I hate when cismen are like “imagine if the roles were reversed” when women do something harmful
Like you can tell their recent the protections that women get. The roles can never be reversed bc institutional and systemic power is on your side
Stop being jealous loser

I spend so much time thinking about how rapists and abusers (agents of patriarchy) control carceral systems: foster care, ICE, prisons, asylums and get a whole new slate of victims to torture
Yet carceral feminist continue to imagine prison as a potential ally against patriarchy

What a fuckin joke
Traore has literally acquiesced to the hunting and death of sexual minorities by assenting to an anti LGBTQ law, which can be challenged by organization of ppl (which he’s essentially banned)
Enough with the hero worship!
Booker Ngesa Omole ☭@BookerBiro
There is nothing inherently wrong with Traoré banning NGOs and civil society organisations. These reactionary organisations are, by their very nature, anti people.

Poor men can barely access families. Which means they can barely utilize the power imbued in the authoritarian nuclear family organization
They don’t have capital, they barely have leverage
They mostly just have their bodies, and are the first to be disposed by the state
English
Poor men are mere foot soldiers for patriarchal violence.
Sure they’re violent, but they’re nothing compared to classed men who are more powerful and better able to wield the entire patriarchal apparatus
It is prejudice and bias that makes us focus on impoverished men
juan crow@twinkletweetu
it’s not just “hoodlums”. These women were successful, upper-classed and had shelves lined with accolades. They were privileged. Patriarchal violence is not just a poor woman’s problem.
English
This is attempted rape with physical brutality as means of coercion.
This is the what the familial structure authorizes. Under cishetero patriarchy, women are mandated to make our bodies sexually available for men’s pleasure.

🚨 INCIDENT: A woman says her husband assaulted her after she refused sex following a 10-hour work shift. She explained that she was too exhausted, but he allegedly responded with slaps and punches instead of understanding.

Free West Papua
Children slaughtered and massacres by Indonesia!! And they dare condemn Israel
Benny Wenda@BennyWenda
''I also call on actors within the international community, particularly the Pacific, to do more to pressure Indonesia to open West Papua to the eyes of the world. The demand for a UN visit is needed, but what further action will you take, now Indonesia has made it clear they have no intention of facilitating such a visit? Will you refuse to deal with Indonesia, to trade with them or sign bilateral agreements, until the UN is allowed access? Will the MSG expel Indonesia for murdering Melanesians? I call for real action: action that Indonesia cannot ignore. While the world delays, West Papuans die.' @MsgSecretariat @MsgSecretariat @UNHumanRights @UN ulmwp.org/president-wend…

Y’all…. Loool
If we don’t organize against prisons, we won’t make it
National Homelessness Law Center@homeless_law
BREAKING: Louisiana has advanced one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country. It would force homeless people to choose between jail and involuntary treatment, make them pay for it, and if they can't pay, force them to perform unpaid labor. housingnothandcuffs.org/2026/04/16/sta…

Reproductive violence at the hands of the carceral state
This violence is part of an ongoing genocide against Black ppl
BreakThrough News@BTnewsroom
"They killed my son. They shot him multiple times in the head." IL police shot and killed 24-year-old Black man Jalen Carpenter in Chicago Wednesday night. His father believes it was an "assassination."

So burning down a warehouse where no one is hurt is “violence,” but a system that sees approximately six unhoused people die everyday in LA County alone isn’t. Got it.

Erin Marie Cowser, a 17-year-old high school girl from California, was committing no crime when a cop grabbed her from behind and body slammed her to the ground, leaving her with a concussion, traumatic brain injury and several lacerations to her face. atlantablackstar.com/2026/04/14/vid…

It comes from familial authoritarianism
Who gets to control and own the child (the property)
Parents , grand parents and other adults get into power contestations over children bc families are intimate sites of authority
Libra Barbie@LenValyrian
Grandparents take their kid’s enforcement of the grandchild’s dietary restrictions/allergies as direct challenge. It’s really odd
English
They’re also lying
As bell hooks said having daughters isn’t revolutionary.
Slave masters sired Black daughters 🤷🏾♀️
Robert Schultz@_RobertSchultz
guys with daughters love to say stuff like “becoming a girl dad has made me start looking at women as real human beings who deserve rights” and it’s like, that’s cool, but how exactly were you looking at women before?
