I’m a massive fan of profanity. We must recognize that the ubiquitous ways patriarchy socializes women to shrink themselves - physically and intellectually - extend also into language, into what we can and cannot say. feministgiant.com/p/essay-why-i-… #WhyISayFuck
At the heart of that policing, standing guard over our language like a baton ready to strike, is civility. Patriarchy reserves for itself the power to offend, the power to be obscene. (This Australian TV episode was banned from rebroadcast)
Patriarchy wastes no time in policing women’s mouths as vehemently as it does the genitals of anyone who not a cisgender heterosexual man. Profanity is an essential tool in disrupting patriarchy and its rules.

Fed up as I am with the consistent refusal to take seriously the danger of white women like Marjorie Taylor Greene, I suggest you forget the Bechdel Test & follow my If so-and-so was a Muslim Test: If Marjorie Taylor Greene was a Muslim she'd be in Gitmo feministgiant.com/p/if-marjorie-…
If the white women who stormed the Capitol were Muslim, they would have been called “fanatics” and “extremists,” and vilified for the violence they committed, not constantly remembered by loved ones as the best version of themselves. feministgiant.com/p/white-women-…
If Amy Coney Barrett was a Muslim, her zealotry would have been pathologized, not earn her a lifetime post on the highest court in the land. feministgiant.com/p/if-amy-coney…

The ancient Egyptian word for "makeup artist" derives from the word for "to write/engrave."

And the word for "makeup palette" derives from the word meaning "to protect."

I am especially interested in connecting “write/engrave/protect” of make up to tattoos. I’ve spoken of how my tattoos helped me heal and my essay on eyeliner will explore that more. Mona's inner forearms showing her tattoos: on the right inne
