In "Stop Telling Women To Smile" by Tatyana Fazializadeh uses her arresting street art portraits to explore how women experience hostility in communities that are supposed to be
homes.She addresses the pervasiveness of
street harassment,it's effects and the kind of activism that can serve to counter it.
The result is a cathartic recognizing with the aggression women endure,and an examination
of what equality truly entails
"It was my first in-person chess competition, and I was full of optimism. I faced a severe-looking child who wore a food-stained sweatshirt emblazoned with a cartoon penguin." @robaeprice for Business Insider
"Stormy Daniels has reminded us of what a disgusting misogynistic creep Donald Trump is: unable to control his carnal impulses, eager to exploit his power and influence and wealth to procure sex, devoid of shame or guilt or remorse, incapable of fidelity, focused completely on his own sexual satiety, and totally fine about said sexual satiety being generated by violent means."
"A quarter of the way through the 21st century, a predilection towards sexual misconduct and misogyny is practically a BFOQ of a Republican politician. The party of trickle-down economics and tax cuts for gazillionaires has long been the party of plunder. As long as Donald Trump is its leader, it will also be the party of rape."
Domestic violence is now top of the political agenda in Australia. This comes in the wake of a multiple fatal stabbing and protests that followed. Five women were among six people stabbed to death in a shopping mall in Sydney last month. There have been protests during the past week against the rise in violence against #women in Australia. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is calling it a national crisis. Tom Canetti with more. #Australia#Misogyny#Femicide
By compelling women through legal process to provide information under oath about how they obtained their #abortion, and then using that information to sue the out-of-state #abortionProvider. This serves the dual purpose of harassing and humiliating the person who chose to get an abortion, while threatening abortion providers in states where it’s legal.
In other words, it’s a perfect example of the rank #misogyny at the heart of the #forcedBirth movement.
The Far Right’s Campaign to Explode the Population >>
"The threat, we are told here this weekend, is existential, #biological, epoch-defining. Economies will fail, #civilizations will fall, and it will all happen because people aren’t having enough #babies.
“The entire global #financial system, the value of your money, and every #asset you might buy with money is defined by leverage, which means its value depends on growth...." >>
>> ...And to ensure that these #children grow up to be adults who understand their #proper place in both the #family and the larger #social order, we need to oust #women from the workforce and reinstitute #male-only spaces “where women are #disadvantaged as a result,” shampoo magnate and aspiring warlord Charles Haywood says, prompting cheers from the #men in the audience."
So unsurprising how conservative commentary about declining birth rates inevitably leads to #racism and #misogyny 🤷🏻♀️🙄
Trump, at a rally in Waukesha, #Wisconsin, called for tougher action against campus protests & again suggested some of the protesters were paid actors. He called on college presidents to “remove the encampments immediately, vanquish the locals & take back our campuses for all of the normal students.”
Speaking at a campaign event in #Wisconsin on Wed, #Trump derided the #protesters as “raging lunatics & Hamas sympathizers," & called on #Biden to “speak out” — accusing him of being “definitely against #Israel.”
Trump also took aim at #Columbia’s president, Minouche Shafik….
“The person that heads it up — a woman — she waited so long. She was so weak. She was so afraid. She was so bad.”
On the face of it, it's a good thing that #Sting, Fry, et al. are threatening to resign from the #GarrickClub unless members vote to admit women. They say the scandal is jeopardizing their relations with female colleagues.
But if you ask me, joining a men’s-only club is an inherently misogynistic act. So the real question is, if these Important Artists were so worried about their relationships with women, why would they join Garrick in the first place?
“A 'crisis of male violence': It also exposed a continuing hostility to women in the broader Australian community which, in memorable historic moments of national controversy, has seen women too eagerly cast as liars, whatever the nature of the issue that has brought them to public attention.” #misogyny https://aus.social/@cheryanne/112302335665561535
Good news! A New South Wales Liberal MP has been expelled from the state division after a confidential complaint, that accused him of sending expletive-laden text messages to a female federal party figure, was upheld. | ABC News #misogyny@aupol
Love when Instagram refreshes right after I post yet again about the seething hypocrisy, #sexism, #misogyny and #transphobia of all the mainstream social media platforms and US legislation banning "female nipples" as "sexually explicit nudity" while "male nipples" aren't and LITERALLY THE FIRST POST TO SHOW is some YouTube dude I follow posting a topless "fitness update" 🙃 Fuck the #patriarchy, and if you consider yourself #progressive, please notice and speak the fuck up about the insanity of #gender based #censorship. I'm tired of feeling so alone.
Here's a photo of my p*ssy to please encourage everyone to speak out more about the blatant hypocrisy of #genderDiscrimination in how the #patriarchy categorizes the chests of "people who look female" as "seggsually ekspleeseet newdeetay" while placing no such restrictions against "people who look male."
This episode of Everyday Misogyny is brought to you by academia.
Needless to say there's nothing remotely surprising or decent about his "proposal". 🤬
"How do you expect me to concentrate on what a respected academic is saying when she's got her hair down?"
"Impossible to tell whether she's Irish or Chinese because of course it's impossible that she could be both."
Every last word of this article is revolting.
