I was particularly struck by this quote in Samiha Hossain's Global Roundup compilation about the #AuratMarch in #Pakistan. Text: I have been an activist for over 20 years and have bee
Organisers of #AuratMarch rallies on #InternationalWomenDay have received death threats after a "vicious smear campaign" saw doctored images of the event circulate online.

Thousands took part in marches across #Pakistan calling for women's rights ph.news.yahoo.com/pakistan-women…
Thank you @mariammagsi for letting me know about the petition asking Pakistani journalists for a public apology and to retract all accusations of blasphemy, so as to protect the lives of the feminist marchers. docs.google.com/document/d/1Pe… #AuratMarch

I explain more here in analyzing the Jan 6 insurrection in the US: “She never imagined the Capitol Police would shoot her because the police rarely shoot white women, unless it’s a cop who shoots his wife at home.” feministgiant.com/p/white-women-…

The chapter on Violence in The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls is the most controversial of the "sins." I stand in the disturbance and discomfort caused by the questions I've posted in it. An excerpt feministgiant.com/p/how-many-rap…
I insist you stand in that discomfort and disturbance too, because women, girls, nonbinary and queer people face more than disturbance and discomfort -- they are dying, and patriarchy shows little concern.
