Femceldom

Interestingly, the denial of femceldom as a genuine state has parallels with the ways in which gendered assumptions about autism have led to a massive under-diagnosis of women and girls with autism.

Femcels engage in discussions of race with each other and bond of their shared experiences of race and how this might related to their femceldom.

Traditional’ and ‘aesthetic’ femceldoms seem to emblematise two distinctive social tendencies – on one hand, the abjection and humiliation of ‘failing’ within a heteropatriarchal sexual ‘marketplace’ (where women are widely assumed to have all the advantages), and on the other, the ironic performance of femceldom, which is aligned with a ‘sad girl’ aesthetic, disappointment in heterosexuality and a particular kind of feminised dissociation.
