@madtranny I think the fact they don't make this connection immediately points to people who have not engaged with the study of sexual abuse as its own thing, but rather people trying to force frameworks derived from separate crime/social issues onto sexual abuse.
"carceral" is almost always used as an synonym for "sinful" by people who then turn around and act like they're rebelling against a totally nonexistent tradition of punishing rapists. "punishing doesn't work" punishment is never applied!!!!
like oh you think getting the authorities involved is bad & you can just handle it internally as a community? you think forgiveness is the most important thing & pressure the victim to forgive?? you allow abusers to simply move from community 2 community continuing their abuse???
hey so can we talk about how similar these conservative patriarchal churches' approach to sexual violence is to the approach advocated and practiced by ultra-left abolitionists?
If I were to cite examples of impoverished white Westerners (citizens of the deep American south) and compare them to the elite of Dubai to demean criticism of Western hegemony as "shallow," I would be rightfully crucified. But this is the go-to argument against feminism.
@RadfemOwl@madtranny Steadily, I've been seeing more and more excuses for dismissing women of color or from the global south. And it has corresponded with these women more loudly refusing to allow others to paint them as happy with their local patriarchy and weaponize them against feminists anymore.
@RadfemOwl@madtranny I've noticed that there's been a shift in this. Antifeminism used to, and still often does, cloak itself in antiracism, claiming that only white women care about it. But since more Eastern women of color are speaking out, there's more negativity turning against them.
Spare me the popped pearls about "radicalized" girls after a decade of sexual terrorism ushered in by radicalized boys & the adults in these young ppl's lives. They aren't concerned for girls & young women as ppl & never were. They're just worried they'll lose access to victims.
@DavidGoesPlaces@JessPected Note that barista is a job traditionally associated with women, urbanism, and "effete" liberals. Frankly, a lot of these new male "leftists" are just former Republicans who retain many of their old social prejudices and worldviews.
"Leftist" misogynistic men are so funny to me because what do you mean your politics are dismantling a hierarchy for exploitation but you're anti-feminism? You're not a leftist, you're a broke opportunist who'd sell the person next to you for a higher position on the ladder.

almost every social issue eventually collapses into a class issue. an upper middle class woman is far more privileged than a poor man in this country. this is also pakistani feminism’s biggest blind spot because the movement has been hijacked by a bunch with no skin in the game.

Honey, the American leftists are mad that brown people had the audacity to ruin their Orientalist fantasies by saying their cultures aren't perfect and that social conservatism is unpleasant and bad actually, again.
I get really angry when I see those “queering the map” screenshots which are allegedly from Gaza because most of those are *obviously* fictional creative writing exercises done by teenagers in the US and Europe and I find that morally despicable
@nnnnnnxox Note, not that they simply didn't like it (which would be valid), but that the way it portrayed these stories was *wrong* and not simply that person's personal interpretation of them. I learned much later on that they just hated being contradicted or challenged on anything.
There's a type of person, I think, who you can just tell got way too used to being the only member of a minority in their mostly- majority, left-aspiring friend group, and simultaneously babied and treated like an infallible authority for it.
@nnnnnnxox I remember they were trashing a fantasy book inspired by the lore of their religion, insisting that it was "all wrong," even though the book was written by another member of that religion (and both were raised in America). 🫤 Bit of a red flag I overlooked at the time.
@Methodios007@Kaiju_Loser You gave an obviously shit ass source designed to cater to white Western Christians who already want to feel oppressed.
