Fuck civility: feminist scholar @drstellanyanzi is on trial for “offending” Uganda's president, Yoweri Museveni. She is a proponent of "radical rudeness", a traditional Ugandan strategy for unsettling the powerful through the tactical use of public insult. ifex.org/uganda/2018/12…
Nyanzi was detained for 5wks in 2017 for calling Museveni a “pair of buttocks” - her least profane criticism of him. She currently faces a 1yr prison sentence if convicted for poem she posted wishing Museveni’s mother’s birth canal had poisoned him upon birth to save #Uganda.
Nyanzi’s next Court appearance is Dec 10. Her lawyer has said he hoped to be able to question President Museveni as "the first witness" to the alleged offences. "We're going to prepare to cross-examine the president on all matters concerning the vagina". #FreeStellaNyanzi
.@drstellanyanzi is a hero. I say “fuck” to defy, disobey & disrupt patriarchy & all forms of power who use “civility” & “decorum” to maintain their authority & privilege. I wrote this, in which I pay homage to Dr. Stella Nyanzi and rude and profane women google.com/amp/s/www.nbcn…
Nyanzi was held in a maximum security prison for 5 weeks in 2017 for saying this about Museveni - who has ruled #Uganda for 31 yrs - after he reneged on an election promise to provide sanitary pads for schoolgirls. #FreeStellaNyanzi #FuckCivility 
As well as in my essay on profanity, it is also an absolute thrill to write about @drstellanyanzi and her feminist activism in my book The 7 Necessary Sins for Women and Girls.Her challenge to a decades-long dictator should be supported and taught globally google.com/amp/s/www.nbcn…
