"Despite statements in support of racial justice, many organizations fail to make good on their commitments to diversity"

'More street lighting' and 'extra garda presence on the streets' doesn't stop women being murdered in their own homes. Carceral feminism is not the answer. The roots of male violence go very deep and is cultural, social and political. Let's address that.
@GottesVon @DrSherifEmil@CMAJ@KirstyPatrick Here's the thing. Women get threatened and beaten the world over for a variety of things. Maybe we should focus less on items of clothing and more on the need to police women's bodies generally, particularly by men
@GottesVon @DrSherifEmil@CMAJ@KirstyPatrick How about where to go to school? What food to eat? Going to church? Family dinners? Whether to watch TV and how much? All are beliefs "imposed" upon children
@GottesVon @DrSherifEmil@CMAJ@KirstyPatrick You mean that parents don't do this? What does it mean to raise a child? Isn't it teaching your children how to behave, what is right, what is wrong, what is safe, what is possible according to your own beliefs about the world? What about dresses for girls and pants for boys?
@DrSherifEmil@CMAJ@KirstyPatrick 2/2 Or by the same argument, that the media, the education system, and the medical system among many others are and have been used as tools of oppression
@DrSherifEmil@CMAJ@KirstyPatrick 1/2 Maybe we should instead talk about how young girls are sexualized everywhere. Or how giving a voice to those we presume to be voiceless begins with listening to them rather than imposing our views on their experiences.
