This is a warning to white women who when I post about the US want to talk about “Africa” and when I talk about the U.K. want to talk about “developing countries.”

STAY THE FUCK OFF MY MENTIONS.

I want to survive a fucking pandemic and have ZERO patience with your nonsense.
Stop fucking doing this 👇🏽
If ever there was a time to KNOW that it’s not just “shit over there” but shit everywhere, it’s now in the middle of a global pandemic.

#COVID19 is a virus that respects no borders. Misogynist violence has never respected borders. So stop pointing “over there” and pay attention.

Feminism is a daily struggle, a daily revolution. It is not something I keep in the closet and which I wear once every couple of weeks when some man has been a shit to me. It is a daily revolution for what we’re told is “impossible!” #Covid_19

Feminism is more than men & more than misogyny. It’s a struggle to destroy the patriarchy & attendant oppressions. I began these dispatches because feminism must fight the structural inequalities & injustices that result from patriarchy
Those structural inequalities & injustices have brought the world to its knees. I begin & end each FEMINIST GIANT Dispatch w/ Fuck the patriarchy because I’m intentionally profane/vulgar & because patriarchy & its oppressions are more profane

In Nov, an episode of Australian show Q&A was banned from rebroadcast. Among reasons: I asked “how many rapists must we kill before men stop raping women?” Women are terrorized at home during #COVID19 lockdowns. Imaginary violence vs men shocks more than actual violence vs women
In my latest book #7NecessarySins, the chapter on the “sin” of violence frightens people. I’m told: “Violence begets violence!” What do centuries of male violence vs women beget?

Here are the opening pages of that chapter. My book came out in Sept. 2019

People are more upset at my questions about imaginary violence vs men than they are at the REAL and DAILY violence vs women, queer people, children. Remember this as we hear stories of women having to choose: a deadly virus outside, an abuser inside. #COVID19
