so much discourse could be avoided if people understood that being marginalized in one way doesn't prevent you from being privileged in another way and vice versa

@NaijaRadFems @bbonjourkitty I love this idea that all men are inherently oppressing all women. Please tell me how the Palestinian man in Gaza is oppressing the zionist Israeli woman? Do caste systems not exist? Apparently all women are made the same in a vacuum and should all be allies.

@NaijaRadFems @bbonjourkitty Feminism is not "women's" movement and if you think its exclusive then you are not a feminist, youre just another kind of supremacist who refuses to hold up a mirror.

“Woman first” ideology is extremely popular amongst upper caste women in the Global South
I don’t want to minimize the cruelty and violence of patriarchy at all
But you have to remember, we grew up with slaves(domestic workers) so we generally have ZERO class consciousness

What specifically should they do to offset the issue. Have less power? Donate to some paypal? This kind of "speak up" wishwash has never solved anything in decades, and it seems nobody has real solutions to privilege other than morally judging others.

If you're a white trans women you hold power over trans women of color. The first step is recognizing it and the second step is speaking up about it and doing what you can to offset it. But we can't start step one if you refuse to acknowledge that you can and do, myself included.

some of you are more worried about potentially traumatizing a multimillionaire pop star who has access to the highest level of care than the thousands of vulnerable kids who will and have already been affected her dangerous promotion of frailty and thinness

@PrettyinPunkxXx @TheBdNv3stments So no, you cannot compress decades of complex afghan history into a pretty little talking point to shift all blame to “the west” and omit agency of afghan actors, pakistans role, regional dynamics, and talibans own responsibility for their policies.

I’m so haunted by male evil. Everyday I think about that video of the US soldier bragging about pimping out a 15 y.o. Afghan girl for $50, how relaxed he was when he said they made 500 bucks before she hung herself.

@summerheadiro @TheBdNv3stments Thats a historical reality and you are a fucking idiot if you cant see how the west is responsible for what is happening to Afghan women. the west used them as cynical talking points, exploited them, abused them and then left to them to the woves once enough wealth was extracted

@PrettyinPunkxXx @TheBdNv3stments Hate to break your fantasy, but “western imperialist evil” doesn’t hold a candle to the gov endorsed enslavement of afghan women taking place today.
English
@summerheadiro @TheBdNv3stments Its the direct fault of western imperialism. Do we not remember who financially supported the Mujahideen during the Cold War? Who was it that spent decades guarding fucking poppy fields after they invaded and then fucked off and left the Afghan people to the mercy of the Taliban?

@AfroSon13 @TheBdNv3stments Things Israeli women soldiers do tho Palestinians...
English
@TheBdNv3stments This isn't male evil, this is just standard military evil. There are very graphic descriptions out there of how female American soldiers would rape, humiliate and sexually torture afghan men for fun
