Mostly I tweet about news regarding women's rights globally. Generally, what's most important in my opinion is helping people to realize that patriarchy is real and violence against women is systemic. That patriarchy is a global culture, so normalized as to be rendered invisible.
It takes different forms, but for women globally, the root is based in power dynamics and exploitation of female bodies.
It's not possible to reconcile gender identity politics with women's oppression. These ideas are inherently at odds because gender doesn't recognize sex.
Feminism depends on one basic understanding: that the main reason women are subjugated—pay gaps, pornography, forced sterilization, sex slavery—are all connected, that control of women's bodies is the backbone of global economic systems. Free labor and sexual slavery benefit men.
The global violence and suppression of women supports the economic system.
We are being erased as a sex class by genderism, because some men, confronted with women's demands for liberation, claim to be us in order to redirect our energy to center men's feelings.
It's deliberate.
Patriarchy is real, yet it's like a hydra, sprouting heads, new modes of control.
At root, what's at stake is more than women's rights, it's the global system that uses women and children as chattel through the sex industry and forced labor.
The backlash illustrates the severity.
I tried to map the money. Of course, there aren't statistics about the profits governments earn off rape, free labor, and the sex industry, because governments collude with organized crime.
It's safe to say all economies exist by raping women in some way. https://twitter.com/WomenReadWomen/status/1264545756486098945?s=19
How much more obvious could it be that in the middle of global women's protests demanding bodily autonomy - humanity and the right to not be a vessel or sex object - men suddenly started telling us we don't exist in a body, but in their head, as some sort of sexual fantasy?
How much more obvious could it be that women are being legally defined as a sex object, by men, who want breast implants and "feminization" surgery, during the most porn-steeped period of all of human history? Why is it not immediately obvious that gender identity is sexism?
More than that, the redefining of women as porn doubles down on putting women back in our place; if men's sexualized definition is meant to be our reality, why should we fight for autonomy? After all, we exist in his head. The backlash is metaphysical, and targets children.
I've come to think the real reason gender ideologues target children is because they know what they are saying is religious and nonsense. "Born in the wrong body." In some other way, they're fighting to maintain the status quo of patriarchy while women demand independence.
Gender ideology is preservation of a sex-hierarchy system. Self-preservation is in order; the men who are most threatened by women's liberation are the same who tell us we are reducible to sex objects.
This idea must be conveyed to children, it seems, for their power to continue.
All I know is men never wanted to be women when they couldn't vote, own property, have a job.
If transgenderism is innate, where were the men clamoring to have their feet bound, to be sold as child brides?
No, they're purely profiting off extreme female sexualization.
