I am proud of this. I am 52. It’s telling that you are more shocked at my saying “Fuck” than what I am saying it about. I am left to conclude that you support white supremacy, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, Islamophobia, antisemitism. Another Australian Bootlicker.
Also @RitaPanahi -
Seeing as you are proud to defend white supremacy etc in your role as Bootlicker of the Patriarchy (aka in your case Murdoch) - my message is clear google.com/amp/s/www.vice…
Also file under Australian Branch of Bootlickers of the Patriarchy - this one @mirandadevine is a defender of a convicted child rapist who finds my saying “fuck” more vulgar than her predator friend’s crimes.

Mona Eltahawy Would Like You to Fuck Right Off With Your Civility Politics.

"I refuse to allow those who don't recognize my full humanity to expect politeness of me.” google.com/amp/s/www.vice…
I want feminism to be profane and confrontational—to defy, disobey, and disrupt. I don’t want a polite feminism that challenges too few people. I want patriarchy to fear feminism.
Make patriarchy fear feminism.

Everywhere.

Before I recorded my two-middle fingers salute video in front of the White House on Saturday, a young woman also marching recognized me and told me that her gender studies professor showed they my clip from the now-banned Q&A episode in class. THRILLED!
I hope she also showed them this one in which I ask “How many rapists must we kill before men stop raping women?"

Remember an episode of a TV show was banned in #Australia, ostensibly a democracy

I begin every lecture I give “My name is Mona Eltahawy and this is my declaration of faith: fuck the patriarchy. I end each lecture by asking the audience to stand & chant “Fuck the patriarchy.” And I wrote a whole chapter on the importance of profanity 👇🏽lithub.com/mona-eltahawy-…
-Profanity is essential tool in disrupting patriarchy & its rules
-It’s the verbal equivalent of civil
disobedience
-I refuse to be civil w/ someone who doesn’t recognize my humanity fully
-It’s imperative to understand how civility,decorum,manners are used to uphold authority
it is imperative to understand how civility, decorum, manners, and the like are used to uphold authority—patriarchy, whiteness, other forms of privilege, other forms of oppression—and that we are urged to acquiesce as a form of maintaining that authority.

1/ No Chains On Me: Surviving Coercive Control

by @thefayth, cross-posted to facebook.com/thefayth, twitter.com/thefayth and thefayth.tumblr.com on Nov 11th, 2019

{In honor of Lynnette McFadzen, former BiNet USA President and my friend, and fellow survivor.}…
2/ …Today I announce myself the survivor, and veteran of intimate partner violence with mathiastck, my former husband. While doing so I’ll also introduce a term, co-abuse, and identify how lack of awareness of co-abuse leads to further abuse.
3/ And there’s a story about me and Jeffrey Epstein in there too.

I’ve written these words many times, and published a detailed account of my own attempted murder last year for a smaller circle of readers; but this is the first time I openly accuse my ex-husband,…

I just finished a stint in @Twitter jail for "hate speech" (I quoted Jay-Z's song "The Ballad of OJ & used the N word instead of some euphemism like ni99a).

Whoever is in charge of "hate speech" at @Twitter is more dedicated to silencing black folk than actual hate speech.
@Twitter In any case.

Recently I gave a brief, incomplete primer on white supremacy. Any time I discuss racism, I’m obligated to confront my own internal biases, and check my own internalized #misogyny.
@Twitter What follows is directed to any men reading this. Any women reading this: please feel free to add to, amend, or correct this diatribe. The LAST thing I want to do is mansplain misogyny to women.

First of all, all #patriarchy is sexism.

The folk who blame mental illness for terrorist shooting attacks should be forced to delineate which specific mental illnesses they think are responsible for radicalizing all these White men into mass murderers. Make them cite the DSM criteria and applicable treatment options.
Historically, the vast majority of mass shooter terrorists who live to stand trial are deemed competent to stand trial b/c the “insanity” y’all think they have is rooted in a toxic combination of narcissism, sociopathy and/or impulse control dysfunction.
They know the difference between right and wrong but make a *willful choice* to do wrong. Giving them the tools to put their sociopathy into bloody action only furthers the carnage, and America gives them not only the guns but nukes and control of the entire federal government.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
