What do I mean by Global Patriarchal Fuckery? e.g. unholy alliance that formed to oppose the UN Women’s Conference whixh took place in #Beijing exactly 25yrs ago. I was there as a 28yo and I wrote about it for my 1st column for FEMINIST GIANT Newsletter

The Vatican, leaders of conservative Christian and Muslim countries and Christian Evangelicals in the U.S. for years have been learning to put aside their hatred for each other and agree instead to focus on their hatred for women and queer people.

Horrified at increasingly progressive platforms being decided at UN, meetings, they determined to dig their misogynist & homophobic heels in and play every god and culture card they could so as to control the wombs, genitals & identities of anyone not a cishet, conservative man.

When I yell “Fuck the patriarchy!” it’s not just for shits and giggles, comrades! This pandemic is a disaster for women and girls around the world. That’s why I launched my newsletter. Sign up! feministgiant.substack.com/p/coming-soon?…

Every Friday, I will be writing a new column for FEMINIST GIANT Newsletter - analysing the week’s events through a feminist lens, taking the fight to global patriarchal fuckery, highlighting feminist resistance. The more people sign up, the longer I can keep the Newsletter free!
