KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

I wanted to take time today to address an issue related to how Black women continue to be targeted, with increasing intensity, online & how tech & its leaders facilitate it

Also, w/o context, ppl who speak out are being attacked

THREAD 1/

#causeascene
I can admit that I have, until recently, spent a great deal of time, within the safety of the cocoon I created for myself as a Black womAn from GA in the U.S.

I've always known, even as a child, that my well-being was directly tied to white supremacy and racism... 2/
what I wasn't aware of until recently, was how intimately connected my well-being and that of Black women was now being impacted by the decisions of tech leaders

It took this conversation with @digitalsista on the @causeascenePod, to open my eyes 3/

There’s one thing that I can say about Twitter, there’s ALWAYS an opportunity for me to learn and to be challenged

I continue to grapple with the fact that ppl are complex and how to develop strategy that clearly defines where to draw my line

Here’s an example 1/

#causeascene
.@shaunking retweeted @Amy_Siskind, a white woman who caused harm Black women this year & has yet to face any impactful [that I’m aware of] consequences for her actions & I’m reminded of the current #GDIStrike & the harm @girldevelopit has caused in much the same way 2/
Seeing this, I found myself wondering if this is a one off

Is “the work” more important than the messenger

Can we really detach the “movement” from the “mover”

And, I keep coming back to NO 3/

White women, in large numbers, also refuse to own their role in maintaining & promoting white supremacy

They’re all for fighting the patriarchy to the point where they don’t lose the comforts and benefits of relational privilege

So.

Time for something a little different, and an idea I’ve been toying with—a look at how #transphobes try to frame their narrative within a claim that they are only “concerned” about trans people existing.

I think it’s safe to say that every trans person in the...

1/n
community who isn’t a #transphobic arserag can now spot whenever the usual #hate groups and individuals deploy their dog-whistles to denigrate trans people, especially trans women, but it is all too easy to forget that for the average cis person with no experience of...

2/n
this the comments and phrases that #transphobes come out with can come across as bizarre, or non-sequiturs, or even occasionally even reasonable. That person, because they have no experience of this, doesn’t see those comments as the attacks they are, and so can’t...

"Women are too emotional and they let it rule them, not us though, we men are logical"

We are quick to call women emotional firstly because they acknowledge their emotions; and then they frequently and healthily express those emotions; that sounds quite logical to me, no?
On the other hand us men refuse to acknowledge that we have emotions. We've been sold this dirty lie that that word is inherently feminine. So instead we ignore our emotions, bottle them up but then get the occasional burst of emotion come out as elation, anger, violence & abuse.
Meanwhile the reality is that all humans have/feel emotions just as much as the next, we all do. Having a penis doesn't preclude you. But from very early in childhood, you're told not to cry because men don't cry (despite the fact that ALL children cry to express themselves!)

From 2015–before #metoo #churchtoo #silenceisnotspiritual. #THIS is most white-male-centered narcissistic drivel I have ever read in my entire life. @JohnPiper claims scripture is his authority then offers no exegesis of any text. “Principles” instead. 1/ desiringgod.org/interviews/sho…
Teaching “principles” rather than teaching excellent exegesis is a narcissistic tactic of control. ANYONE can claim the scripture says ANYTHING when they leave the scripture out. Brings followers into close relationship w/ leader, but leaves them not knowing Jesus (The Word). 2/
What .@JohnPiper did here was unbelievably manipulative. Demonstrated #ZERO submissiveness to scripture. Has nerve to guilt/shame women into “submission to scripture” then offers #NONE. Only offers his own “principles,” which scripture would drop-kick. 3/

These measures will lead to the Iranian Uprising.
