I don’t say “fuck” because studies show that people who use profanity are more intelligent. I swear because I insist that my language be as free as I want to be. I own my body and I own my language.

It is imperative to understand how civility, decorum, manners, and the like are used to uphold authority and that we are urged to acquiesce as a form of maintaining that authority: whether we are urged to be civil to racists or polite to patriarchy. lithub.com/mona-eltahawy-…

I begin and end every FEMINIST GIANT Dispatch with “Fuck the patriarchy” because I am intentionally profane/vulgar. Because patriarchy - racist, capitalist, ableist, bigoted - is the profanity 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.”

My political use of profanity illuminates hypocrisy of misogynists, racists, bigots who are more outraged at “fuck” than at sexual assault, than at racism, poverty,etc
I refuse to be polite. Patriarchy is not polite.

We must reject politeness: there is nothing polite about patriarchy. We must reject civility: there is nothing civil about misogyny or racism or transphobia.

Cis-heteropatriarchy insists on the power to name bits of our bodies when it wants and to determine their gender,to use them against us, and to punish us for daring to think those parts belong to us. It insists vaginas are inherently female and inherently profane. #7NecessarySins
I am uncivil. I reject decorum. Cis-heteropatriarchy - which is obsessed with our vaginas - can fuck right off.
Stay out of my vagina unless I want you in there.
