Me: who tf is crossing the border during this fascism?
White man: I cross regularly. I was just in Florida lol.
Me: man, you crazy. be careful. my stomach churns for all those incarcerated and enslaved. and I fear we won't know the depth of the depravity until many years down the road.
White man: I agree with you. Crossing hadn't been bad at all. Border guards have always been kind and polite. I do think being a white middle aged man works in my favor. But I also steer clear of troubled areas and what not. I do the touristy stuff. I was in Disney world recently. It was fun. Zero issues.
Me: yeah, you're not exactly the demographic they're targeting, but all the more reason to boycott. they don't deserve your money that's going toward murdering Iranians and building concentration camps.

What is this arm?
There’s a person with a black tee & black dad cap wearing some Nazi stuff, flexing.
But his arm. His shoulder looks detached. like a balloon pulled off of his shoulder and attached with a stick, then it’s skinny again, and his forearm is like twice the circumference for his tiny bicep bulge. It is the strangest show of strength I’ve seen.

DECOLONIAL DICTIONARY
DON'T SAY "Middle East"
DO SAY “SWANA”
Why?
Where is the Middle East? East of whom?
This is a colonial term that defines the region by its geographical position relative to its European colonizers. Rather than being an accurate descriptor, it perpetuates colonial ways of thinking.
The term SWANA (South-West Asia and North Africa) offers a decolonial alternative, although it also has its pitfalls (such as grouping the many diverse cultures of the region under one label).
Be mindful when using the word "Levant" to get around this issue - while many people in the region identify with it, it's French in origin and dates back to the French colonial conquest of the region.

... how, exactly?

I'd like to agree, but this is what l've believed my whole life and it's wrong.
Solving global a problem is a huge task, and takes forever. Worse, somebody (not you) is going to use it as an excuse to avoid dealing with an immediate problem. I've seen this happen over & over.

If you are talking about the 4B movement, it's not just a "sex and relationship strike". It's about women refusing to date, have sex with, marry, or have children with men, BECAUSE doing so allows them to use that time, energy, and other resources on themselves. The main point of the movement is for women to focus on using their physical and mental resources to benefit themselves and other women, and building community amongst themselves. If the focus all stays on the movement being about a "sex and relationship strike towards men" then that's still putting the focus on men, when it is a movement that is meant to center women. It is affecting exactly who it needs to affect, because it is affecting the women who are benefitting from prioritizing themselves.

War on women.
It's clear from the Epstein files that the "Me Too" movement had to be defeated. It's pretty obvious why.
Carol Cadwalladr: "I struggled all week to write about the momentous geopolitical revelations in the Epstein files. And I realised it's because I had to write this first.
Epstein's world is our world. We live in a paedophiliac culture. That's what we can't face. But now have to.
Sexual desire for children is not just protected, it's monetised. It's algorithmically amplified, fed into LLMS owned by Jeff's friends.
The global superpower is another close pal. This is Jeff's World. And we're living in it."
"That, I think, is why my words wouldn't come this week.
And why other women I know have struggled too."
"I don't think men understand where women are right now. After Gisele Pelicot, then the Italian case, now this.
It's become undeniable: men view us as orifices or irrelevant. We're in a profoundly dark place, whereas they are carrying on as if it's just another news story."
"...a culture which reveres female youth and innocence despises female age and experience. It disgusts them, scares them. That's our pedophiliac culture too; misogyny of adult women is the opposite of sexual desire for girls, an inverted mirror.
We are crones, hags, witches. Because we're a threat.
Because we see these men for who they are. Because, except for rare exceptions - the monstrosity that is Ghislaine Maxwell - we are protectors. Of children. Of society. Of a world in which rich men don't get to act with impunity. Not on our watch.."

To Every American Who's Sorry
We're getting at least 10 posts a day from Americans apologising, and saying things like they didn't vote for Trump or don't support his policies. To be blunt, none of that actually matters. You can say you're different from the rest of Americans, but to the rest of the world, that distinction doesn't exist.
To us, your country is a single entity on the world stage, and it's threatening its allies. Think about how you view other countries. For example, Russian opposition doesn't change what Russia does, because that's their domestic politics. The same thing applies to the US too, except you had the power to choose your president, and you may still have it.
So instead of coming here nonstop to apologise on behalf of your country for your constant need for sympathy, focus on actually changing something while you still can.

Ok then as someone who opposes this regime and everything it stands for I want you to tell us what we're supposed to do. If you're so smart you tell me what to do, because all of us here who oppose this are doing what we can. I'm tired of other countries acting like this towards all US citizens

Hey New York Times I see your "did women ruin the workplace?" and raise you one "did men ruin the entire fucking world?"

Men: "Why do feminists hate men so much?"
Women: "We don't. We just stopped centering our entire existence around you, and apparently, that's enough to make you mad."

Feminism doesn't teach women to hate men, men do.

If your number one argument against Karoline Leavitt is something about her looks, I think you might want to consider reflecting on your thoughts about women, superficial facades and perhaps prioritize thinking about her lies, hypocrisy, secrecy, immorality and evasiveness.

Facebook comment reads:
Which men are they
facing danger from? All? Most? Some?
Few? Hardly any? What pisses a lot of men off are the sweeping generalisations made by women in this discussion. So if you must mention men, tell us which men so nobody has to try and guess.

Gender-based violence: It’s not just
Across Canada, people face violence every day because of their gender, gender expression, gender identity, or perceived gender identity. This is called gender-based violence (GBV) — and it’s a violation of human rights.

GBV is often misunderstood, and even more often dismissed as “just a girl thing”. But GBV affects us all, and it’s everyone’s job to stop it.

It’s not just a minor problem
Gender-based violence is prevalent across Canada, and it has a serious impact.

160 women and girls were killed by violence in 2020Footnote i
44% of women in Canada have experienced some form of violence by an intimate partner in their lifetimeFootnote ii
7 million women in Canada have been sexually assaulted at least once since the age 15Footnote iii
61% of women aged 15 – 24 experienced unwanted sexual behaviours in public placesFootnote iii
Younger women experience higher rates of gender-based violence. Footnote iii
It’s not just flirting
Sexual violence, including forced sexual activity, catcalling or unwanted touching, disproportionately affects women.

Overall, women are 5x more likely to be sexually assaulted than menFootnote iv
But women 15-24 are 7x more likely to be sexually assaulted than men of the same ageFootnote i
It’s not just in person
Online violence gives perpetrators new methods to control victims, like GPS phone tracking or harassment campaigns.

23% of women worldwide have experienced online abuse or harassment at least once in their life. Footnote v
In 2018, 18% of women experienced unwanted behaviour in a virtual space in the 12 months priorFootnote iii and 33% of young women aged 15 to 24 experienced online harassment at least once in the 12 months prior Footnote ii
It’s not just the same for everybody
Some groups are more likely to experience GBV, including

Indigenous women

16x more likely for Indigenous women to be murdered or missing than white womenFootnote vi
non-heterosexual people

67% of LGB+ wome…

I never really concerned myself with her in the past.
However, she has married a MAGA supporter, after making billions off of duping mainly liberal, white feminists.
One of her main marketing tactics was being pro-women and pro-LGBTQ. You cannot be that while having sex with/marrying a Trump supporter.
How does this tie into 4b?
She teaches women that it's ok to subvert everything you stood for, in exchange for attention from a man that supports legislation that literally harms/kills women.
However, she still has her "feminist" roots, so people associate feminism with women that have no true sense of self, or that won't actually take the actions to stand for what they believe in.
I know 4b and feminism are not one in the same, but she is throwing a HUGE wrench in preventing women from actually taking tangible, logical steps in order to not bow down to those that are oppressing us. I also feel like (non-performative) feminism is the main segway into 4b.
Maybe the possible progression could look something like: performative feminism → non-performative feminism →> 4b.
Still, after all of this, many self-proclaimed feminists and pro-women women adore her. What????
