Hablar de "feministas" que explotan a mujeres vulnerables y compran bebés es como hablar de "veganos" que los fines de semana se meten un churrasco entre pecho y espalda.
Nuestra compañera @erikabastide nos lo explica bien clarito.
Obviamente, #NoSonFeministas.
No te puedes convertir en madre usando tu dinero, y no te puedes convertir en mujer pasando por el quirófano.
Basta ya de retorcer el lenguaje para que parezca que los deseos son derechos y que todo se puede comprar.
One more time.
#Adoption and #surrogacy are not the same thing.
In both cases, the child loses one or both biological parents.
But in adoption, the adults raising the child are seeking to mend the wound. In surrogacy, the adults raising the child have inflicted the wound.
Adoption is an institution centered around the best interests of the child.
Surrogacy is a marketplace centered around the desires of adults.
In adoption, adults do hard things on behalf of children.
In surrogacy, children do hard things on behalf of adults.
One supports children’s rights.
The other violates children’s rights.
"Si un movimiento declara que un hombre puede definir lo que significa ser una mujer basándose en sus sentimientos, pero una mujer no puede definir ser mujer basándose en su realidad material, entonces es un movimiento por los intereses de los hombres."
-Tasia Aránguez
El tipo que abre milímetro a milímetro la ventana de Overton de la “naturalización y tolerancia hacia la pedofilia” le acaba de dar una patada al cristal.
La pregunta es, ¿va la sociedad a permitir esto?
Siempre es buena idea tratar a mujeres trabajadoras como hombres sin pene y quese jueguen su salud, en lugar de tratarlas como seres humanos completos con las diferencias biológicas. Porque las mujeres existimos en tanto que los hombres nos lo permitan y nos ajustemos a su medida

STOP comparing Afghan women in burqas and Iranian women under compulsory hijab with Christian nuns.
This really isn’t complicated.
A nun chooses to become a nun. Her vow applies to her. She doesn’t take the vow and suddenly every woman in Italy has to cover her hair.
And if she removes her veil, the morality police don’t show up to beat her, arrest her, or throw her in prison.
That’s the difference.
In Iran and Afghanistan, the rules don’t care whether you’re religious, secular, Muslim, atheist, or just want to be left alone. You’re a woman? Congratulations. The authorities have a dress code for you.
And please stop pointing at little girls in hijab and calling it “choice.” Some of these children can’t even read yet. They’re old enough to choose a religious obligation for life, but apparently not old enough to choose what they want for lunch?
Here’s the test nobody seems to want to take:
What happens when a woman says NO?
If the answer is guns and bullets, prison, beatings, losing your education, or being erased from public life, congratulations, you’ve discovered the difference between choice and coercion.
And if you still think the Taliban model is somehow “liberating,” try it yourself. Cover up. Obey. Let religious authorities decide how you dress, where you go, whether you work, and when you’re allowed to speak. Then explain to Afghan women how empowered you feel.
Is this really that difficult to understand?

"We've arranged a society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces."
- Carl Sagan
To those who say "it's her choice" I used to say the same thing about my own Hijab.
I was covered head to toe. Even on the beach. Even with my male relatives. And when people challenged me, I said: this is my choice. You know why? Because the other option was burning in hell, hung by my hair for eternity. That's what they taught me since childhood.
Yes, let me repeat it for you to just understand about our version of “freedom of choice.” I grew up in an Islamist culture that gave me two options. Cover yourself and go to heaven. Or don't cover, and be hanged by your hair and burned in hell.
Like when someone puts a gun to your head and says "you can go left or right", technically, yes, that's a choice.
I picked heaven. I called it freedom. And I believed it, because that's what happens when fear is all you've ever known.
And if you think I shouldn't be telling you my story, I don't care. I really, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, don't care. The women still living under that "choice"? I care about them.

Si habéis terminado de celebrar la copa del mundo masculina os dejo este dato sin importancia: En 48 horas dos hombres han asesinado a dos mujeres y una tercera ha muerto tras meses hospitalizada por otra agresión. Os cabrean más empujones en el campo que las muertas en casa.
Imagine a group of white people saying that they know what it’s like to “feel black,” and that because of this feeling, and their enjoyment of stereotypically “black behavior,” they are now not just black themselves, but the most marginalized and vulnerable type of black person.
Imagine them insisting that they should be the main focus of all activism meant to help black people. Imagine them having taxpayer-funded operations to darken their skin and mimic stereotypically black features.
Imagine them walking around in blackface, and saying it’s better than being born black.
Imagine them being referred to as black in the press and supported by celebrities, with laws passed to make white people who identify as black a protected class.
Imagine these people demanding membership in black organizations, and demanding they be given awards created specifically to honor black achievement.
Then imagine them getting their way.
Now imagine mobs of them showing up to black events that don’t include them to drown out any speakers with noise, and coming up with slurs for any black person who doesn’t accept that white people are black if they say they are.
Imagine them calling for the rape, torture, and mass murder of any black person who disagrees with them. Imagine them getting black people doxxed, harassed, assaulted, fired from their jobs, and investigated by the police for saying that you have to be born black to be black.
Now imagine the government supporting their demands.
That’s exactly the position that women are in right now, with a few extras, like being locked in cells with dangerous men, the sexual predation of lesbians via coercion, and the increased risk of sexual assault in formerly female-only spaces.
Our greatest oppressors are now claiming not only the right to oppress us in whole new ways, but the right to erase our identities as women and rewrite the meaning of womanhood in ways that not just include, but prioritize them.
If you wouldn’t support this kind of behavior towards black people, you have no business supporting this kind of behavior towards women.

Almost five years ago, the Taliban announced that girls’ schools and universities would remain closed until further notice, and that no one was even allowed to question the decision.
Today, the Taliban announced the university entrance exam results. For the fourth consecutive year, not a single girl was allowed to take the exam.
To the world that constantly speaks about human rights—where are you? How much longer will this injustice continue?
Is the United Nations only there to issue statements and hold symbolic meetings? Where is the action?
Hoy queremos recordar, una vez más, a Nagore Laffage. Tenía veinte años cuando fue asesinada el 7 de julio de 2008 por el hombre que aparece en la imagen contigua: José Diego Yllanes.
Ambos trabajaban en el mismo hospital, aunque fue durante la noche de San Fermín cuando se encontraron. Se gustaron y decidieron ir a casa de él. Allí comenzaron a besarse, pero de repente él se volvió violento y le rasgó la ropa. Nagore se asustó y le dijo que quería marcharse. Forcejearon. Ella intentó escapar e incluso llegó a llamar a Emergencias. Él le arrebató el teléfono, la golpeó repetidas veces y finalmente la estranguló. Cuando comprobó que había muerto, trasladó su cuerpo a un bosque. Intentó descuartizarlo, pero desistió y terminó abandonándolo allí.
Durante el juicio, además del asesino, también se juzgó la vida de Nagore. A él no lo condenaron por asesinato, sino por homicidio.
Nagore hizo todo lo que tantas veces se dice que hay que hacer: decir no, resistirse e intentar pedir ayuda llamando a Emergencias. Aun así, la asesinaron. Y aun así, cuando ya no podía defenderse, también fue juzgada.
El asesino no llegó a cumplir nueve años de prisión por este crimen. Desde 2017 trabaja como psiquiatra en una clínica privada y, desde 2020, también puede ejercer en la sanidad pública.
Los talibanes endurecen aún más su #misoginia en Afganistán, ante la connivencia internacional: detienen a decenas de mujeres en redadas, por incumplir sus reglas de velado patriarcal. Esto se suma a que:
❌Desde mayo, han legalizado el matrimonio forzado de niñas menores incluso de 9 años.
❌Desde enero, el código penal legaliza la violencia contra las mujeres.
❌Desde 2021, más de 140 normas cercenan la vida de las mujeres y las niñas en todos los ámbitos.
❌Una delegación de los talibanes visitará Bruselas este mes de junio, invitados por la Unión Europea.
