When the only women’s shelter in Worcester, MA shut down, many women escaping the sex trade were pushed back onto the streets.

This man murdered Chloe Devey Waterhouse by stabbing her. Headline glorifies him as a maths graduate while reducing her to the ‘sweetheart’ of a violent man who didn’t love her. Chloe held a first-class maths degree and a Master’s in statistics.
If men didn't turn women into property to control reproduction then what is your theory as to why this had been replicated independently in every culture on earth?
Nothing in the assertion that women’s subjugation existed in pre-agricultural societies necessitates the oppression of women to be “an immortal idea that exists above history”. You’re treating HGs as a State of Nature with creates axioms for human behaviour, instead of societies
@TeddyisVenn Recognising women’s subjugation in societies with no surplus and no property: 1. is correct, since it’s part of our historical development; and 2. shows the male capacity to act as a class even without property. It says nothing about what’s “natural” because there’s no such thing
@TeddyisVenn The entire framing of the question is flawed, with it assuming there is a “natural” state of social organisation for humans. HG societies are affected by material forces (that created female subjugation by males), they’re as relevant for establishing societal axioms as feudalism
• Canicule ? Les violences conjugales augmentent
• L'équipe préférée de monsieur perd? Les violences conjugales augmentent
• Une guerre éclate? Les violences sexuelles et sexistes augmentent
• Une catastrophe climatique se déroule? Les violences sexuelles et sexistes augmentent
Donc qu'est-ce qu'on peut conclure? Que la chaleur, la défaite sportive, la guerre, la catastrophe climatique sont des prétextes ET des occasions où la violence structurelle déjà là s'exprime encore plus fort.
Et ce sont toujours les femmes qui encaissent. Le corps des femmes reste littéralement la variable d'ajustement de toutes les instabilités masculines (climatiques, sportives, géopolitiques, économiques)
@Liv_Agar genuinely insane how much leftist women are willing to give up and forgive for the sake of the movement and yet you still have them calling feminism unnecessary and a CIA psyop or whatever like
