Let’s be clear: Lindsey Graham & GOP want cis white women to have more white babies

Graham is the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee & wants white women to be like #AmyConeyBarrett. Another senator on the committee wanted to know - during Barrett’s confirmation hearing - who did the laundry in her house. Babies and laundry

Wealthy, white, cis(het), able-bodied Christian men completed conservative domination of #SCOTUS w/ confirmation of an obedient white, cishet, Christian extremist mother.

Conservatives in the US celebrate in white Christian women what they pathologize in Muslim women feministgiant.substack.com/p/if-amy-coney… #AmyConeyBarrett

#AmyConeyBarrett is a mediocre judge who was elevated because she’s a white mother of school-aged children who will do white supremacist patriarchy’s bidding in a country that hates mothers and children who are not white.

How richly hypocritical that in the middle of a pandemic, the administration that’s done so little for mothers of school-aged children, esp Black & women of colour, who are being pumelled by triple work loads, demands we celebrate a privileged white mother of school-aged children

How cruel - the ultimate adjective of Trump era - that the administration that insists we celebrate that Barrett is a mother of school-aged children is same administration that has ripped apart migrant mothers from their school-aged children in concentration camps at the border.

White supremacy reduces cis white women to their wombs and considers giving birth to lots of white babies to be a woman’s highest calling, from Lindsey Graham to Senator Who Does the Laundry to President Grab Them By The Pussy.

So successful has white supremacist patriarchy been at convincing white women that they’re lucky to live in the U.S. and not Saudi Arabia or Iran, that so many white women did not pay enough attention to the theocracy that white supremacy was building right here at home.

#AmyConeyBarrett is not an aberration. She is the fruition of decades of work by white supremacist patriarchy. White Republican women know what to say and do to benefit from their proximity to the power of the white men in their lives. feministgiant.substack.com/p/if-amy-coney…

White liberal women want to save Muslim women - over there somewhere - 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.

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