So successful has white supremacist patriarchy been at convincing white women they’re lucky to live in the U.S., not Saudi Arabia/Iran, that so many didn’t pay enough attention to the theocracy that white supremacy was building at home. feministgiant.substack.com/p/if-amy-coney… #AmyConeyBarrett

#AmyConeyBarrett is a reminder that conservatives celebrate in white Christian women what they pathologize in Muslim women feministgiant.substack.com/p/if-amy-coney…

Just as Trump isn’t an aberration but a fruition of decades of white supremacist, misogynist, bigoted rot, so too is conservative dominance of the Supreme Court, which conservatives have worked for since early 1970s, #AmyConeyBarrett is not an aberration feministgiant.substack.com/p/if-amy-coney…

White women haven’t been paying attention. White supremacist patriarchy is their patriarchy:looks & sounds just like them, easier to see Brown men & Black men as the danger. That’s where white supremacist patriarchy always kept attention, always promised to save white women from

White liberal women want to save Muslim women and white conservative women want to feel superior to Muslim women and so refuse to see anything in their beliefs that consigns them to the subservience and submission they think Muslim women must live with feministgiant.substack.com/p/if-amy-coney…

Whether oblivious to their own oppressions or happy with them, are white women waking the fuck up now that the Five-Star General of the Footsoldiers of the patriarchy is someone who looks just like them? feministgiant.substack.com/p/if-amy-coney… #AmyConeyBarrett

This isn’t “my flavour of patriarchy is tastier than yours.” This is fuck the patriarchy everywhere and a wake the fuck up because clearly you’ve cruising on the delusions that your whiteness will save you from white supremacist patriarchy. Nothing will. feministgiant.substack.com/p/coming-soon
