This is terrifying. Why is the brutalization of women so universal?
@bengalesbian "women are whipped as part of a Rite of Passage ceremony for boys" If this is true, then it seems like the essence of patriarchy revealed: boys obtain the positive status of "men" by harming women and girls.
@iibuprofem @bengalesbian we used to be a proper society
@iibuprofem @bengalesbian This in a third world country…. You’re trying to apply this to everywhere… nonsensical
@iibuprofem @bengalesbian Men are also tortured as part of rite os passage ceremony for women. Stop pretending women are special victims.
@iibuprofem @bengalesbian It is true, I was doing a project on this rite of passage a couple of days ago, it’s the Bull Jumping ceremony. Apparently the idea is this makes the man eternally indebted to the woman because look at the pain she went through for him.
@iibuprofem @bengalesbian Many boys have to be cut in scarification rituals as a rite of passage, but this is something they do to themselves. The patriarchy is prevalent in many cultures and it got worse after colonization
@iibuprofem @bengalesbian What are you ?
@iibuprofem @bengalesbian bro they do the same thing in a different tribe but with boys and yall not sayin shi abt them
