This video starts with my speech at #LetWomenSpeak#LetWomenSpeakRio#LetWomenSpeakBrasil
I will paste below the text in English that I read at the end, it has data on male violence against Brazilian women and girls.
@MTV "Our bodies are not a social construct. To believe that, you’d have to believe that men’s perspectives determine reality. You’d have to believe women are a product of male imagination."

@MTV “Men who lay stake to womanhood through pantomiming notions of innate femininity are enforcing the gender constructs they created to contain her. What he calls self-expression is intertwined with his entitlement to her.”

"Immaterial Girl" - @radfemfatale https://t.co/h1amZbZR4N Somer Brodribb, in her brilliant book Nothing Mat(t)ers: A Feminist Critique of Postmodernism describes the male colonization of woman's metaphysical self:
"Os homens em mantos brancos e mitra patreadas não são sacerdotes, são farmacêuticos."
"Com algumas centigramas de dantina... o indivíduo viverá plenamente convencido de que foi ele quem escreveu A Divina Comédia."
— Stanisław Lem, O incrível congresso de futurologia, 1971.
@CrunchAlias@Martina Every girl at some point has wished she had been born a boy so she could be treated as an autonomous human being and not as a male appendage.

@KeruboSk@oregonwoman Women quickly learn that rape is only a crime in theory; in practice the standard for what constitutes rape is not set at the level of experience of women’s violation but just above the level of coercion acceptable to men

@NoFilterSkin@BradfemlyWalsh Brazil has 822 thousand rapes per year or two per minute, only 8.5% come to the attention of the police and 4.2% are identified by the health system.
61.4% were girls at most 13 years old.
