In an interview with NBC News, Nurse Wooten said, “I had a detainee that asked me, she said, 'What is he doing Ms. Wooten, collecting all of our uteruses?' And I just looked at her puzzled because I didn’t have an answer."

For those saying this is “fake”: nbcnews.com/news/latino/nu…

Now that this is in more media outlets: which are reporting the forced hysterectomies and which aren’t?

And those reporting this whistleblower case as one just about #Covid_19 - which is bad enough - why aren’t you reporting the hysterectomies?

And this isn’t about “How come it was hysterectomies and not vasectomies?!”

I am not interested in an egalitarian genocide.

I am interested in exposing and fighting fascist patriarchal fuckery.

I do not want a “feminist” genocide that enforces vasectomies as well as hysterectomies.

I do not want genocide. Full stop.

Women are always at the intersection of a multiplicity of patriarchal fuckeries. And even more so for women of colour - immigrant, refugee, undocumented.

I do not want to make it as bad for men as it is for women.

I want women to be free of the multiplicity of patriarchal fuckeries.

That multiplicity is the octopus. I explain patriarchy using this analogy.

I explain more about the multiplicity of fuckeries here feministgiant.substack.com/p/feminist-par…
