I have spoken in Lahore in 2016 and I was about to fly to Karachi last year to speak there when airspace was closed due to tension with India. ICYMI, both those cities are in Pakistan, you fucking ignoramus misogynist prick.
And I look forward to returning to #Pakistan.
I know the whataboutery crowd are full of shit and don’t give a flying fuck about any of the issues they claim to care about - in this ☝🏽case women, Muslims, Pakistan. But I respond because:
- misogynist shits like these may be told to fuck off.
- I enjoy telling them to fuck off

Brittany Smith goes on trial in Alabama on Tuesday, facing life in prison, for killing the man who raped her. How far can abuses women go to protect themselves?
newyorker.com/magazine/2020/… h/t @justdina_
In Nov. 2019, I asked “How many rapists must we kill before men to stop raping us?” on an episode of an #Australian TV show. That episode has been banned because imagined violence against men is consideee worse than actual violence against women.

“Fighting back against rapists and abusers is a valid legal defense. But women with persuasive self-defense claims continue to be charged with murder.”

That is especially worse for Black women in the US and other women of colour.

Their dismissal of me, as they demand to know why I’m not fighting FGM in Egypt & their use of a gif of a white suffragist being force fed as a stand-in for Egyptian women as a way to appeal to my fight, while ignoring suffragists’ racist exclusion of women of colour! Amazing!
A British transphobe sent me this, conveniently ignoring:
- the racist exclusion of women of colour by many in the suffragist movement
- there are trans and gender non-conforming people in Egypt as well as cis women who are oppressed by patriarchy.
I am a feminist whose goal is the destruction of patriarchy. That goal entails fighting misogyny as well as other oppressions utilized by patriarchy: Zero tolerance for sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, classism, ableism, all bigotry.

If you’re wondering why “A surprisingly mainstream movement of feminists known as TERFs oppose transgender rights as a symptom of “female erasure,” in Britain, read this:

How British Feminism Became Anti-Trans nytimes.com/2019/02/07/opi…
“But perhaps biggest factor in the rise of TERFism has been relative dearth of social movements in Britain over the past 3 decades.” Elsewhere “mass movements...around effects of globalization & police brutality have produced long overdue dialogue on race, gender & class.”
“In Britain, however, the space for this sort of dialogue has been much more limited. As a result, middle- and upper-class white feminists have not received the pummeling from black and indigenous feminists that their American counterparts have...”

From cruise missiles to laser-guided bombs, antiship missiles to smart weapons & modern radars and avionic systems, a new aircraft designed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) promises a lot. The plane, for which design work is complete, doubles as a fighter trainer.
The IAF has not made any demand for it. HAL CMD R Madhavan recently said HAL no longer waits for IAF’s requirements. "We're confident of doing R&D and offering a product. We're even looking at markets outside,” he said.
