“If feminists had continued to talk about love, then we would have needed to speak about the extreme lovelessness that is at the heart of domination. We would not have been able to go forward with our newly acquired equal rights, jobs, money, and power without telling everyone that we had discovered that #patriarchy, like any colonizing system, does not create the context for women and men to love one another. We would have needed to remind everyone repeatedly that genuine love between females and males could emerge only in a context where the sexes would come together to challenge and change patriarchal thought. To continue to speak of love, we would have had to break through the wall of denial that seduces us all to accept subordination and domination as natural facts of everyday life” (Communion 71).

I'm sorry you needed to go through all this.
Thanks alot for bringing viability to this issue.
I had a case where I criticised a doctor to treat me like I'm just being 'hysterical'.
Guess what his response was:
'Here's the door. If you don't like my treatment, leave'
....but this fuxkin clown was at the same time actually refusing to give a treatment.
Medical systems under #patriarchy are rotten at their core.
In my twenties, I was denied a medically necessary hysterectomy because I “might meet a man who wants kids”
I fought for years to get the surgery, spending weeks out of every month stuck in a hospital bed needing iron and blood transfusions. Too disabled to work. Fainting almost daily. In constant pain.
No matter how sick I got, the hypothetical future husband and baby came before my health. What these imaginary beings might want was more important than what I needed.
When I finally had the surgery, I had a severe post operative complication. The surgeon didn’t believe me. She sent me home.
I had to go to the ER four times before they found the life threatening internal bleed. Each time dismissing me as “attention seeking” or accusing me of not understanding some pain was to be expected.
My then boyfriend saved my life. He got loud and refused to take me home, saying he was convinced I would die.
It turns out, he was right. I had a giant bleed in my belly and an infected abscess that had been growing for weeks while they gaslit and ignored me.
It was a hell of a crash course in medical misogyny, as well as the need to always have an advocate in healthcare settings:
@broadwaybabyto Oh but can my mother name this song in just one note.
#Pronatalism is here. This #rightwing social movement of promoting higher birth rates is rooted in #religion #patriarchy #technology and fear of falling birth rates. Some of these people are self-described #eugencists. A common belief is to see #women as mere objects for breeding.
From the article:
"'Women are to be subordinated to men. [They] largely are going to be responsible for managing the household, although with no real particular authority. .'"

While The Handmaids Tale is fiction, Margaret Atwood has said everything that happens in Gilead has happened over the course of history & could easily happen again
Freezing women’s bank accounts & transferring their assets to male next of kin was a critical step when Gilead overthrew the government

frustrating experience being academic: I recently sent an email to one of my female colleagues' previous supervisor who we both know. I asked him to resolve an impasse that my colleague has tried to resolve but was ignored again and again over 4yrs. Within 4 hours of that email, he resolved the impasse. Considering my colleague is one of the most organised people I know, the only conclusion is that academia remains an #patriarchy filled with #mysogyny and #discrimination
Once again the abuser is somebody close to the victim, and a cishet man.
Yet White Feminism will have us think the real problem is Trans Women and "Foreign looking men", never the husband, never the father, never the boss....
Do we want to do something about domestic abuse or shall we listen to Terfs instead?
Women’s rights and bodily autonomy are under attack, but it’s important we remember the role medical misogyny plays in endangering our lives.
It’s not new, and it’s only getting worse.
When I wanted a tubal ligation, I was denied because I wasn’t married and thus couldn’t get my husband’s ‘permission’.
When I was told I was unlikely to survive a pregnancy, I asked again and again I was denied because I might ‘meet a man who wants kids.’
When I needed a hysterectomy, doctors sought the permission of my 22 year old boyfriend of less than THREE months. They asked him if he would leave me when I became ‘barren’.
Men who want a vasectomy do not have to jump through these hoops. Their body, their choice.
None of us should need a man to consent in order to get the care we want and need.
It’s archaic, patriarchal bullsh*t and we must keep calling it out.

Patriarchy releases electro-industrial single 'Boy on a Leash', teasing new album 'Manual for Dying' #Patriarchy
@BBCNews @top-stories-BBCNews and how does a Trans Bathroom ban prevent this from happening again?
It's been one week since 'Women won over the Queers" and how are we all feeling?
Are the Women feeling 'safer' now, feeling gratitude towards JK Rowling?
And who cares what us Queers think, certainly not our Press, who don't want to talk to us.
Ich muss widersprechen, denn die Geschichte ist komplexer.
Die NSDAP kam aus der Mitte der Gesellschaft, aus der Mittelschicht und wurde vom Adel und vielen Großindustriellen hofiert und unterstützt. Siehe A. Sohn-Rethel zur Hartzburger Front in: "Ökonomie des deutschen Faschismus": https://ia903104.us.archive.org/7/items/AlfredSohn-rethel-OekonomieUndKlassenstrukturDesDeutschenFaschismus/AlfredSohn-rethel-OekonomieUndKlassenstrukturDesDeutschenFaschismus.pdf
Der verlorene Krieg und die Weltwirtschaftskrise setzten der Mittelschicht und dem Adel zu und die hatten Angst um (noch mehr) sozialen Abstieg. Sie politisierten den Antisemitismus, wie es schon der automobilitärische Industrielle Henty Ford getan hatte und beschlossen sozialdarwinistisch die assimilierte jüdische Mittelschicht zu berauben und zu vernichten. Desweiteren verherrlichten sie die Maschine, wie es im futuristischen Manifest stand: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futurismus
Das Zeitalter des Automobilitarismus begann und insofern galt der Faschismus dieser Zeit auch als Modernisierungsdiktatur des Kapitals, insbesondere der Kriegsmaschinerie dieses patriarchalen Kapitalismus. Es war ein Raubmordkrieg, der den Krieg von 1914 - 1918 fortsetzte.
Der heutige Modernisierungstrend ist die KI, die primär für die Militärmaschinerie eingesetzt werden wird, wenn wir dies zulassen.

This is an older article from February 2025, but I thought it might be worth sharing here in the wake of Trump's attempts to transform the civil rights section at the Department of Justice into a fascist attack dog that works only to further his authoritarian ideological goals. Within three weeks of Downmarket Mussolini's inauguration, the regime had already repurposed the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights towards prosecuting Trump's Christian Nationalist agenda, while actively sidelining investigations into racial abuse, disability access, and even sexual assault.

“We’ve Been Essentially Muzzled”: Department of Education Halts Thousands of Civil Rights Investigations Under Trump
"In the three-and-a-half weeks since Donald Trump returned to the presidency, investigations by the agency that handles allegations of civil rights violations in the nation’s schools and colleges have ground to a halt.
At the same time, there’s been a dramatic drop in the number of new cases opened by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights — and the few that attorneys have been directed to investigate reflect some of Trump’s priorities: getting rid of gender-neutral bathrooms, banning transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports and alleged antisemitism or discrimination against white students."
I don't really think it's a coincidence that Trump and his Education Secretary Linda McMahon (a woman extremely active in the cause to privatize education and promote religious voucher schools) immediately prioritized the same winger bullshit at the DOE as the regime is now trying to force the DoJ's civil rights division to pursue; namely discrimination against white people, alleged antisemitism, and women's rights - but only in the extremely narrow context of keeping trans women out of women's sports and bathrooms. This is a Christian Nationalist government, actively working to install a Christian Nationalist political and social order on the United States by whatever means legal, or extralegal, it requires to do so.
