Natasha Jay 🇪🇺<p>RFI 🇫🇷: On Brigitte Macron: 'Centuries of patriarchal history': why trans rumours are wielded against women</p><p>"We have inherited centuries of patriarchal history. Women who have attained a certain degree of power, however relative, have always been portrayed as unnatural, masculine women – masculinised by the power that they desired or that was attributed to them.</p><p>This is a way of reminding everyone at all times that in a patriarchal system, the roles assigned to each sex must be respected and that any deviation will be punished by public condemnation."</p><p><a href="https://www.rfi.fr/en/france/20251109-centuries-of-patriarchal-history-why-trans-rumours-are-wielded-against-women" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">rfi.fr/en/france/20251109-cent</span><span class="invisible">uries-of-patriarchal-history-why-trans-rumours-are-wielded-against-women</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Feminism</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Patriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Patriarchy</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trans</span></a></p>
Zivan - Childless Cat Guy<p>I've finished: The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix</p><p>Narrated by the wonderful Bahni Turpin</p><p> I thought I was getting a new angle on the vampire trope, I got so much more. </p><p>The Southern Book Club's Guide isn't a fantasy where the protagonists are gifted the tools they need to beat the evil power. </p><p>It is about a group of housewives, with the their talents, background and idiosyncrasies facing a malevolent supernatural force while hampered by their marginalized position in society. </p><p>The Southern Book Club's Guide placed most other fantasy I've read in perspective. The fantasy isn't just about the worlds the stories take place in. It is that these worlds also contain the special powers necessary to win the day. </p><p>This isn't escapism, it's realism and it hit me hard.

:autism: Aurin (ki, ki, kis)<p>One of the insidious things of rape culture is how even genuine allies, subconsciously, see us victims as burdens. We see ourselves that way anyway.</p><p>But we're not burdens. We're not a problem you have to deal with when we disclose the rapist's crimes. That's how the rapists see us.</p><p>Yes, they are that distorted in their thinking. It stems from their incredible entitlement, not confusion or mental illness. They exploit our emotional and physical labour, rip us off financially, parade us around to dress up THEIR public image (that's part of why abusers tend to be well liked) and whatever else they can think of. They use our bodies.</p><p>But we're BURDENS?! We're raw materials to them.</p><p>And we're pillars of our communities. We're fucked up and traumatised from what rapists and enablers do to us, but that doesn't mean we're weak or passive or more needy than giving.</p><p>Quite the contrary. A lot of us - and this is by no means universal and it SHOULDN'T BE - but a lot of us overcompensate against internal and external feelings/accusations of lazyness, stupidity and burdenhood by being extra helpful and undemanding. We're used to giving without taking.</p><p>It's hard to shake that. But on the other side lies a world of mutual aid and compassion and friendships that are built on actual equality and that are therefore even more fruitful than our previous efforts.</p><p>As communities and people, we can break the ball and chain that is rape, that is currently holding us back and making every move so much harder than it needs to be. </p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/RapeCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RapeCulture</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>feminism</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/AbuseSurvivor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbuseSurvivor</span></a></p>
:autism: Aurin (ki, ki, kis)<p>OK other things I can think of, none of which substitute KICKING RAPISTS OUT:</p><p>Stop silencing and blaming victims/survivors. </p><p>Go out of your way to support victims/survivors speaking up. This is gonna be invaluable to YOU too. It's ok to be selfish enough that you're gonna actively support your best allies. </p><p>Abuse survivors are your best allies because they know how abusers work and how to survive that. </p><p>Learn about common abuse and manipulation tactics and their underlying beliefs, attitudes and worldviews. These have striking commonalities between domestic abusers, corrupt fossil fuel companies, oppressive governments, fascists, religious fundamentalists, scammers and police. So it's important to know about that stuff to have an impact as a climate justice movement ANYWAY. </p><p>Make rapists afraid. </p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbuseCulture</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/RapeCuture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RapeCuture</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>feminism</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateJustice</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/antifa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>antifa</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/acab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>acab</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/MakeRapistsAfraidAgain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MakeRapistsAfraidAgain</span></a></p>

Why? Not because our children are not wonderful and precious and a joy. But because it is not feasible without a lot of pain to bring them up. Especially when the family leans towards neurodivergence .And that pain will be mostly on the mothers part. And, depending on how well I over-exploit myself without ever allowing my anger to bleed into my relationship with my child, and and how lucky or privileged I may be, also on the childs part. If you want to know why, read her long thread or the article. <br>our childcare and education systems are not equipped for our divergent children. The multitude of needs and the uphill battle to meet them despite no support rests largely with women. It puts you at great risk of poverty and/or dependency. Which often translates into insecurity, stress and humiliation in the personal experience. And no matter how much you resist putting any of the weight you carry onto your child, - They will know. At some point the lovebubble you strive to hold them in will be dented. And when it bursts, it will be a lot of work to not despair and make it about you failing , but to understand the battle you have been fighting as a battle of all women, all mothers and all parents of autistic children.<br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@autistics" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>autistics</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>feminism</span></a></p>
