Epstein Files is the patriarchy. When feminists talk about patriarchy being a gamed system where men conspire to maintain male supremacy and exploitation of women and children, this is what we mean. This system has many iterations, from top to bottom, and it all works in concert.

In Chicago, a Border Patrol agent rammed a woman’s car, looked at her and said, “Do something, bitch.”

Then he shot her 5 times.

In Minneapolis, an ICE agent shot a woman as she tried to drive away, firing three shots into her head.

And after killing her… he said, “fucking bitch.”

They dehumanize women
They dehumanize immigrants
They dehumanize POC
And they dehumanize the LGBTQ+ community

To justify using violence.

When violence is preceded or followed by dehumanization, it isn’t an accident.

🇬🇧 A huge problem with the UK that isn’t addressed enough is the fact that, on a whole, nothing works. Like basic infrastructure. The trains, the buses, exit barriers, parking meters, ticket machines, roads, help lines, even wifi—none of it works properly.

classic failure of british politics that a leicester mp cares more about london mass transit than advocating for good public transport for their constituents

Do we think “Weird Turkish barber shops are chipping away at society”

or, perhaps, your political party’s austerity programme which:

- closed 773 libraries
- reduced life expectancy
- has 4.3m children in relative poverty

Is it a Saturn thing to feel like your life is on a constant pause or like you’re always fighting for your life while everyone else is on easy mode? Or am I just bitter ? 🤣

This “boys left behind” chat is soooo boring. Women are mentoring, guiding and actively changing the lives of young girls and teaching them that they can be whatever they put their minds to. Men on the other hand are spewing vitriol into podcast mics.
Sincerely, we don’t care.

I don't understand why women are the only ones expected to date people they're not physically attracted to. I never see such energy when it comes to men's standards.

if @UKLabour want to save money on disability benefits they could stop the DWP from re-assessing people with lifelong/genetic/degenerative conditions every 3 - 5 years & reinstate the lifetime award, instead of wasting money/bureaucracy on hounding disabled people for a pittance

[Feminist Witch 🇵🇸🇨🇩🇸🇩🌙 @DonCorleANN]

The most fulfilling relationships women have are with other women. They show up for us, they are funny, remember birthdays and gifts us on a random Tuesday. They’re there during hard times, support our ventures and love us. And sex isn’t even on the table. You are the issue

[natasha @imniceandsmart]

No girl im so happy for you and your boyfriend who’s boring and lazy and fat as fuckk

dreadful news to wake up to, but don’t pretend like the rise of right wing ignorance is a problem only america is facing. calling america stupid like there weren’t racists rioting in the uk two months ago. it’s a problem for all of us.
