“MY ARROGANCE KNOWS NO BOUNDS AND I WILL MAKE NO PEACE TODAY, AND YOU SHOULD BE SO LUCKY TO FIND A WOMAN LIKE ME” | Jenny Holzer, “Projections”

[klexquisite]

Important note : this is a projection by artist Jenny Holzer, but the text comes from a poem by Arab American writer Mohja Kahf, ’Ishtar Awakens in Chicago’. Holzer used Kahf’s work with her full agreement, I believe they’ve collaborated several times, but please check out the full context of the poem below.

My arrogance knows no bounds And I will make no peace today And you shall be so lucky To find a woman like me

Today neither will the East claim me nor the West admit me Today my belly is a well wherein serpents are coiled ready to poison the world, and you should be so lucky.

All I have is my arrogance I will teach it to lean back and smoke a cigarette in your faces, and you should be so lucky

No I will make no peace even though my hands are empty I will talk as big as I please I will be all or nothing And I will jump before the heavy trucks And I will saw off my leg at the thigh before I bend one womanly knee

I am poison And you will drink me And you should be so lucky.

the way some americans expect sympathy from ppl who are/were victims of their country’s imperialism is astounding to me. “the soldiers are poor and mostly young” i do not in fact care lmao 🙂 most of the countries you people have bombed are poor beyond your fucking comprehension, do you really think poor people only exist in the united states? and the fact that ive literally seen ppl be called classist over saying this lmao

[spaps-society-deactivated202603]

imagine getting offended by being told to be sympathetic to poor exploited people just because other poor people exist

[sensiti7e]

imagine ppl coming to your country to kill you and throw bombs on you because they want to go to college

Yesterday The Atlantic put out an article claiming child sex trafficking was a “fake” epidemic during the unfolding of the Ghislaine Maxwell trial.

In case you forgot what Ghislaine looks like, here’s a photo of her looking real cozy with Laurene Powell Jobs (Steve Job’s widow).

Oh, and Laurene owns The Atlantic.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: ↪ 3.17 “Enemies”

[user87262893]

Tweets like this show how little people understand prostitution.

Them saying "can you imagine it?? Being forced to have sex with a large number of people and please them or you get fired!!! Lol that'd be horrible!" as if thousands of women and girls aren't being beat, killed, and brutalized by pimps, brothel owners, or johns for not doing the same already.

Even for independent prostitutes in developed nations, who choose their own clients - their workday fear isn't some "lol 4.7 bad rating!!" goofiness. It's being raped. It's having their wrists broken and throat slashed. It's their body being found in a ditch or a dumpster.

And worst of all...this phrasing. "The only reason"....the only?? Not the fact that womens bodies shouldn't be subject to commodification? That consent can't be purchased? That female sexuality isn't a resource to be monetized?

People truly have no clue what they're saying.

[womenandhillbilliesinteract]

i don’t know... like... i enjoy jennifer’s body but is it like... actually feminist? i have my critiques. what are your feelings?

[cluedup]

I have similar feelings! I enjoy it too and I think it's a relatively unique film but it reminds me of that post that says something like "was it feminist or were there like...women in it." I personally don't think it's as subversive as a lot of people make it out to be. I will always appreciate female characters but there weren't exactly feminist actions or dialogues taking place lol. I think it’s a solid movie on its own but it’s almost like people are making up/exaggerating certain themes to justify liking it now, since most people seemed to find it cringey back when it came out.

and it has some other tropes I don't really love:

beautiful young woman is sexually assaulted;

beautiful young woman plays out a bit of a revenge fantasy, which doesn't sit entirely right with me in the context of the movie since it’s not like anyone is on her side. which I GET since she’s murdering people but then ok what are we trying to say here;

and while I understand what the cast and crew was saying about the whole women competing with women thing after the fact, I don't think they deconstructed it so much as just portrayed it with little to no criticism in the product itself.

mean unfun feminist hills i will die on: bitch is a slur, cunt is a slur, rape is a misogynist hate crime, woman beating is a misogynist hate crime, pregnancy and motherhood are a trap, buying sex (including surrogacy) is violent misogyny, piv sex as the center of sexuality is plain misogyny, free abortion access is mandatory for women’s liberation, marriage is a tool of male control, most women would be better off without most men. and any man who thinks he’s the exception is not. and we have to understand that while ipv does occur in all types of relationships it disproportionately happens by men to women or by male to female people and it’s cheap cowardice to just remove or ignore gender and sex in our understanding of power relations and reduce it only to “gender violence” or “ipv” in conversations on these topics. get specific. see patterns clearly.

“Each morning before court and every night after I will take a long shower, as the shower is the only place I will have any privacy. In the stall I will get down on my knees and weep, letting the water run over my body, praying to get better, praying not to hurt myself any more than I’m already hurting, praying that this loss, that this whole time will move over me, through me, like a dark storm passing over a great plain. A great plain which is, essentially, my soul. A soul which is neither light nor dark, neither wholly alone nor wholly with any other, certainly not with God, just flat, open, deathless, and free. Curled up in a wet ball on the tile floor I will hear myself say, Something in me is dying. I no longer know to whom I’m talking.”

— Maggie Nelson, The Red Parts

here’s the thing, if you consume porn i don’t want to hear your opinion on social issues at all. you don’t like racism but you watch videos from a site that has slavery themed porn? you want to smash the patriarchy but you’ll watch 18 year old girls get pissed on by grown men. you hate homophobes but you’ll watch porn on a site that has videos titled “lesbian forced to take cock”? you want to battle transphobia but you’re okay with pornhub recruiting trans identitied teens to be abused on film for a couple hundred bucks? if you can boycott a spice brand for prejudice why can’t you do it for porn? if your activism ends the moment you want to nut, shut your fucking mouth and stop pretending like you give a fuck about any of this.

And THIS is why pretending biological sex has nothing to do with women/women’s rights is so dangerous.If we can’t label misogyny as misogyny anymore, how can we combat it?

L'Origine du monde, 1866, by Gustave Courbet. Musée d'Orsay, Paris. Personal photo. It’s really impressive to see it in the museum : all people who look at it seem utterly intimidated, in a hurry, meanwhile they look with a satisfied curiosity to the 34'567 penises dangling from whatever statue.
