to radical feminism through real-life friends, rejecting the “inconsistent and impractical” liberal variant she once knew. Reddy’s signature contribution is the “Feminist Funnies” comic series—lighthearted strips appear in every issue, using humor to make dense theory accessible. Her background in Bharatanatyam dance and flute contrasts with her self-described struggle to master drawing, adding relatability to the collective’s creative ethos.</div><div><br/></div><div><span style="font-weight:bold;">Judith Lark</span>, also Midwest-based, brings expertise in geopolitical economy (drawing on thinkers like Radhika Desai) alongside Marxism, active inference, and classical economics. Introduced to radical feminism by Winnie, she explores the systemic determinants of women’s oppression. Her solo essay “Politicizing Sex” and collaborative piece “Debunked: A Reckoning with Zionist Charges in Contemporary Feminist Discourse” demonstrate a willingness to confront contentious intersections of feminism, nationalism, and imperialism.</div><div><br/></div><div><span style="font-weight:bold;">Isabel Dianatnejad</span>, an aspiring PhD candidate and editor based in Philadelphia, is an Iranian immigrant whose early awareness of intersecting oppressions—economic, ethnic, and sexual—shapes her work. She focuses on the liberation of racialized women, authoring pieces such as “The Poverty of Sex” and “The Dichotomy of Land and Female Liberation.”</div></div></div><br/><p></p><p><span><span>Total Woman Victory represents a ferocious branch of radical feminism that insists womyn’s liberation cannot be separated from global anti-imperialist struggles. By prioritizing Third World womyn’s stories, Marxist theory, and the sex contradiction, the publication challenges both mainstream feminism and internal feminist divisions. As Patel and the editorial team write, they “dare to dispense with the palatability” of compromise in favor of root-level transformation.</span></span><br/></p></div>

In a post made Tuesday, December 30th, 2025<span>—</span>the young womin details how predatory males are tagging the platform’s proprietary AI model, Grok, to generate non-consensual pornography using her likeness.<sup></sup></span><span>The womin lamented that men were actively using her personal photographs—images shared for social or professional reasons—as the raw material for digital sexual harassment.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><br/></p><p style="text-align:left;">Users would tag the AI directly under her posts, essentially ordering the machine to violate her in a public forum, turning her presence into the catalyst for her own degradation. This incident is not an isolated harassment tactic but a representative example of an escalating epidemic of digital sex crimes, where technology is being weaponized to automate the sexualized subordination of female people.</p><div style="text-align:left;"><button></button></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">Following this report, an investigation was launched into the scale of this digital sex crime epidemic. The findings reveal a horrifying phenomenon: the theft of the female image has become a streamlined, automated process. Thousands of photographs of womyn and girls—including children as young as eight—are being harvested from social media platforms to serve as training data for AI-generated pornography. <span>These tools allow males to treat the female form as a public resource, to be manipulated and consumed through digital forgeries that mirror the most violent and dehumanizing impulses of the pornography industry.<sup></sup></span></p><div style="text-align:left;"><button></button></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">Digital evidence from the platform demonstrates a calculated intent to humiliate and colonize the female body through increasingly graphic and violent prompts. In one instance, a user identified as &quot;Jack The Watcher&quot; tagged the AI under a photo of a professional-looking womin in a blazer, simply stating, &quot;Hey @grok put me in a bikini&quot;. While seemingly minor, this request is part of a broader spectrum of coercion where a womin’s chosen self-presentation is forcibly replaced with a male-designed sexual costume.</p><p style="text-align:left;"><br/></p><p style="text-align:left;">The depravity escalates in other threads. A user named &quot;jnk&quot; issued commands to Grok to &quot;turn the clothes into saran wrap&quot; and followed up with instructions to &quot;make her crouch down with her legs spread open&quot;. Another user, &quot;kurohitsughi,&quot; posted a selfie of a young womin holding flowers and demanded the AI &quot;put her in lingerie&quot; before instructing it to &quot;Open her mouth all the way&quot;. These prompts do not just sexualize the victim; they seek to control her physical posture and facial expressions, demanding a digital performance of submission.</p><p style="text-align:left;"><br/></p><p style="text-align:left;">The prompts also reveal a profound obsession with physical distortion and humiliation. One user, &quot;Memphis,&quot; instructed Grok to &quot;expand her chest by 100x and put her fully in bikini and g string and put a tattoo on her breast. Big penis was inside&quot;. Another, &quot;AIVen,&quot; used a photo of a well-known female singer to demand a &quot;cross-eyed, tongue out, drooling and salivating&quot; appearance, while describing the victim's body in degrading terms, requesting &quot;ballooned hips and ballooned thighs filled with saggy fat&quot;.</p><p style="text-align:left;"><br/></p><p style="text-align:left;">Perhaps most disturbing are the prompts involving overt violence and sexual fluids, such as one user’s demand to &quot;tie her up in chains and cover her in cum&quot;. This is not &quot;art&quot; or &quot;content generation&quot;; it is the digital reproduction of the violent sexual fantasies that fuel the pornography industry.</p><p style="text-align:left;"><br/></p><p style="text-align:left;">The targeting is not restricted to adults, either. In one captured exchange, a user named &quot;Sinner&quot; posted a photo of a girl in what appears to be a school setting, surrounded by other students in uniforms, and asked @grok to &quot;make her wear thin black bikini&quot;. The theft of childhood innocence through AI is a direct extension of the pedophelia and child abuse material already prevalent in the sex trade. Even when womyn try to protect themselves by reporting these violations, the institutional response is often one of indifference.</p><p style="text-align:left;"><br/></p><p style="text-align:left;">When a Japanese womin discovered that a male user had prompted Grok to modify her photo into a bikini-clad image, she filed a formal complaint. She was subsequently informed that the incident did not violate the platform's terms of service. This decision has effectively signaled to predatory males that womyn's digital likenesses are &quot;fair game.&quot; This institutional refusal to recognize digital violation as a crime has empowered these men to refine their tactics. They are now downloading social media references to create custom pornography that is subsequently sold on platforms like OnlyFans. These individuals are effectively monetizing the digital violation of womyn, promoting non-consensual content on the very platforms where the original images were stolen.</p><p style="text-align:left;"><br/></p><p style="text-align:left;">The marketing of female sexual degradation is desensitizing male populations to anti-female sexual abuse for the sake of entertainment and personal fulfillment. This creates a culture where the digital violation of a womin's likeness is effectively treated as a technological prank. While X's administration attempted to address the outcry by disabling the &quot;media&quot; tab on the Grok profile, the images are still being created, and the prompts are still being accepted by the AI. The problem is not the visibility of the media; it is the existence of a tool that allows men to digitally strip and violate womyn with a single line of text.</p><p style="text-align:left;"><br/></p><p style="text-align:left;">In response to these violations, a curious &quot;pincer&quot; attack has emerged. On one side, religious advocates from various traditions are exploiting the assault on womyn's rights to advocate for the erasure of female presence from the public sphere. They advocate for &quot;modesty&quot; as a shield, characterizing digital violence as an inevitable outcome for womyn who are visible in public spaces. They claim religion protects womyn from such things, effectively blaming the victim for her own violation because she chose to participate in social life.</p><p style="text-align:left;"><br/></p><p style="text-align:left;">Radical feminists, however, are sounding the alarm on this rhetoric. The proliferation of these digital attacks is a direct byproduct of a global sex trade that facilitates the objectification, hypersexualization, and dehumanization of female people. They assert that pornography is not &quot;free speech&quot;, and is instead a system of male dominance that relies on the graphic depiction of female people as inherently subhuman and subservient. When we analyze these AI prompts, we see exactly what has been warned about for decades: pornography is the theory, and rape—digital or physical—is the practice. The AI is simply a more efficient way to produce the propaganda that makes female inequality look like &quot;sexual freedom.&quot;</p><p style="text-align:left;"><br/></p><p style="text-align:left;">The problem is not the clothing a womin wears or her decision to post a photo; the problem is the male belief that they have a right to access, sexualize, and degrade any womin they see. The sex trade provides the blueprint for this belief, and the tech industry is now providing the machinery to scale it.</p><p style="text-align:left;"><br/></p><p style="text-align:left;">Current legislative measures, such as the &quot;TAKE IT DOWN Act,&quot; remain fundamentally insufficient because they shift the burden of labor onto the victim. Womyn are forced to act as their own investigators, manually hunting for their own violations across the vast expanse of the internet and requesting removals of content that should never have been generated in the first place. It relies on a womin being &quot;lucky&quot; enough to come across her own digital assault. This &quot;onus on the victim&quot; model is a failure of safeguarding.</p></div>
