Hey Australia! Remember when a TV episode in your ostensible democracy was banned in 2019 because a bunch of white men complained that I asked “How long must we wait for men and boys to stop murdering us, to stop beating us and to stop raping us? How many rapists must we kill?"
In case you forgot: When I ask “How long must we wait for men and boys to stop murdering us, to stop beating us and to stop raping us? How many rapists must we kill?" the TV episode is banned. In the year 2019 in a “democracy” called #Australia.

This TV episode is still banned

My questions about imaginary violence against men are considered worse than the real violence against women.

Imaginary violence vs men shocks more than actual violence vs women

The #Egyptian government has arrested at least 10 journalists since the #coronavirus was detected in the country, a local human rights group said, accusing authorities of seizing on the pandemic to accelerate a long-running campaign against dissent. google.com/amp/s/www.thes…
The wave of detentions comes even as authorities across the world release inmates in a scramble to curb the spread of the virus in prisons, where social distancing and other preventative measures prove impossible, said @anhri the Arab Network for Human Rights Information. #Egypt
The #Egyptian government has not released political detainees to prevent an outbreak, and instead put an end to family visits in prisons as a precautionary step. #COVIDー19

Ambition, one of The Seven Necessary Sins For wans Girls, is defiance, a middle finger to patriarchy’s insistence that women shrink ourselves. “Who do you think you are?” I am asked. Here’s who I think I am #7NecessarySins
Ambition is a “sin” because patriarchy wants women to be *less than*; ambition means being *more than*. #7NecessarySins
Patriarchy works in tandem with other forms of oppression. That is especially the case for women of colour and women from marginalized groups: patriarchy, racism, capitalism, classism, transphobia, etc. ##NecessarySins

This is the man who wants to shoot me in the head. This is the account which sent me the threats to Instagram on Tuesday.
His account is still up and running on @instagram, which is trying to determine if threatening to shoot someone in the head “violates community guidelines.
Can’t wait to hear your judgement @instagram - are your “community guidelines” ok with threatening to shoot a woman in the head?
