This has made my day. This is one of my favorite pictures of me and this misogynist shit is using it to show that “All feminists turn ugly once they cross 30s 40s. The bitterness start showing.” May I always be ugly to the patriarchy and its misogynist shits (📷 @rerutled) Split frame: Mona in a sequ...
“wow, this proves the theory that all hardcore feminists are hideous to look at.”

The misogynist shit who posted the initial picture has blocked me so he can’t see me and Salma together 😂😂
He’s a misogynist shit AND a prude. He censored the picture of Salma

An Egyptian woman was subjected to mass sexual assault in the town of Mit Ghamr in December. The assault was caught on camera. After social media campaign to support her, the 7 men were put on trial. She was doxxed and victim-blamed. The men have all been acquitted. #حق_بسنت_فين
Here is background on the case egyptianstreets.com/2020/12/18/sex… #حق_بسنت_فين
As revenge & to silence her, the lawyer of the men accused her of “violating family values.” The #Egyptian regime has used that charge this year to convict and imprison female TikTok users. The regime has also detained witnesses in a gang rape case. feministgiant.com/p/why-do-they-…

“I wrote this book with enough rage to fuel a rocket. I knew I had to write it while I was high but on the glory of beating up a man who had sexually assaulted me.”

Opening sentences of The Seven Necessary Sins For Women and Girls

penguinrandomhouse.com/books/609114/t…
After I explained to a club manager why do beat up the man, the manager looked at my Beloved and asked me “Why didn’t you let your husband take care of it?”

I almost beat him up too.

I don’t want to be protected. Protection is conditional. I want patriarchy to stop protecting violent cis men. I don’t want to be protected. I want to be free, free of violence, and free of cis men’s violence. (April 2020) 🎥 @rerutled

I'm working on this week's essay for FEMINIST GIANT and I'm thinking of just collecting my Twitter rants this week under the headline SAVE US FROM THE BAD DAYS OF WHITE MEN
I've been wondering for a while when the profiling of white men will start
Understand that I don't want anyone profiled or surveilled. I want you instead to see how much whiteness, especially white evangelicals, get away with. Especially racist and misogynist cis white men.

Fuck the white supremacist patriarchy and its protection and enabling of white cis men and their racist gendered violence. I made this in April 2020 and it’s a question I ask every day since then: What fucking world is this?
🎥 @rerutled

Who but a white Christian man who just killed eight people could say he loved "God and guns" and that he went on a shooting rampage to eliminate the source of his temptation?

Muslim men have been dragged off planes simply for speaking Arabic.
I will not say his name. He is a white Christian terrorist. And these three things - white, man, evangelical - are key because in the US they give you miles and miles of leeway.

From storming the Capitol to electing a sexual predator to QAnon: white evangelicals & impunity.
