@clayrivers So many people have no idea of all the devious ways White patriarchy has its thumb on the scales of Social Justice. #Patriarchy #Racism #BlackMastodon
"The unit is engaged in the same kind of AI work that the world’s biggest tech companies, like Google, Facebook and China’s Baidu are doing in a race to apply machine learning to such functions as self-driving cars, analysis of salespeople’s telephone pitches and cybersecurity — or to fight Israel’s next war more intelligently."
“I’ve always loved algorithms. I was already involved with them in high school and worked in the field. When I [was] drafted I wanted to combine the technology with a combat,” Maj. Sefi Cohen, 34, recalls.
The unit’s only female member left recently. so for the moment it’s an all-male team. Cohen says: “Everyone who’s here is the tops.”

"His most recent book (2010), Healing Civilization: Bringing Personal Transformation into the Societal Realm through Education and the Integration of the Intra-Psychic Family, is both a continuation of and a turning point in Naranjo's lifelong work. In this book, with a foreword by Jean Houston, Naranjo explored what he saw as the root cause of the destruction of human civilization (as evidenced in the 2000s (decade) as war, violence, oppression of women, child abuse, environmental endangerment, etc.) — #patriarchy — and brought both the problem and the solution home to an intra-psychic level. Patriarchy, he said, has taken root over millennia in the workings of our own conditioned minds. He also offered a remedy, which derives from the work of Tótila Albert regarding the "triune" being of our nature: the "Inner Father" (corresponding to the head), the "Inner Mother" (corresponding to the heart), and the "Inner Child" (corresponding to the instincts). As people learn to integrate these three "brains", Naranjo believed, they may bring about a functional, even divine, family within. And this, he believed, in addition to transforming education oriented to personal and collective evolution, could bring about the healing of civilization."
Victims can become perpetrators, and restraint is the only hope, the only way to break the cycle. What will you pass on?

"Even after brothels were banned in metropolitan France in 1946, French military authorities illegally brought hundreds of Moroccan women to France to work in ‘Bordels militaires de campagne’ because of the Moroccan soldiers still present in the metropole. With poor living conditions, underage labour and a high workload, French military brothels exploited Moroccan women to theoretically ‘protect’ European women against sexual violence from Moroccan men."

"The number of women dying every year at the hands of their husbands and partners in the Russian Federation is roughly equal to the total number of Soviet soldiers killed in the 10-year war in Afghanistan.”
#Patriarchy in Russia is murderous and directed not only against women but #LGBT and any deviation fromt the traditional role model of heteronormativity. It's one example of femicides worldwide. Women's liberation isn't done, globally it has just begun

"In the family [man] is the bourgeois, the woman represents the proletariat." On Friedrich Engels' birthday Lady Izdihar looks at his work "The Origin of the Family" which explains how the women's liberation and anti-capitalist struggles are intertwined.
"young women in Stepford, Massachusetts are increasingly struggling to find suitable male partners who don’t want to have them abducted & replaced with a programmed simulacrum that will tend to their husbands’ every whim.
Men, meanwhile, are increasingly struggling with... a rapidly shrinking population of young females still willing to vanish forever and be replaced by an animatronic that has no hopes or dreams"

if your #feminism isn't a bit "on the nose", you're not doing it right.
after all: where else would a practical critique of #patriarchy go than on the nose, possibly backed up by a golfball in your hand.
inspired by lisbeth salander.
Though international media aren't paying attention, last Saturday saw 500k people on the street to join the feminist cause to end the violence against women, and all other people the #patriarchy keeps hurting, everyday, everywhere, all the time.
**WOMEN AT FAULT FOR POLITICAL DIVIDE: MARRY A MAGA MAN!**
Ridiculous concern trolling by *The Washington Post's* editors, too cowardly to put a byline for the author, really showcases how #incel grievance has become normalized.
They argue *someone will have to compromise *(meaning women) or else marriage rates will tumble. I think women may have already found their own alternative.🤔

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Just the fact that we need such day is a sad evidence of the dire state of our society.
At the dawn of another murder of a young woman in Italy, my head has been reflecting a lot about ‘monsters’ and ‘patriarchy’. I’ll be posting it during the weekend. For a little glimpse on what to expect, here my yesterday’s thread

#25November is tomorrow. I could have been that corpse, and I could have been (and per solidarity I am) that grieving sister.
When you embrace the feminist fight because of the International Day, try to pause a moment to realise that this is a constant fight. Patriarchy is everywhere, every time, all at once.
You can teach your daughter to run away from monsters, but there are no monsters, only healthy sons of the #patriarchy : they are everywhere, even inside their fathers.
Tomorrow is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. This week, in Italy, the corpse of a 22-years-old woman, Giulia Cecchettin, likely murdered by her ex-boyfriend, after a video showed him violently assaulting and forcing her (still alive) in the car.
Giulia's sister, to headlines describing the him as a monster, answered: 'He's not a monster. He's a healthy son of the #patriarchy'.
Italian men from all spheres didn't like it.
A married woman’s residential status should not be viewed through a patriarchal prism, says Madras HC
Though a married woman ordinarily lives at her husband’s place, she cannot be presumed to have disowned her residential rights at her parents’ house on account of her marriage. The rules of marriage do not impose any such condition on a woman, and therefore, she can gain public employment by claiming to be a resident of her native village, the Madras High Court has said.

Well, how nice. I found my official divorce decree so the government will allow me my name back.
Welcome to the world of being female.
Whenever I enter a phrase using the French pronoun “son" out of context into #DeepL, it invariably spits out “his" as a translation, even though in French, it could be either his or her, depending on the context.
Yes, friends, if you plug the #patriarchy into your AI, it will spit the patriarchy right back in your face.
A bit more on #ShereHite and the new #documentary, #TheDisappearnceOfShereHite, directed by #NicoleNewnham (#director of #CripCamp) about #Shere's work and subsequent erasure by the terrified #patriarchy.
I recently played a game of Valorant where someone said I sounded hot. It was a few rounds in, not right away; it wasn't like I had just loaded in and someone was already thinking about my body. I wasn't put off by it, in fact I actually liked it. I smiled and said thanks.
Yesterday, I watched a Youtube video called something like "The Female Experience in Valorant Uncensored", which is a compilation of uncensored sexist and objectifying remarks a female Valorant player got in, like, a few weeks or months (I don't know the exact time frame, but when it was uploaded she was making videos like this every few months). It made me realize that unsolicited comments like that are (when directed at women) a form of patriarchal dominance. It's an expression of the way the patriarchy reduces women to simple sex objects which it's acceptable for anyone, even strangers, to desire. Even if I was into it, the average person wouldn't be, especially if they get catcalled regularly. Because I don't get catcalled, I didn't realize this, and ended up encouraging those "you sound hot" comments. That teammate of mine probably thinks it's okay to tell people they sound hot unprompted, in part because of me.
This is why, to be a good feminist as a non-woman, you have to actively listen to women. There are things that they understand that you don't because your lived experiences are so different. Unless you listen to those experiences, you risk encouraging misogynist behavior without realizing it. Sure, it's (to you, hopefully) common sense that catcalling women is bad, but if that's the extent of your knowledge, you won't see the ways you might be part of the problem. You can't "common sense" your way to good allyship.
No one is #safe until #trans #folks are #safe.

And I do think that what we need, as a society, more than anything, is new values. Our current conceptions of bravery, strength, assertiveness, charisma, or confidence are what got us here just as much as #capitalism, #WhiteSupremacy, #patriarchy, #queerphobia and #ableism did. We're stuck in a world that's still holding up those old values and we're forced to judge ourselves by them, even as we try to cultivate new values, values that will help us survive in a world of #Ecocide, #pandemics, and #fascism.
I'm trying to remember that, to judge myself by these new values rather than the old ones. I'm trying to remember that if someone is judging me by those old values, they're not someone who's worthy of my time or attention. They're not someone who's going to make it in the #apocalypse.

All of us can help #ShiftThePower away from #DirtyEnergy:
- Stop repeating their talking points & narratives (not sure which commonly-repeated tropes are part of their decades-long #ClimateDisinformation campaign? Never too late to learn)
- Stop voting for their paid representatives in parliament (typically found within both/most major parties). #DirtyEnergyDirtyPolitics #DirtyDonations #PutCorruptionLast
- Support actions happening near you (not sure what's happening or how to help? Search for your location & #ClimateAction #ClimateJustice).
- Learn more about why we're collectively still failing to implement (political/economic/societal/cultural) changes at a scale & pace commensurate with the scale & pace of the #ClimateCrisis (hint: too much power in too few hands: #plutocracy #colonialism #capitalism #patriarchy #individualism).
- Consider the stakes: life as we know it is incompatible with the public business plans of the most powerful corporations on the planet. One/both of those realities will definitely change. Will you?

Suppressing people that speak out on a climate march against the war in #Gaza reflects the desperate effort to stop the politization of the climate justice movement.

There's a difference between hate and rage. To fight for the world to be saved from #Climatechange #colonialism #patriarchy you need a momentum for mobilization. That's what's happening around the globe - people made powerless by the war machines of aggressive nations states feel the pain and show their anger
That's why governments fear mass manifestations - it's power from down below - the only way for the weak to make the masters of war stop and push for a less unjust world

Another quickly drawn #webcomic page idea. I could have drawn SO many more examples of what is considered a "newed" woman, all you need is so much as a centimeter of areeola showing, and suddenly it's "sheekshually expleesheet newdeetay", while the ONLY thing a MALE presenting person has to cover to be considered "clothed" is their actual jeanitalia. It's just the most blatant #sexism #misogyny #genderDiscrimination etc and it drives me nuts that so few people question or speak out about this.

In my November blog, "The Patriarchy Persists, Negatively Impacting Women’s Advancement at Work,” I discuss two 2023 reports; one on a global level encompassing 85% of the world’s population and one that targets nearly a quarter of a million U.S. faculty. Both reports show persistent gender bias that infects the attitudes and behaviors of both men and women. This gender bias holds women back from reaching their full potential.

[T]he gendering of design as women's work is why people don't use the title "web designer" anymore. It's been belittled and othered away. It's why we've split that web design role into two; now you're either a UX designer and you can sit at that table over there or you're a front-end developer and you can sit at the table with the people that build websites.

@holsta 🙂 Jokes aside, feminism isn't an attack on any individual men; it's an attack on the patriarchy system, which hurts people of all genders (though not equally or in the same way).
In its terror attack Hamas didn't target settler colonialists or ultraright fanatics but kibbutzim that are more liberal, leftist and interested in peace with Palestinians than the average Jewish citizens of Israel. That underwrites the fact that Hamas is not less than its Iranian supporters a force of the #religious #right, of #patriarchy and despotism. Palestinian #nationalism as its Israeli counterpart are to be overcome to put an end to this monstrous blodshed.

so if you'd like to help me try to convince new people (and someday far in the future, the platforms themselves) that enforcing different levels of censorship based on "what gender you look like" is absurd and blatantly sexist,
please consider widely sharing, reblogging, and posting your own reply content (or just shouting out my channel) to my own posts, to help me get out of the shadowban-void I'm constantly fighting against (when my content isn't banned outright, as happens almost daily)

Heard on the radio: "As the man, you want to be the fixer, the person who fixes things." Dear Patriarchy, we no longer live in the 1950s. #GenderRoles #Patriarchy
#youtube posted this ominous warning at the top of my studio: "Under our existing external links policy, violative URLs posted within the video itself or in the video's metadata (titles, descriptions, and tags) may result in the video being removed."
If you click "learn more," it takes you to their "external links policy," which is laughably vague, just like their in-general #communityGuidelines #violation page. You can read it yourself here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9054257?hl Note how they repeatedly say "this is not an exhaustive list," and there's no mention of nudity, only "pornography"--meaning it's up to that particular algorithm's programming bias what counts as "prawn" or not (to say nothing of the insanely blatant #misogynist and #sexist viewpoint within the #patriarchy that "female-looking nipples are 'nudity' but male nipples aren't" 🙃)
The absolutely wildest thing is, if youtube would just give me half the effin leeway that they do these many other accounts that post FULL BODY, FULLY UNCENSORED nudity, I wouldn't need to direct people anywhere else to see the "patriarchy-unapproved" version of my videos. Honestly, this is pretty crazy...I learned long ago not to post any kind of clickable link anywhere in a youtube description or comment (after getting #strikes for linking to my own website, and a twitter post of mine, and a tumblr post, and a link to a discord server intended to serve as a resource guide and community for intersex people...) but getting these threats that even just having the url to my site on my page can get a video banned.
If you're a #contentCreator or #influencer who only posts your content to Youtube, I highly encourage you to start packing now, and get your feet into some less-faschy alternative platforms--#Peertube is a great place to start (you can comment if you want me to try to direct you towards more specific resources). Because if you "keep all your eggs in one basket," you're going to end up with egg all over your face (and none left to survive off of) once capitalism kicks that basket out of your hands.
What are the traps of #patriarchy?
👰Marriage
🍼Childbirth
🚫💳Economic dependence
👫Compulsory heterosexuality
What are the far Right attacks targeting?
No fault divorce, anti-child marriage laws
Reproductive healthcare, autonomy & birth control
Workplace equity protections, wage reform
LGBTQI+ equality
Liberation demands escaping these traps.
So of course the Right is going to do what it can to protect those traps and stop white women from avoiding them.
(While WOC also exist under it, Patriarchy doesn't give a fig about WOC. We aren't the subjects that *matter.* Rather, we are lab rats so the control can really be refined.)
There is no protection under Patriarchy. Everything is control.
Sad, but...

something i always forget about this kind of long-running exploitation is just how many people it takes to facilitate 1 man's violence against countless people. sadly, this show is reminding me. and of course, a lot of those facilitators were women who were working in tv production & didn't want to lose their jobs. i doubt they were "bad people", but the entire machinery of capitalist patriarchy put people into these roles where they're facilitating injustices that they would never want to do themselves. it makes everyone a perpetrator.
anyway, if you're outside the UK, you can watch it here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8o4deh
“A young woman walks down a street in Tehran, her hair uncovered, her jeans ripped, a bit of midriff exposed to the hot Iranian sun. An unmarried couple walk hand in hand. A woman holds her head high when asked by Iran's once-feared morality police to put a hijab on, and tells them: ‘Screw you!’”

Zimmer asks when precisely that golden era of free speech for which centrists hanker for us to return was in place. He answers:
"Unless we are talking about wealthy white Christian men only, it makes little sense to construct a version of U.S. history in which previous eras were characterized by greater freedom while the very recent past has been marked by a loss of free speech."

"The frequently invoked 'consensus' of the post-World War II era, for instance, was depending on both major parties agreeing that white patriarchal rule would remain largely untouched. …
"It wasn’t a coincidence that 'polarization' started when one party broke with the white elite consensus and supported – albeit reluctantly – the civil rights revolution of the 1960s."

i'm all about questioning categories such as "weak" & "strong." 👍
@jensorensen great idea. It's the best way to get attention to anything and declare it worthy of time & money 🙄🙂 #patriarchy sucks.
It has been brought to my attention by a number of you that comparing the penis brains at the Spanish Football Federation to Neanderthals is patently unfair to Neanderthals.
I just wanted to state for the record that I agree wholeheartedly and apologise profusely for any offense caused to actual Neanderthals who, I’m sure, would have been appalled by the behaviour of the knuckle-draggers at the Spanish Football Federation.
Breaking: Neanderthals, once thought extinct, discovered at Spanish Football Federation.
