Mona Eltahawy Would Like You to Fuck Right Off With Your Civility Politics google.com/amp/s/www.vice…
This episode of #Australian TV show Q&A was banned from rebroadcast for reasons including I said “fuck” 10 times & asked “How many rapists must we kill before men stop raping women?”
Fuck civility.
Fuck civility.
There is a whole chapter in #7NecessarySins on the importance of Profanity.
“...it is imperative to understand how civility, decorum, manners, and the like are used to uphold authority—patriarchy, whiteness, other forms of privilege...”

I begin and end every FEMINIST GIANT Dispatch with “Fuck the patriarchy” because I am intentionally profane. Because patriarchy - racist, capitalist, ableist, bigoted - is the profanity and at the heart of inequalities & injustices that brought us here
What fucking world is this?
I am a profane woman. I am deliberately and politically profane because patriarchy and violence and poverty and capitalism and racism and transphobia are the real profanity and not the fact that I say “fuck.”

I end my public talks by asking the audience to chant with me: Fuck the patriarchy
Thank you my comrade @OutlwileTsipane for video from the #Soweto Theatre at the end of my keynote address at @Abantu_ in December.

And here’s another angle from @Abantu_ and Fuck the patriarchy
I am an intentionally profane woman.
My political use of profanity illuminates hypocrisy of misogynists, racists, bigots who are more outraged at “fuck” than at sexual assault, at “fuck” than at racism,poverty,etc
I refuse to be polite. Patriarchy is not polite.
Fuck civility

I began with a picture from Soweto.
I end with a vjdeo from DC.
My message is the same:
- I am not here for polite protest because patriarchy is not polite
- I am not here for civility because patriarchy - and its crimes - is not polite or civil.
Fuck the patriarchy
