@Slyence The salon piece is a POS
eg, they say, quote ". Along with their anger about abortion, they grouse about not being allowed to punish students "for being homosexual or transgender." but don't cite a specific passage in the complaint
even worse, salon says "cross-dressing" and as far as I can tell this phrase doesn't appear in the pdf of the complaint
so, as far as I can tell Salon is at best lazy and at worst lying

This in-between space is not neutral or level ground; it is politicised ground that shifts our attention away from essentialist assumptions which may inform our ideas about the extant identities on either ‘side’."
War on Gaza exposes Germany's feminist foreign policy as a sham
Dorthe Engelcke, 2024
"Under the logic of colonial feminism, advancements for women can be achieved only if local culture is abandoned. Calls for women’s rights reforms by colonists were thus understood as attacks on local culture, and as an instrument of colonial rule."
Very quickly sketched out #webcomic page idea summarizing the blatantly nonsensical "female nipples are sexual because we treat female nipples as sexual" counter-argument I hear/read so often from #misogynist who want to maintain the #genderbased#censorship status quo established by the #patriarchy.
Why do women still face criticism and trolling over the way they dress, walk and look. People give their unwanted opinion upon their life decisions. When will they let women live on their own terms without being constantly judged?
The famous Indian actress, Deepika Padukone recently became the target of intense online trolling after revealing her baby bump when she came to cast her vote in Mumbai.
Only a few pages in, this is already one of my favorite books of the year. Brilliantly written, an easy read yet so full of crucial perspective. #books#bookstodon#reading#literature#feminism
