That is why when the IOF or any western/European government tries to weaponize feminism in order to further it's settler-colonial agenda you must ALWAYS be wary and resist their narratives. I don't speak on behalf of all feminists -but on this right here -there is NOTHING empowering about women in the IOF military committing genocide and war crimes -these women are FULL participants in the mass ethnic cleansing and displacement of Palestinian people and they must be held accountable.

The Islamic Republic: we canceled the morality police!

Iranians: so?! Does that change the fact that you have committed genocide in Kurdish cities and Zahedan? Does that restore people's eyesight that you took from them with your rubble bullets? Does that bring back to life almost 500 murdered protesters in the last 3 months, among them at least 60 children? Does that bring back to life 1500 people you massacred in 2019 and those you executed afterwards? Or the 30000 people you executed in the first decade of your rule? And everyone you've arrested, raped, tortured and executed in between simply because they didn't agree with you? Does that mean current executions are stopped? Does that mean tens of thousands of arrested protesters are free? Does that mean fired or suspended students are back to classes and can get an education? Does that mean the poverty threshold is no longer so absolutely high that even the once above average families are considered absolutely poor? Does that erase 40 years of apartheid? State racism? State misogyny? Inequality? Have you stopped bothering religious minorities and are giving them their basic human rights back? Does that mean there's no more child marriages? Legal rape? Does that mean you no longer kill and torture LGBTQ people? Does that make up for the environmental disaster you've caused in Iran? Water shortage? Bewildering fuel shortage? All the lakes and water bodies that are dry now and the jungles that has been destroyed? Currently northern jungles are on fire, are the trees restored? Does that mean you no longer execute environmental activists because they object your unscientific environment policies? Does that mean all censorships and restrictions are lifted? Does that end your meddling in other countries affairs? Does it mean you're not a bunch of thieves and murderers who know nothing about running a country? Does that make up for all the lives you've destroyed? And most importantly does that bring Mahsa Amini back to life???

It's too late for that. Iranians have been loud and clear. We won't sit down until this regime is completely and irreversibly changed. The whole government system, the constitution, and the people in powers. And those who committed crimes have to be put on trial.

(The morality police have been around under different names for almost the entirety of this regime. This is just a temporary stop. Even if the morality police is disbanded for good, compulsory hijab is still a law and it's illegal to not wear appropriate clothing. Any police force is able to arrest non hijabis since they're doing something illegal, it's not an exclusive morality police duty. Plus the morality police was just enforcing hijab in the streets. What about every governmental and private offices and institutions? They all have to enforce mandatory hijab on both their employees and costumers So this news means literally nothing. West media should research these things better before publishing misleading informations)

I strongly recommend everyone to go to #MahsaAmini in twitter and read iranians tweets. Like, I strongly recommend it. I even put the link to make it easier for you. Just click on it.

🗣️ Pay very close attention!

Please forget, for a moment, that many people live in the intersection of simultaneously being Black + LGBTQ + refugee + Asian. Instead, I am asking you to look at how the Republican culture wars are pitting one identity against the other.

DeSantis has banned any mention of Gay and Trans people, Black Lives Matter, George Floyd, Critical Race Theory, and much more… but now he is mandating Asian American history.

Florida and other Republican controlled legislators around the country are whitewashing and erasing Black history from school history textbooks, while also making Asian history a requirement. ⁉️

Please be just a little bit curious.

You must ask yourself, why?

WHY would an abjectly racist politician ban one culture’s history, but require another’s?

DeSantis is playing Asian people, the “model minority,” against—in his eyes—all of the “less desirable” minorities: Black people, Lgbtq+ people, etc. etc. etc. It’s a classic divide and conquer strategy.

Please see his ploy for what it is. We are all stronger together. Republicans know this. It’s why they’re working so hard to drive wedges between us.

Don’t fall for the okie doke.

"The most difficult women are the angry ones. The ones who refuse to “let it go,” think happy thoughts, or eat their feelings. For reasons I will never understand, men are given a free pass when it comes to anger. But women are expected to figure out a way of disposing of theirs, as though it were a dirty diaper."

I used to think there was something wrong w me that I like wearing clothes more than being naked, even during sex. But it turns out I hekkin luv clothes bc you can say stuff w them. For instance, this outfit says "Rogues for Palestine"

[thepeopleinpower]

Zionist and pro-Israel blogs to block! Feel free and encouraged to add any more that you know of and I’ll add them to the original post, especially blogs that reblog and add their shitty ignorant misinformed Zionist rhetoric to pro-Palestine or anti-genocide posts.

@/kittiearie on tiktok wrote this caption on her video: "When the sundown sisters' feminism is being upset Margot Robbie wasn't nominated for an Oscar but silent on how women and girls in Palestine don't have access to pads, tampons, contraceptive pills and other hygeine products while mothers are having their children without anesthetics."

some of white western feminist advocacy boils down to viewing issues (problematically so) as one-dimensional. their praxis never includes reflexivity, accountability, and intersectionality; while they ensure that their OWN reproductive health rights are never threatened, they vastly ignore so many people suffering in the world just because it doesn't directly impact them -looking at their priorities is just always so shameless and despicable.

The True Meaning of Pride

please; don’t let the cops in or the cats out.

“but what if HRT is making trans disabled peoples conditions worse??” Idk what if a cis abled person consumed alcohol? Or hit a vape? Or never ate veggies? Would you butt in and be condescending about that too?

Are you disabled? HRT user? no?? Cool then stfu and stop trying to disguise your ignorance and prejudice as concern

"This new vision of sexuality didn’t promote any meaningful sort of gender equality. The ideal woman was still seen as nondemanding and compliant; the only real difference was that she was now eager to have uncommitted sex. Still, Playboy billed itself as a symbol of freedom for everyone, and Hefner thought of himself not as a creep (which he was) but as a radical and even a feminist. “My naked girls,” Hefner later said, were “a symbol of disobedience, a triumph of sexuality, an end of Puritanism.”"

sorry to get personal again today, but i got sick yesterday and since i'm unable to go the the women's march i today i will be screaming here

I know today is International Women's Day and for a lot of people it's a day of celebration and conmemoration and that's okay, it is important to remember and honor those who fought before us

But in you live in Latin America, then you know that today is not really a celebration. It is almost a day of collective grief for all us. Especially everyone who has lost a a sister, wife, aunt, friend, etc to murder or disappearance

10 to 11 women dissapear in my country ( Mexico) everyday

10 to 11 every fucking day

remember those fucking numbers because i sure do every day i wake up

10 TO 11

And in Mexico the goverment cares so little that it has provided basically zero help to stop this violence.

It's the very same people who grieve their loved ones who have had to organize themselves so they are able to get answers about what happened to their lost ones.

The Madres Buscadoras are a collective who searches mass graves all throughout the country in hopes that they can find the remians of their loved ones.

Imagine having to dig the bones and remains of your wife, your sister or your friend with your own hands because the police refused to do anything to help you

and the worse thing is that even the madres buscadoras have disappeared while searching their loved ones because they want to keep them quiet, they don't want them and us to know what happened

where is the justice in that ?!?!?!?

I'm so fucking tired of feeling this horrible pressure in chest everytime my mom or sister go out alone and the only thing i can do is pray and pray they get home safely

i'm tired of having to turn on my location and take a picture of my outfit every time i go out because if i dissapear those will be the only references my family will have of me

i'm tired of listening to how many of us have been killed or assaulted everyday on the news because everyday you hear of a new case

i'm tired of the violence and injustice against little girls

i'm tired of the violence and injustice against my trans sisters ( unsurprisingly Mexico is only the second most dangerous country to be transgender)

im tired of people who think marching, burning and vandalising monuments is not an appropriate way to protest because they rather defend a monument than our bodies

I'M JUST SO FUCKIN TIRED AND ANGRY BECAUSE OF HOW THEY HAVE TAKEN OUR RIGHT TO EXIST IN PEACE

i don't know what else to say, except that i really hope one day the international community talks about this more, especially all the gringos who have come to gentrify our country here and never show you this side of mexico

i will leave you the links for a movie and documentary you can see on netflix about the raw reality of women who dissapear on Mexico

Las Tres Muertes de Marisela Escobedo

documentary about Marisela Escobedo, a mother who searched for her missing daughter and was killed for it

Ruido by Natalia Beristain

movie about a grieving mother searching for her missing daughter who finds a network of support as she connects with other women whose lives have also been disrupted by violence

finally i leave you cancion sin miedo 💚💜
