"idk your feminism isn't sitting well with me when it's only loud about hairy armpits and barbie and not countless women unable to access bare minimum feminine care, no anesthesia during childbirth, shortages in sanitary products, women shelters closing down, Iactating mothers being a higher risk for malnutrition, young girls having no access to education, food or water, and the list worsens" [tiktok video uploaded by a person behind the screen with this caption above while the viral song "labour" by Paris Paloma plays in the background with part of the chorus: "All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid/Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant/Just an appendage, live to attend him/So that he never lifts a finger..."

It's international women's day. White feminists will speak about the hijab being "oppressive" but will not speak about the IOF abducting Palestinian women, stripping them of their hijab, and denying them the right to wear it.

It's international women's day. White feminists will tell you the importance of making period products free, but will remain silent when Palestinian women and little girls in Gaza have to use leftover fabric from tents because aid is blocked and they don't have pads.

It's international women's day. White feminists will gladly share fake accusations -which have been debunked- about mass rapes against Israeli women, but will completely ignore the sexual violence and rape threats Palestianian hostages have been and are subjected to in Israeli prisons.

It's international women's day. White feminists will scream about women's education and the Taliban -even though they only use it for their Islamophobic agendas, not out of concern- and they will remain silent when we say schools and universities in Gaza have been bombed, and there is an educational crisis.

Stop looking the other way. Stop being silent. Free Palestine.

There’s a long history of Western empires proclaiming their duty to defend “human rights,” and often women’s rights and women’s lives in particular, in order to justify imperial invasion and occupation.

One of the most commonly cited examples — and one we included before in Episode 65: How Empire Uses ‘Feminist’ Branding to Sell War and Occupation — is the statement made by the Earl of Cromer, the British consul general in Egypt from 1883 to 1907. On a crusade to depict Islam as an inferior religion to Christianity, Cromer condemned the faith for its treatment of women, citing the veil to argue that Egyptians should be forcibly civilized by the British.

Women in the “Global South” are at the forefront of experiencing the worst of climate change and they are facing the gravest of consequences due to global inaction on this catastrophe.

Witnessing a cognitive dissonance like no other, or simply sheer racist ignorance— self-proclaimed feminists are crying out over actress Margot Robbie, one of the worlds highest paid actors, not receiving her 3rd Academy Award nomination for the surface-level feminist movie Barbie (2023) that earned over $1 billion (USD) in the global box office last year…

Whilst women in Gaza have absolutely no access to menstrual hygiene and new mothers face C-Sections without anaesthesia. Palestinian women are using cut up tent material as menstrual hygiene products, which poses a massive risk for fatal toxic shock.

These same self-proclaimed feminists cannot even speak on what Palestinian women and girls are facing, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in typical Imperialist feminism fashion made a post to show her grieviences for the “Barbie Oscar snub”— when just the other week, the failed Presidential candidate had been avidly endorsing opposition to the ceasefire that would have saved thousands of lives.

There’s this phenomenon of feminism staring us right in the face; a form of feminism that prioritises hegemonic alliances over uprooting the inequality and brutality women in the global south are consistently facing. White women do not see POC in their feminism, this lack of second nature response is a direct product of white supremacy; to deny our sisters humanity, to ignore their pain, it comes from no place other than comfort in their whiteness and the imperial subjugation of the female experience that has long since centralised whiteness.

Some tankie bs detection

I saw this post on my dash. The user is blocked now. But just to educate people so that they won't fall for idiotic claims online, here are a couple of facts:

1. The Islamic Republic is not anti imperialist, they're anti USA. The regime is very much in love with Russian imperialism. At this point, Iran is an unofficial russian colony. And by the support of their imperialist father figure they have their small version of imperialism in middle east. Ask Iraq and Lebanon.

2. There's no "safety" when it comes to economy in Iran. The "national sovereignty" is called "those fvckin thieves in power" here. Iran's regime is one of the most corrupt regimes by international index. Rent, nepotism, embezzlement and money laundering are serious issues in Iran. Done only and only by the governors and people in power. Social class is not only a thing, there's a raging gap between rich people and those in poverty. And the gap is getting bigger and bigger by month. If you have connections in government or you are in the government, you'll get richer and richer. Other wise, soon enough you'll be in poverty too. Many families, including mine, who used to be considered middle class, have incomes lower than the poverty threshold now.

About 15% of Iran's economic failure including inflation is on the sanctions. The rest is on the corruption within the regime.

Iran's banking system is also a corrupted organ. The so called Islamic banking is anything but Islamic. The loan interest rate is one of the highest worldwide, 23%, so that often you have to pay back more than twice the money you've received. It's called Riba in Islam and it's Haram. According to the regime themselves, the banking system in European countries, even in the USA, is more Islamic than us. The fact that some of the biggest embezzlement in Iran has been done by bank managers should give you a picture of how they're drinking our blood.

None of this is on USA imperialism. It's all the Islamic Republic.

3. The Islamic Republic doesn't support Palestinians. The regime is extremely racist and anti Arab. I dare you talk about this with an actual Arab. IR don't give two shites about Palestinians lives. The regime is antisemitic. That's what they are. Palestine is just an excuse to attack Israel. In the past 20+ years of my life, living in Iran and dealing with these posers, not once we've been educated about Palestine and Palestinians lives. Everything I know, I've learned from online resources and documentaries make by Palestinians. The regime doesn't talk about Palestinians when they pose as supporters. I'm pretty sure they don't know or care to know anything noteworthy about Palestine, considering my knowledge of the human rights violations there is always more than basiji people of my country, and I don't even know that much. All the regime talks about is how Israel should be eliminated. IR supports a terrorist organization called Hamas, not Palestinians.

4. Let's forget about everything I said so far. I wonder if tankies like the op has any ounce of humanity in them! The regime has been oppressing women, violating every type of human rights and murdering lgbtq people and other-thinkers for the last 40 years. The spectacular environmental disaster in Iran is the direct result of regime's policies and neglect. This is a case of human rights violation since it's ruining people's lives, especially ethnic minorities, like Arab farmers in south.

No religious minority is safe in Iran, be it atheist, Baha'i, Jew, christian, or Sunni Muslim. They commit crime against children, through labor and through war. IRGC have little regards for human lives in general but it descent into no regards at all for ethnic minorities.

They have MASS EXECUTED 30,000 leftists (members of Marxist Communist parties and their supporters) within the first decade of their autocratic rule. It's unbelievably funny to me when foreign leftists support a regime that has executed many of their fellow thinkers and still arrest and torture any left activist in Iran.

To say the reason the 1979 revolution happened was to get rid of western influence and to establish a democratic free independent government is true. But the Islamic Republic is not that result. Don't be fooled.

i'm a feminist, but that does not mean that i support all women

stop expecting me to support white and/or american women / women from the global north who have been directly involved/indirectly complicit in the degradation and oppression of my people. i am not obligated to support hillary clinton or to think michelle obama is a girlboss. i spit on all the women who served in the united states military, women who committed and continue to commit war crimes against my people

these women can go fuck themselves. fuck the women who went on a power trip feeling like liberated girlbosses by assaulting brown and/or muslim men. these women deserve every terrible thing that happens to them

p.s. this is sexual assault just in case u have difficulty identifying it when it happens to brown/muslim men. i wonder how 'empowered' this stupid white bitch felt after sexually assaulting these men

For obvious reasons, I don't support Hamas, just the resistance. I condone every type of it except when it's rap* and s3x based exploitation of women(even the colonizer ones). But something needs to said about people who are only talking about Palestine now that hamas has kidnapped mostly israeli women. I never saw y'all talk about Palestinian women the way you're writing multiple think pieces now. Even the half-arsed support you're showing to Palestinian women and children comes in the form of a little sidenote. Female iof soldiers and even the colonizer women/general population have treated Palestinian women in the most inhumane ways (that of course is nothing compared to what males of any side have done).

I doubt it you even can think about 3 Palestinian women who either led resistance or were brutally k worded by israeli government and cotizens. The way israelis on here and twitter are trying to control the narrative is funny too.

If y'all give two 💩 s about Palestinian girls and women, you wouldn't be infantalizing every israeli women(talking about the ones who are not involved in that kidnapping etc). They're living breathing colonizers omfg.

Did y'all denounce and frantically write long paragraphs about this shit a month ago?? no and you still wouldn't...

In this manner, ūman ribu made connections between the status of Japanese wives and Japanese imperialism by recalling the sexual violation of the comfort women.
