I’ve lost count of # of times I’ve been sexually assaulted throughout my life and I know that my reactions have spanned a spectrum, all of them valid.
That night it was: Are you fucking kidding me? And my body went into autodrive; it knew exactly what to do. #IBeatMyAssaulter

I wanted him to know that next time he thought he could assault a woman, she too could beat the fuck out of him.
And then guess what a club manager said to me?

These are clips from Australian TV show Q&A that are making the rounds again. Always good to see! I remind you that soon after airing live, it was banned and has never been unbanned even though the govt media body cleared it for replay.

Four years ago this week, I beat up a man who groped me in a club. It was fucking glorious. And I started #IBeatMyAssaulter.
Celebrate that anniversary with me! feministgiant.com/p/i-beat-my-as…

I chased him down, sat on him and punched and punched and punched. I wanted him to know that next time he thought he could assault a woman, she too could beat the fuck out of him.

B loved @rerutled & I then went to the bar to get some water and a club manager actually asked me "Why didn't you let your husband take care of it?"
I almost beat him up too. I don't want to be protected. I want patriarchy to stop protecting cis men's violence #IBeatMyAssaulter

I am seeing #MosqueMeToo making the rounds. I send love and solidarity to all sharing their stories of sexual assault. I know it’s not easy. 💜✊🏽❤️
Here’s more about #MosqueMeToo and #IBeatMyAssaulter
In this interview, I tell @laignee that I started #MosqueMeToo to talk about being sexually assaulted at Hajj when I was 15, and why I started #IBeatMyAssaulter after I beat up a man who sexually assaulted me at a club when I was 50

“I wrote this book with enough rage to fuel a rocket. I knew I had to write it while I was high but on the glory of beating up a man who had sexually assaulted me.”

I don’t want to be protected. Protection is conditional. I want patriarchy to stop protecting violent cis men. I don’t want to be protected. I want to be free, free of violence, and free of cis men’s violence. (April 2020) 🎥 @rerutled

I don’t want to be protected. I just want patriarchy to stop protecting and enabling men.
I don’t want to be protected. I want to be free.
How long must we wait until men stop beating and murdering us, even under lockdown?

I wrote this for 4yo me who once waved her slipper at a man who stopped his car on the street under my family’s balcony, pulled his penis out and beckoned for me to come down. I absolutely believed in my rage, convinced that it could frighten away a grown man.
I honour that angry 4yo girl. I honour her belief that she deserved to be free of molestation & of interruption. She was born with a pilot light of anger, tenacious & sure of its right to flare whenever treated unjustly. I believe all girls are born w/that pilot light of anger.
That little girl found me on a dance floor in Montreal three years ago and told me “Beat that fucker up!” and I celebrate her. Today, we are waving our slippers together.

Three years ago today, I was icing my knuckles because I’d beaten the fuck out of a man who had groped me in a club a couple of nights before. I wrote about it in my new essay feministgiant.com/p/i-beat-my-as… 📷 @rerutled #IBeatMyAssaulter
After I explained to a club manager what had happened, he ooked at my Beloved and asked me “Why didn’t you let your husband take care of it?” I almost beat him up too.

Patriarchy enables and protects men who sexually assault women, and it demands that only other men “protect” us.
As long as we obey and behave in ways it approves of, of course. Protection is conditional.Because if we disobey, ha! I don't want to be protected. I want to be free

I launched #IBeatMyAssaulter after I tracked down the man who groped me in a club, shoved him, sat on him and I punched, and I punched, and I punched his face. And I spent the weekend icing my knuckles and it was well worth it! 📷 @rerutled
Just days before, I had launched another viral hashtag: #MosqueMeToo. I explain 🎥 @rerutled

The chapter on Violence is one of the reasons this episode of an #Australian TV show was banned. In 2019. Banned.
“How long must we wait for men and boys to stop murdering us, to stop beating us and to stop raping us? How many rapists must we kill?"
“How long must we wait for men and boys to stop murdering us, to stop beating us and to stop raping us? How many rapists must we kill?"
How many rapists must we kill before men stop raping women?
And why is the first half of that question more disturbing than the second half? Why is hypothetical violence against men more disturbing than actual daily violence against women?

So! Sign up and this Friday read from the chapter that so upset Australians that one of their TV networks pulled an episode of a show. In fucking 2019, for fucks sake

Muslim women are caught between a rock & a hard place:
Rock: collective of racists and Islamophobes who are eager to demonize all Muslim men.
Hard place: Muslim community that is eager to defend all Muslim men.
Neither truly care about Muslim women.
Fuck the rock & hard place

I told @washingtonpost that not a single man has been arrested or put on trial as a result of #MosqueMeToo but that was never my goal when I launched it. My goal is achieved one woman at a time whenever a Muslim woman speaks out about her sexual assault washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
I was called a liar when I first spoke out about my sexual assault at hajj. Now, we are too many to be dismissed as liars.

In addition to the shame that is unjustifiably flung at victims of sexual assault — a shame that had silenced me — Muslim women face another burden that discourages them from speaking out. They are caught between a rock and a hard place. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
After I beat up a man who groped me in a club, a manager pointed at @rerutled & asked me “Why didn’t you let your husband take care of it?”
Me: “He’s not my husband. This is my body. I take care of it.”
I don’t want to be protected. I want to be free.

I don’t want to be protected. I want patriarchy to stop protecting men who are violent towards women.
Patriarchy protects men who are violent towards women.
Patriarchy allows only men to “protect” women from other men.
Patriarchy punishes women who protect themselves.

I am fucking raging, RAGING, raging. All praise and power to my perimenopause.
And so I’m delighted that I’ve had two tweets about women saying FUCK THE PATRIARCHY go viral in the space of a week.
That’s where I am. Fuck. The. Patriarchy.
Don’t even *try* to look at me.
