This is my latest essay on #Egypt. For more of my feminist analysis on current events in Egypt and around the world, sign up for FEMINIST GIANT Newsletter feministgiant.substack.com/p/why-do-they-…
I moved to the U.S. in 2000. I’ve learned that many white Americans have a delusional amount of confidence in govt & its institutions. They’re childishly naive in believing that institutions will save them from state power, which they think will work for rather than hurt them.
That stubborn belief in U.S. exceptionalism undergirds the refusal to see the fascism that Trump brought. Black, Indigenuous, and people of colour have no such delusions. They do not expect institutions to protect them because they are so often hurt by those institutions.
My latest: These police cadets are on display in #Egypt where the more men undress the more they are celebrated for virility, strength and hypermasculinity, whereas women are arrested for dancing on TikTok, fully clothed feministgiant.substack.com/p/essay-macho-…
Those bare and barrel-chested cadets on floats that people joked looked like Pride parade graduated into a police force paid to entrap, arrest and torture #LGBTQ people. #Egypt
There is nothing funny about a country where men parade shirtless for the fascist dictator whose regime criminalizes and slut-shames women whether in “revealing” clothes or hijab, including fully-clothed women for selfies and videos on TikTok feministgiant.substack.com/p/essay-macho-…#Egypt
The five interns who compile and write FEMINIST GIANT Global Roundup every Monday-Friday delight and inspire with the articles they include. Look at today’s roundup for example by Samiha Hossain!
#Trump surrounds himself with young, conventionally attractive white women - Footsoldiers of the Patriarchy - and claims he’s a booster of women. When Black and women of colour and in this case an older woman -Lesley Stahl- do their job, he can’t handle it
It’s why he can’t handle Angela Merkle - older woman who is powerful.
Why he’s so often a shit to the Black and women of colour journalists at news conferences.
If he could, he would clone Ivanka and surround himself with her likeness.
And when the white women around him aren’t young and Fox News compliant, they’re helping him become President - Kellyanne Conway - or serving as Five-Star General of the Footsoldiers of the Patriarchy - #AmyConeyBarrettfeministgiant.substack.com/p/if-amy-coney…
Whether we are urged to be civil to racists or polite to patriarchy, the goal is the same: to maintain the power of the racist and the power of patriarchy. Profanity is an essential tool in disrupting patriarchy and its rules. That’s why I say Fuck Trump feministgiant.substack.com/p/editorial-fe…
I refuse to be polite or to be quiet or to be civil. Fuck that. In the era of the white supremacist patriarch aka Trump, profanity is the verbal equivalent of civil disobedience.
