When my book Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution came out in 2015, white supremacist misogynists & their bootlickers were happy to point at shit “over there.” When I pointed to shit “over here” in my new book #7necessarysins, they lost their shit
White #Australian men & their bootlickers like Bettina love to point to MidEast & Muslim men. But when I point at them they’re hysterical. For example, when I asked on Q&A about ALL men “How many rapists must we kill before men stop raping women?"
The misogynist shits and their bootlickers keep asking “Why aren’t you fighting against misogyny in the Middle East?” because Whataboutery is easier than recognizing that patriarchy & misogyny are universal and that I fight them in the MidEast AND EVERYWHERE including #Australia
Whataboutery is a close cousin to civility. They both use distraction to shift focus from those in power and their abuses. Fuck civility and fuck these misogynist shits and fuck their bootlickers: fuck all the ways patriarchy wants to control women
If you’re wondering what happens when you point to ALL men & ask “How many rapists must we kill before men stop raping women?” and when you say “I refuse to be civil with anyone who doesn’t recognize my full humanity”: the ABC network censored the episode
And Bettina and the Bootlickers,who are usually hysterical about “free speech” (ie free to be racist & misogynist) approved of the ABC’s censorship & came for me. If you go low, I DON’T go high. I will fucking come for you. And that’s why Bettina & the Bootlickers are hysterical 
And notice as I keep saying: the hysterical misogynist shits and their bootlickers keep insisting on Whataboutery (“why aren’t you talking about the Middle East?”) because they hate that I’m pointing out their misogyny and their bootlickers.
Remember that the ABC privileged the fragile sensibility of white #Australian men - and Bettina and the Bootlickers cater to that fragility - at a time when Australian prime minister is a white supremacist Christian fundamentalist who wants to do this
That prime minister - Scott Morrison - also wants to ban boycotts and protests. In an ostensible democracy. I pointed that out during the censored episode of Q&A. As I said - it’s easy to point at “shit over there.” I make connections between “over there” & “over here.” I insist.
