A majority of Americans now believe that — due to the horrific humanitarian disaster in Gaza — the U.S. should block new arms shipments to Israel. I agree. There should be no more U.S. money for the Netanyahu war machine. cepr.net/press-release/…
Arguing that "sex work" must always exist because there needs to be a class of women to bear the brunt of violent male sexuality (or else "actual rapes" will occur) is stigma against women in the sex trade predicated on the rape culture myth that men need sex. Alison was right.
For toxicologists, "dose makes the poison," he said. "If the dose keeps going up, we start to worry. If we're seeing effects on placentas, then all mammalian life on this planet could be impacted. That's not good." medicalxpress.com/news/2024-02-m…
@NormyWolf @72trailsofsmoke I’m carrying water for the autonomous women’s movement. I just think an autonomous women’s movement has to have an analysis of material exploitation and can’t therefore, align itself with capital.

The IDF raided the home of a family that requested accommodation to evacuate their child with cerebral palsy—grenading the kitchen, schrapnel piercing the kid’s eye and brain; they executed the parents; then berated the 2 other kids about tunnels, before sending them out on foot.

The official state of Israel account has posted this video, saying it is facilitating aid into Gaza. A short clip at the end of the video, claiming to show tents and shelter equipment for Gazans, was actually filmed in March 2022, showing tents in Moldova for Ukrainian refugees.
The crisis in Sudan requires the world's immediate action. The UN is urging countries not to forget the millions of people caught up in the devastating conflict and provide the necessary funding to deliver life-saving humanitarian assistance. More: news.un.org/en/story/2024/…
No feminist campaign 2 hold Israel accountable 4 killing of potential witnesses, destruction of evidence, preventing independent documentation of rape (including by discouraging victims from talking 2 UN investigators). I blame no woman 4 not believing rapes occurred (esp. woc).
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
There is nowhere else for these people to go, save for mass ethnic cleansing. This is going to be a blood bath that will make the last 4 months pale in comparison if Israel is not stopped.

What Doyle notes here about the injustice and harm of misrepresentation resonates profoundly and personally for me. Online bullying creates a horrifying double bind that can smash up people’s sense of reality and their mental health. You know that the bullies want attention,…

Just a fib you told because it was your side's fib.
@TimesRadio @HadleyFreeman @hugorifkind Hadley tells a lot of lies in this clip. I find "there was a ceasefire before Oct 7th" to be the most galling. In 2023, before October 7th, around 240 Palestinians - dozens of them children - were killed by Israeli forces and settlers in the West Bank alone.
The question is whether we try and organise reproduction in a way that is just and non exploitative for women, or whether according to your model we just carry on with it being unjust and exploitative for women and then mess with all the words so we cannot describe what is…
Reproduction is a massive biological psychological and material investment and it has to be socially organised. Srsly watching you people do social engineering is like watching toddlers trying to fix an engine with a diagram of a plate of spaghetti bolognese.
@EmpiricalThumb @janeclarejones It doesn't But it changes the way we organise society We should not organise society around reproduction Even if we acknowledge it is a part of our biology
Every time you say that when we define a women as female we reduce women to some kind of baby making breeding stock all you are saying is that you cannot conceive the existence of women apart from the patriarchal meanings that have been attributed to us. That’s a you problem.…
@JoeMaristela And how the people imposing patriarchal power structures know which people to oppress?
Pretending we don’t possess the biological characteristics that lead to women’s oppression doesn’t resolve the oppression. It makes it impossible to analyse or challenge the basis on which women are oppressed. 1/3
Redefining an oppressed class of people to include members of the oppressor class does not liberate or benefit those who are oppressed. Pretending men can be women too is the very definition of a luxury belief. The consequences aren’t felt by men or wealth-protected women. 2/3
I think we should just redefine trees as tambourines because that will stop people chopping them down.
@janeclarejones Yes, men wished to control women's reproductive capacities Hence it's wrong and backward for us to define womanhood through these
@Mhassan13721 @Martina Not true. I have gay and lesbian friends who've had biological children and the idea they might not have been able to have them because of a decision they made when they were thirteen or fourteen years old is horrifying, both to them and to me.
@Martina I must get ten of those a day. I often feel like asking, 'what about me previously led you to believe I thought women shouldn't have rights and that gay kids should be sterilised?'
Jane did such an amazing job editing my long read on the proto-Indo-Europeans' as the bringers of patriarchy that she went right into the briar patch :D
So, I fell down some rabbit hole into the incredible new archeogenetic information they now have on the history of Indo-Europeans and now apparently I am spending my afternoon wandering around the Eurasian steppes courtesy of Google maps. We are some seriously fucked up…
@janeclarejones You're welcome. I can't wait for everyone to get to read this essay. I've been writing it for a year. Thank you for some of the excellent maps you shared!!!
New cover pic - feel free to steal and use against the wilful misconstruers. h/t @janeclarejones for citing it and reminding me!!
@RadfemBlack Harvey Weinstein's rape conviction was overturned yesterday because the judge let too many women testify against him. In. Sane.
@brightestpet Nor the right. That's the point of patriarchal domination: no one and no institution is on the side of or designed to address harms to women.
Lots of you liking my slightly inaccurate post, please see below for corrections, though I retract none of the rage that prompted me here. Men do galactic scales of harm to women, and then use a technicality to do it again. There Is No Law.
A retrial means retraumatising the victims. So ... hunting.
He's still in prison for the California case. And there will be a retrial. Would have been helpful for that to be in the first few stories to land. Still, rapist hunting could be excellent interval training.
