On March 8, the feminist movement flooded the streets of Mexico as part of a global day of mobilization. Among these thousands of women and dissidents, the main demand was an end to femicide and sexist violence.

In Mexico, femicide is a phenomenon that notoriously spread in the 1990s. Ciudad Juárez, one of the largest working-class cities in the country, thanks to rapid industrialization under the Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), constantly appeared in the international press owing to the high level of women murdered within its city limits.

The relocation of production during the neoliberal period allowed for the rise of Ciudad Juárez as an industrial zone because of its abundant migrant labor and its advantageous location on the border for the transfer of goods. This proved lucrative for imperialism and the bourgeoisie on both sides of the Río Bravo, given how close it is to El Paso, Texas. In this context, femicide and trafficking networks spread.

While the mothers of victims, activists, women, and human rights organizations continue to fight for justice and denounce the violence, the authorities have announced various policies supposedly aimed at curtailing this brutal scourge, which hits working women with special viciousness. Far from solving the problem, their “solutions” have instead confirmed the state’s complicity and apathy.

i think trans-affirming cisfeminism's problem is that it views trans people as a way of analyzing cis gender relations, so trans women are going from the status of cis men to cis women, & trans men vice-versa. there is no appreciation for "trans" as its own status, because that would require viewing transphobia as something the patriarchy does on purpose instead of like. something it trips into on its quest to oppress cis women exclusively. and this is also why by and large feminism (including trans feminists) has fucked sucked at talking about NB/GQ people's experiences without binarizing them

#m. #honestly i think understanding all of the different versions of transphobia #are vital to understanding transphobia holistically #like the idea that that trans people are patriarchal bycatch is very similar #to the idea that trans men are never targeted on purpose & only experience ''misdirected'' oppression #the need to force trans experiences into the cis man/cis woman binary is a form of exorsexism #i think a lot more has been said abt transmisogyny but the idea of trans people as being acceptable victims of #violence bc we arent ''real women'' or ''real men'' #something something this is why: #transunity

tw: sexual violence. this essay by ananya pandya is really good, here are some excerpts

her instagram is @/jesuswasajock

#i dont understand why she says violence is a product of capitalism and white supremacy #in an essay about how an indian man raped her #i would consider this patriarchal violence #but thats her prerogative #anti prostitution #male violence #save

“utena is a bit like a shoujo equivalent of evangelion” = a common and inevitable comparison that is admittedly not a bad elevator pitch, giving an idea of utena's symbolism and the genre tropes it engages without requiring an essay-length summary of its plot and themes

“utena is evangelion for the girlies” = SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UPPPP

#utena #revolutionary girl utena #rgu #shoujo kakumei utena #do NOT girldinnerify utena ffs #the whole show is literally designed to deconstruct the concept of 'the girlies'!!! #also yes it engages with shoujo themes and its main characters are female but it's not exclusively for women??? #utena has a large cult following consisting of people of all genders 😭 #like. i get 'for the girlies' has become a funny tiktok meme or whatever but . #maybe don't apply 'jokey gender essentialist stereotypes' to the 'gender stereotypes are a destructive tool of patriarchal violence' show #neon genesis evangelion #evangelion #ellistxt #hmmmm should i rewatch nge next

Even when I'm really invested in the topic and enjoy the writing style, reading books about the history of Natives in the US really is just a miserable and draining experience. It's just a constant flood of hate and violence and cruelty.

#reading reproduction on the reservation and the author was talking about attempts to stop abortions in native communities #how patriarchal family and community systems were forced into tribes #and then the men were pressured into banning abortion under threat of more violence and loss of autonomy #and how that's evolved into this modern idea that abortion is a threat native communities and cultures

i can fully understand the gripes with certain misogynistic tropes/writing issues that are present in the execution of some of cersei’s writing, but i will never understand the “she should have a redemption arc” or “she should be more likeable/less morally dark” perspective. that is not what her character is or has to be to make it great. wanting more female anti-heroes or “redemption arcs” with moral greyness and complexity of the level that asoiaf gives to primarily male characters is entirely understandable, but do some of you people even like cersei as a character, like at its core? like this is not about criticising the execution of certain things when it comes to this character, this is about taking issue with her as a villain fundamentally, which i just do not agree with at all

#i also do not understand why she is juxtaposed only w her brothers #in this respect #like if u wanna take issue w not as many female anti heroes that r allowed the level of true moral greyness of j theon etc i get that #but thats a whole text problem like a family isnt a monolith they r different characters with different drives its not a competition between #them #all three r dealing w some very very diff things too like they r distinct characters #and i honestly dont think cersei’s character set up works with a redemption story like she specifically is way more interesting as she is #she is a discussion of tropes when it comes the ‘female villain’ and u can take issue w the execution but i like the concept a lot #like she is written the way she is for a reason why do u want her to be a different character entirely #like if u want this why not advocate for george making a female character whose story would actually work with the redemption trope instead #of making their writing weaker and less trope busting #ig i just really like with cersei the idea that her being an evil perpetrator doesnt erase her being a victim of misogyny and vice versa #like i like that challenge that she is deserving of sympathy for these things without the need to redeem her or make her ‘likeable’ #patriarchal violence will affect all women #and the story deserves to work just as well with someone u r not supposed to root for #its about the humanization of these people #evil doesnt exist in a vacuum #and it makes perfect sense that these specific systemic conditions create it #and then perpetuate it

The idea that manhood is a type of violence that can be wielded is definitely something that I've found impacts me - the idea that to be a man, I have to fight and bleed for it, that fostering anything else is sacrilege. It's honestly really sad to look at cis men who are entrenched in this idea because it's a curse. I've also found this threat of violence wielded against me in order to "prove" I'm not a man, that if I can not beat people into submission that I am not truly worthy of manhood.

I ultimately see this viewpoint of manhood as fragile - not because manhood or masculinity is inherently so, but because it relies so heavily on other people and if they approve of their manhood. It relies on climbing on other people through any means necessary. Should our manhood only be expressed through the blood on our knuckles? Is it right that we bathe ourselves in so many layers of machismo and false arrogance that our true selves are frozen beneath layers upon layers of apathy and fear?

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #nonbinary #this is also a cornerstone of patriarchy. the supression of manhood and associating us with violence is part of patriarchal structures #the violence associated with manhood and masculinity are chains that bind us #i guess there's this idea that trans people/trans men/transmasc people don't have to worry about violence after a certain point... #...yet i have had experiences of people weilding my manhood against me or withholding it until i 'prove' myself... #...or using my body/name/sexuality/affect/life against me because of some percieved incongruity between my manhood and my 'true nature' #so i can't help but notice that we do face transphobic violence regardless of gender #it's time to get personal ig (lighthearted)(hhh)

I don't think y'all realize (or care) how much your definition of feminity/womanhood is rooted in white supremacy and how that negatively impacts BIWOC

#Black indigenous women of color for the uniformed #not even just the patriarchy straight white supremacist standards that were built around excluding women of color #woc are so masculinized / young woc are so adultified and both age groups are extremely dehumanized #violence against us is so normalized and never given the same weight as violence against white women #doubly so for queer/trans bipoc and femmes #this is why I'm never going to take /feminists/ who center patriarchal/white standards seriously #you are not for women you are for protecting and representing your personal state of womanhood

"ADMIT CONFESSION STABBED 'MY CHUM'," Toronto Star. September 11, 1943. Page 4. ---- Saskatoon, Sept. 11 - (CP) - A signed confession in which Trooper James W. Clarke, 20, of Hamilton, admitted the fatal stabbing of Trooper Arthur E. Clifford, 17, of Toronto, was admitted as evidence here yesterday where he is on trial for murder.

The confession indicated a quarrel over a girl led to the fatal stabbing. Clifford died at Dundurn military camp, where the two men were stationed, July 7.

"I grabbed him on the shoulder." said the confession. "He wheeled around and let me have it without thinking I pulled out a knife. At the look of it he started to run. I then brought the knife down on his back and he let out a weird yell ." Throughout the confession Clark referred to Clifford as "my chum."

the most annoying take ive seen on asoiaf tiktok is that otto is alicents "main" abuser therefore you cant critisice viserys for the way he treated her

the amount of people i saw on there blaming 15 year old alicent for not telling rhaenyra that her father the literal king was grooming her even though he (the literal king of the country) told her not to say anything….literally insane. He is also the worst. The scene in the fourth episode where Rhaenyra is out on the town with Daemon and Alicent is being assaulted by Viserys where you think it’s about Rhaenyra’s freedom versus Alicent’s confinement but actually they’re just both being groomed by the same 2 horrible brothers. That’s the whole point

#hotd #they’re not maddie and cassie from euphoria it’s not a friendship betrayal it’s being torn apart by patriarchal violence within a family #thought being a teen girl in a deeply uncomfortable situation like that was more universal than it was. cause i did not see a lot of empathy

You are the only person on this website with any sense omg everything you say is perfect and true. Every time someone says ‘the second half of the book is all about loumand’ I want to rip my hair it is about CLAUDIA and Claudia and Louis’ dynamic changing and evolving. There have been two whole scenes about a/l released with many more been spoiled already why on earth do people want to convince themselves they’re being sidelined…

its pretty genuinely confusing because every other clip in the extended trailer has armand, i thought? and assad just had a solo interview and there was a giant loumand poster for comicon but you know fandom has to make up a guy to be mad at since claudia and louis’ relationship isn’t as important since they don’t have sex or whatever it is. is it not enough to see two men having gay sex in hd without making it into kpop stan line distribution charts 😕

#qs #and I’m a shipper i love to ship i love romance but that doesn’t make platonic relationships any less important #and just from the trailers we’re getting so much on how cycles of abuse affect children and how adult children only grow increasingly #resentful and that resentment is fair and devastating even if the viewer can see how how the battered partner is manipulated by those #preying specifically on abused ppl so that they can then replicate the same patriarchal possession and violence with an easy mold #but for their child it can just look like your mom is bringing in evil stepdad to replace your evil dad and thus feel failed hateful angry #and wondering how they will expertly maintain claudia’s feelings as valid without victim blaming or removing the onus from the abuser(s) #like how is this not already enough to make your skin vibrate. family is literally hell #being an adult daughter of an abused mother you resent is a tale as old as time. Except she’s stuck as a teenager forever. Hello #and i don’t mean to judge for shipping bc i love romance too but that’s not the only way to engage w media fgdhfjfnfgdhrjf

This is at least 80% just rank contrarianism, 20% being Ishiguro-pilled so take this with the appropriate grains of salt, but: narratives about reconciliation and ending the cycle of revenge are amazing and I think the extreme number of takes elevating the moral superiority of stories where the unambiguous evil is smashed to bits by the Hero is getting kinda creepy, kinda giving me George W Bush vibes.

#also this belief that Jack Torrance breaking the cycle of patriarchal violence by bashing in his own face with a roque mallet is great lit

when you said boys will be boys what would that mean for me
