The thing about femicide that haunts me is how easy it is to see yourself in every victim because the difference between "her" and "me" often comes down to something as fragile as luck. The terrifying thought that it could be any of us.
You’re aware that bioessentialism essentially implies that men aren’t exactly morally culpable for misogyny and violence against women because it’s simply how they’re hardwired, which is the same logic underlying ‘men will be men’ and ‘boys will be boys’?
Especially women. We can wake up one day & all our rights will be taken away on a whim but never for men. The Afghan women went to bed one night & woke up the next day as slaves in their own homes & it haunts me everyday.
