Feminist Love Notes

Loving feminist critique notes on being a problematic #Afrofeminist in #EastAfrica

[Feminist Love Notes @FemmeLoveNotes]

Feminism is equality
Feminism is pro Black
Feminism is always queer
Feminism is decolonial

Feminism a working definition.

I do believe on some level of you are that male-centered you're not just defending the men, but your very identity.

So someone telling you otherwise, feels more personal an attack than just an attack on men around.

The number of cases are rising and we need stricter regulations on the sale and availability of acids.

We will be delivering our statement to the various authorities on Friday as we cannot sit and watch as acid attacks become normalized.

There's a new and extremely worrying trend. The use of corrosive acid to harm and victims. We have a current case where a victim was raped and acid poured on her private parts.

In South Asia where acid is cheap and freely available these attacks are rampart.

Me and my colleagues are hosting this on Saturday.

A small gathering to think about privatisation, its consequences and what our world can look like beyond it.

The potluck is intended as a small practice of collective contribution. We encourage you to bring something small for a shared table if you’re able to (snacks, fruits, light homemade food, or anything simple you’d like to share).

Random thought does @blanketsandwine have offices?

[#OromoProtests @SeiseBagbo]

The fact that all those men around him laughed with him and didn't jump him is where this conversation needs to start.

Abusers have never lacked community.

Calling me a "radical feminist" for calling a man (who is on video btw) a paedophile because he said he'd defile & impregnate school going girls is not the insult that you think it is.

JINGA 🖕

[Mumbi. @miss_mumbzk]

To me the primary issue here is the state is not treating this like social housing and is therefore not taking on a maintenance roll. This is why predominantly buy ama rent to own doesn’t work for a project they allege is for those who are living in low quality housing.

[Mitteiy @mitteiy]

(Btw this is how we create a real estate market that says oxymoronic things like "luxury bedsitter")

[Mumbi. @miss_mumbzk]

We don’t trust the police with anything - not cars, not protesters - but as soon as it gets to sexual violence it’s “go report”.

:(

[Mitteiy @mitteiy]

(and the process of reporting in unsafe and unkind for a lot of victims)

[Tallulah @iluvphatcooter]

Much much happier now :)

Different salaries should only affect how luxurious your life is, not your food quality or ability to afford rent. If you work 40 hours at any job, your income should be enough to live in the town you work in. Thinking otherwise is an abysmal indicator of your humanity.
