I don’t know anything about this woman who was killed for having a man in her apartment, other than it could’ve been me.
Egypt, my country of birth, is the country with the largest # of women and girls subjected to FGM which is fueled by determination to control female sexuality

So a form of resistance is to say:
I own my body.
It is my right to have sex with whomever I want whenever I want (w/their consent obvs).
It is my right to have sexual with a man/men or a woman/women. My right. Because I own my body.
That is the core of the sexual revolution

Like I said, I don’t know anything about the woman who was thrown off her balcony as punishment for having an unrelated man in her apartment.
I don’t know and I don’t care why he was there. She was an adult woman who had the right to have anyone she wanted in her apartment.

I decide what I do with my body.

Fuck the patriarchy in every time zone and every universe.

And cis heteropatriarchy assumes that a cis woman has sex with only cis men.

Note also: the man who was I. This now dead woman’s apartment is still alive.
He was not thrown off the balcony for being in a woman’s apartment.
She was thrown off a balcony for having a man at her apartment.
