If she killed them though, the judge would have no understanding or grace for her and would imprison her. So my question to a patriarchal society is .. what do you want women to do?
''Girls are being raped. Not metaphorically. Not as legal shorthand. The day their bodies bleed for the first time, they will be made pregnant by a man four, five, or six times their age, and their small bodies tell the rest. Thirty-two per cent of deaths for Afghan girls aged 15 to 19 are pregnancy-related and Afghanistan's maternal mortality rate is among the world's highest, 521 deaths per 100,000 live births.'' - Writes @NasimiShabnam

The sugar industry’s bitter legacy, built on slavery, exploitation and environmental damage, is still resonating today.

My position on Kanye is whilst I think he was and is very mentally ill, he went way too far and has yet to sufficiently make amends or take accountability. With that said, the whole furore is exposing the hypocrisy and hierarchising of whose pain matters.
When I think about this, I think about him dressing up as a KKK member and his anti-Black behaviour…and how no one non-Black has anything to say because that aligns with this world’s casteism with African peoples at the bottom.
I think about this a lot. so much of this film is about the intrinsic, fundamental reality of being black. either you know it or you don't. and if you can't access empathy, the movie is functionally gibberish to you. the motives make no sense if you don't get the dynamics in play
Pls take two minutes to listen to her entire response not just the one sentence highlighted in the caption. She lays it out PERFECTLY.
"I'll first say a big shout out to Mike and Delroy, like let's continue to honor them for how they handled that in real time, the grace and the dignity that they exercised, and the whole home team, everybody that was out there, like really carried themselves well. I think the events this weekend exposed a couple things - Institutionally, we still don't understand what inclusion means."
"Just because you invite someone into a space, but you don't provide the necessary resources to keep them and everyone else in that room safe by them being there, that's not inclusivity. That's exploitation."
"That man's disability got exploited that night, and it led to multiple offenses. That's the BAFTA's fault. And then the BBC, to air what they aired is careless."
"And not like some haphazard accident, no, like a real lack of care was exercised for those two Black men. And we know the BBC knows how to take care of what they care about, right, because they censored a bunch of other... they went so far as to make sure certain things weren't topics of conversation."
"They censored Akinola's speech, the director of My Father's Shadow, which is an amazing film, by the way. So you censored one Black man, you failed to protect two others, and our production designer, Hannah, you do not care for our dignity, our humanity."
"You want to celebrate our art, but you won't protect, and that's why we celebrate sinners. That's why we celebrate Ryan. That's why we show up to the NAACP, because those are spaces where we felt safe, where we feel safe."
- Jayme Lawson
Slurs like the N word were absolutely common for people born and raised in the 50s/60s in the UK.
My parents’ and grandparents’ generation remember slurs just being flung around left, right and centre.
You could see in Delroy’s reaction that it really hit him.
What I find so hilarious is that Adolescene became a huge cultural moment in Q1 of this year, white men re-evaluating how they and their kids become radicalised in schools only for them to continue getting radicalised anyway and forming xenophobic “reclamations” of England in Q3
This is not sex work, this is sex trafficking !!!
These women are victims of sex trafficking.
There is a very very VERY important distinction.
Sex trafficking IS NOT sex work !!!
