I’m urging President Biden to rescind fast-track approval for the #ByhaliaPipeline.

The pipeline will cut through mostly Black neighborhoods in south #Memphis and could pose a serious threat to Memphians’ drinking water & property rights. It’s a matter of #EnvironmentalJustice.

@jhfrag @TweetsByBilal And the million dollar question I guess in this conversation is “WHY didn’t women have the same opportunities as men before” ?

[katertot @DudekKate]

@jhfrag @TweetsByBilal Sure I’d love links. I’m also not necessarily saying patriarchal societies started out of anything evil/with any intention to harm women but it has absolutely had negative effects on women, especially the many outdated or totally unnecessary rules & practices which came from it

[katertot @DudekKate]

@jhfrag @TweetsByBilal I get these are very different situations, I’m not exactly trying to compare them, but rather bring in a broader picture of different societies to the ones u and I might live in to consider more urgent or violent effects of patriarchal society

[katertot @DudekKate]

@jhfrag @TweetsByBilal I know, But the economical reason doesn’t even make sense to me and the thing about the bank account is, again, it wasn’t that the law was saying a woman wouldn’t need a bank account, but that a woman would need to be overseen by a male co-signer in order to have one

[katertot @DudekKate]

@jhfrag @TweetsByBilal (Cont) & these examples are honestly still very historically privileged positions for women. There are many worse examples in history & still today. Just one: Malala Yousafzai, known bc the Taliban would not allow girls to go to school & she went & was shot on the bus, in 2012

[katertot @DudekKate]

@jhfrag @TweetsByBilal How is it not a bad thing as a societal structure? I think the examples we’ve spoken about, the loss of certain personal liberties for women like opening a bank account without a man’s approval or going to university, are just 2 negative results of patriarchical societies

[katertot @DudekKate]

@jhfrag @TweetsByBilal What was your point then? Because my point is that the historic exclusion of women by men from universities simply for being women is unfair. Not about hating women but about men being in power and deciding for centuries that women aren’t allowed to access that

[katertot @DudekKate]

@jhfrag Patriarchy isnt about “Men hating Women”, that’s a whole different thing. Patriarchy is about men being in power, in control of whether or not women can do certain things, have certain rights, & using that power to subordinate them in big or small ways. Not necessarily about hate

@jhfrag @TweetsByBilal University of Edinburgh opens in 1583 and the first female students graduate in 1893.
University of London open in 1836, did not accept women until 1868 (reportedly the first in the world to do so).
Harvard founded in 1636, did not accept women until 1920.
