Anything related to Theosophy, as it's the closest you will find of a mostly female (feminist) led occult order that left behind a subversive influence on the world.
>In Theosophy, Maitreya or Lord Maitreya is an advanced spiritual entity and high-ranking member of a reputed hidden spiritual hierarchy, the Masters of the Ancient Wisdom. According to Theosophical doctrine, one of the hierarchy's functions is to oversee the evolution of humankind; in concert with this function Maitreya is said to hold the "Office of the World Teacher". Theosophical texts posit that the purpose of this Office is to facilitate the transfer of knowledge about the true constitution and workings of Existence to humankind. Humanity is thereby assisted on its presumed cyclical, but ever progressive, evolutionary path. Reputedly, one way the knowledge transfer is accomplished is by Maitreya occasionally manifesting or incarnating in the physical realm; the manifested entity then assumes the role of World Teacher of Humankind. In early 20th century, prominent Theosophists believed a reappearance of Maitreya was imminent. A suitable candidate for the entity's physical "vehicle" was identified as the then–adolescent Jiddu Krishnamurti, and the World Teacher Project was built around him for this purpose. The Project received worldwide publicity and interest, but also caused serious dissension and splits in the Theosophical Society. It was eventually dismantled in 1929 by Krishnamurti, who disavowed any further relationship with it and Theosophy in general.
Prescience in Dune is actually more masculinely complete, and the Bene Gesserit are in-fact masculinely lacking, or incomplete.
— "We look down so many avenues of the past . . . but only feminine avenues." Her voice took on a note of sadness. "Yet, there's a place where no Truthsayer can see. We are repelled by it, terrorized. It is said a man will come one day and find in the gift of the drug his inward eye. He will look where we cannot — into both feminine and masculine pasts."
Anyone who tells you that the Bene Gesserit are a good example of a strong and empowering fictional group of feminist women are wrong.
But, of course the movie wouldn’t dare to touch on any of this, for obvious reasons.
Now shoo. Frank Herbert was a misogynistic, homophobic pro-eugenicist femdom fetishist who disowned his gay son for being an “evolutionary dead end”, lmao. He didn’t disown the correct child.
The Bene Gesserit are EXACTLY what a secret society that ruled from the shadows would be like if it was made up entirely of women. I've gotta hand it to Herbert, he seems to know women incredibly well.
>Will has become aware of a secret international organization called the World Organization for Male Annihilation and a New Natality, or WOMANN, that intends to stage a secret takeover of world power. WOMANN's secret manifesto details a plan to take over the world by strictly controlling the reproductive process through the use of abortion, sperm banks, and artificial insemination; by expurgating, banning, or "contextualizing" the products of certain male geniuses; and also by declaring war on the patriarchal tyranny of religion through a campaign of "divide and rule." Will, who is a freethinker and notorious womanizer, is marked as an enemy by WOMANN. The novel follows Will's sexual escapades around the world with a number of women whose interest in the novel he is writing (the novel we are reading) leads him to suspect he is being surveilled by WOMANN. >Philip Roth: “Anybody out for a good time should read Philippe Sollers. He’s the sort of intellectual clown we don’t breed in America—urbane, bestial, candid, effervescent, an irrepressible ejaculator of farcical wisdom, a master of good-natured malice, a kind of happy, lively, benign Céline.”
>feminist organizations
If you read between the lines and use your brain you will quickly learn that the bene gesserit are not feminists because they are not even women. They are trooned out males disguised as women because obviously no organisation of women could accomplish anything small scale, not even speaking of pulling the strings of galactic politics. The bene gesserit training process is literally a "transformation" in which they use estrogenic alien hormones like the "water of life" (never heard of a more homosexual drug name) and includes literally "body changing" abilities like the face dancers do too.
It's strange that an organisation like the Bene doesn't already exist. You'd think with the massive amounts of soft power intelligent, ambitious, good looking women have historically had access to, it already would. Maybe the world is more inherently sexist than we realise.
The bene gesserit aren’t feminist, 90% of their energy goes into creating a man
That THEY will control, you fool.
So what? They still want to create him because he would be superior.

Sounds familiar?
huh, wonder if they could sue
He's not superior, he's bred to be a tool
The bible
Real life except replace bene gesserits with israelites

Femdom sissies are lesser men than homosexuals.
Oh you spammed this nonsense comment on both /tg/ and IQfy. Now I see.
It's still an idiotic thing to say here, too.
>homophobic
That word doesn't mean what you think it means, homosexual.
The Witcher
>books centered in a prostitutehouse
Any book on the last 15 years of South Korean politics
Are Koreans really so feminine that they let women walk all over them?
>feminist organizations
you mean matriarchal, dumbass. the gessert are matriarchal. learn what words mean before coming to a literature board
>nooo, they aren't evil feminazis! they are respectable matriarchs!!
there's no difference, homosexual
You’re genuinely sub-100 IQ if you don’t understand the connotative difference between “feminist” and “matriarchal.”
There isn't any. Feminists want to sissify men and matriarchy is to deprive men of their function as leaders.
ESL moment, probably.
Hes not wrong though

I mean being divorced and marrying 3 times will do that to you.
Monster Girl Encyclopedia
Consider Her Ways (short story by John Wyndham)
Probably The Wanting Seed by Anthony Burgess would do it for most anons defintions of feminist
Blavatsky would fit right in with the order.

>control everything
Dune is all about a project of theirs that gets wildly out of control.
