The more they undress, the more #Egyptian men are celebrated for virility, masculinity, strength. These are students of the Police Academy on display on Thursday for our fascist dictator Sisi, whose regime has been arresting women for dancing and singing, fully clothed, on TikTok
When they undress, #Egyptian male celebrities expect to be praised. They are not slut-shamed or criminalized. 
#Egyptian women are criminalized, slut-shamed & punished in the name of “morality” - whether they are in “revealing” clothes or hijab. Actress Rania Youssef faced jail in 2019, for "inciting debauchery" over a dress bbc.in/2D2JY32
In the name of “morality” the #Egyptian regime has arrested and jailed at least 9 young, mostly working class women for singing, dancing, and posting selfies on Tik-Tok - fully clothed FYI. huffingtonpost.in/entry/egypt-ti…
Also, this homoerotic display of graduates of the #Egyptian Police Academy is taking place in a blatantly homophobic country google.com/amp/s/www.nyti…
Patriarchy is adept at these seeming paradoxes: see #Russia and Putin’s shirtless photographs in a country where homophobia and misogyny are pillars of patriarchy. The message is clear - we dictate when and how your bodies can be displayed because Patriarchy owns your bodies.
The preening hypermasculinity comes at a time in #Egypt when an unprecedented # of women are exposing sexual assault. Sisi’s regime is trying to terrorize them into silence via TikTok women arrests & arrests of witnesses in support of a gang rape victim feministgiant.substack.com/p/why-do-they-…
Patriarchy, in this case the #Egyptian regime, reserves its moral crusades for queer people and women, especially the daughters of the working class, but not the sons of the wealthy who rape and sexually assault. feministgiant.substack.com/p/why-do-they-…
Justice will not be served by a predatory and patriarchal State. That same State which rapes female activists (“virginity tests”) and gay men )”anal tests”) will not deliver us justice. feministgiant.substack.com/p/why-do-they-…
Asking a State which has sexually assaulted us to get us justice from men who sexually assault us is like asking Patriarchy to protect us from patriarchy. Nothing protects us from that system of oppressions The real justice comes from destroying patriarchy feministgiant.substack.com/p/why-do-they-…
Trump is a fascist misogynist and homophobic white supremacist who calls Sisi “my favourite dictator” and is BFFs with Putin.
If he could, he would be dancing topless

You know Trump would be shirtless in his rallies, dancing to Macho Man if it weren’t for the fact that patriarchy has determined what “masculinity” is conventionally attractive and powerful and therefore suitable to display. And ironically for him, it’s not his body. It’s Putin
Which is why:
Don’t let it dominate you!”
#Trump talks about #COVID19 as if it were a terrorist attack or an invading army and not a pandemic.
He talks about it as if it were a war and not a virus.
This is toxic masculinity at its worse. h/t @rerutled
