will share it now. i cant believe this is still ongoing! horrible
A former International Criminal Court chief prosecutor has said there is “reasonable basis to believe that genocide is being committed again
Azerbaijan has blocked all the roads to Nagorno-Karabakh for over 7 months now. People are starving, not receiving the medical help they need, there's no fuel... It is a "silent genocide."
The article above doesn't explain why other countries aren't doing anything, but my local paper where I saw this news did, and it is a combination of the following things:
– Azerbaijan is allied with Turkey, which "Western" countries are trying not to annoy at the moment, because of the situation at the Black Sea being a bit delicate rn.
– Azerbaijan also has a lot of natural resources related to energy, which the EU is horny for.
– BP has also invested massively in Azerbaijan energy stuff, so Britain is also not gonna do anything to endanger all that money.
– Russia is busy with its war in Ukraine, so it is not doing its part in keeping the road open as agreed in the cease fire between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Today Aze started using artillery. Villages and towns of Artsakh are being targeted. Civilian injuries are 23. At least 8 of them are children. An entire village is surrounded by Aze forces. Please PLEASE reblog.
Azeris are taking teenage boys aged 14, they also beheaded 3 children in front of their mother's eyes.

it’s insane that men around the world made laws stating that if a man rapes a woman and doesn’t wanna go to jail all he has to do is marry her and some countries still go by that law. like they really decided a woman should be punished for getting raped by being what is essentially tied to him (moreso his property) for life
They were not punishing the bride, they were compensating their father for the now broken object.
sorry for fixating on the victim’s perspective instead of the father’s i guess
My point was that rape wasn’t even considered in relation to the damaging of women besides their lose of value in the marriage market. A woman that could not get married was a woman with no prospects . what would she do?once her parents are dead who takes care of her? Ignoring this complete dehumanization of women as capable agent while discussing this subject is missing a big part on the patriarcate’s oppresion through a thing called “honor”.
You just described why she has no agency in the most insensitive clinical way possible, you fucking called her an “object” right here. Then you blame feminists for not seeing her agency enough. What’s the libfem stance on this then? “Marrying your rapist is empowering—since you are a broken object who needs taking care of!! I’m not saying that though!! Cause they’re the ones saying that I’m just repeating it to be culturally sensitive! Any feminist who says otherwise is dehumanising your agency”
You fucking snake
Do y'all not like @queenmiriamele for some previous reason or is this just another instance of internet jumping to the worst possible way of interpreting what someone else says ?
I don’t see any reason to jump to thinking that her calling the hypothetical woman an object was her own feeling on the subject rather than taking the patriarchal POV to explain how the “forced to marry your rapist” is just part of a larger dehumanisation of women.
whos yall?
You and owls-garden. Mainly owls-garden but I also found your first answer surprisingly rude (low key accusing her of not caring about the woman here and taking her sentence about how patriarchy considers women object as caring about the father perspective which is a stretch) so I was wondering if there was some previous issue with her that would explain the immediate “take it in the worst possible way” approach.
i mean i was indeed thinking from the bride’s perspective where it does indeed feel like ur being punished for being violated by being literally forced to marry ur rapist in exchange for HIS freedom, so getting a comment with 0 elaboration that says “ummm its not to punish her its to compensate her father for his now broken object!” felt both out of place, tonedeaf, and to have totally missed where i was coming from. i do not know that person above. that is my best estimation for why i answered the way i did a year ago.
I also dont get At All how you could have Interpreted that this way @melanez
It was pretty clear that @queenmiriamele wasn’t saying that a (raped) woman is an object but that she is treated as such
thank u for adding on, but i did not argue anywhere that she said that a raped woman is an object. :)
True, that was owls-garden, sorry
thank u for the apology
Texas and Arabs fight against the eternal yanks together! One people one struggle 🇸🇦 🫱🏽🫲🏻 🤠
they’re not even arab
how the fuck do western people keep mistaking pakistani people as arabs? do they not know that pakistan used to be a part of india?
"women NEED men for protection" and then in reality we have to protect ourselves from some men while other men watch
or they will film it and upload it, adding to the humiliation and ensuring that other's can take a look at a traumatic moment for her while trying to be funny and start debates about "equal rights, equal fights *shrug emoji*"
How do you feel about pan-arabism?
sounds awful and like it’ll only harm those of us that are ethnic minorities even more than we’re already being harmed
The Right To Say No
A lot of the more liberal, ‘cute’ Muslims will always be on my ass about ‘you left the religion now stay away from it. Why do you keep talking about it?’ so I’m here to end this pointless discourse.
Because I’m not allowed to leave it.
I live in Egypt, a muslim-majority country with laws that allow my family to kill me with no repercussions if I disobey them, try to run away from them, bring ‘shame’ or ‘dishonour’ upon them (through such horrendous acts as having a boyfriend, or even just male friends), or if I ruin the family reputation. There’s a million and one ways for them to get away with my abuse, with marrying me off, with controlling my every move, with killing me in cold blood. If I speak out in my real life about leaving Islam, I’ll be killed by a brain washed stranger before my parents even get to hear about it.
Islam is not a religion of peace, and anyone who speaks basic arabic can tell you that the word Islam does not come from the word salam, meaning peace or greetings. They come from the same root word, yes, but that does not mean in arabic what it does in english. Islam comes from the word istislam, meaning to surrender. To surrender yourself completely to Allah, mind and soul. To obey without question, to believe without thought. That is what Islam teaches Arab children. These are the literal words of our prophet. Your mortal mind is too weak, too small, to understand Allah’s will in His creation. Do not trust your mind. Trust my words blindly.
I’ve been forced to wear the hijab since I was 10 years old. I was too young to understand then, too young to say no, but when I was a teenager I tried to argue that I would wear it when I’m older, when I can understand, when I feel ready. All of this got shot down angrily, even with me crying my eyes out for days, begging for some freedom to breathe. I am still forced to wear it to this day.
I’ve been forced to pray the 5 daily prayers since I was 4 years old. My parents would grab me and put me in a long tarha and make me do the movements next to my mother (never, of course, standing next to my father or brothers. Even in families, the wife and daughters stand behind the sons and father), before I was even old enough to understand the words being said. My father followed prophet Muhammed’s words “Order your children to pray by 7, beat them for it by 10″. A child refusing to pray would mean a punishment worse than death. I’m still forced to pray, to this day.
I’ve been forced and dragged and beaten and screamed at and punished since I was 5 to memorise the Qura’an. It’s made up of long verses in complex Arabic. It often speaks of violence towards non-believers, both in this life and the next. It often insults and sneers at Christians and Jews. It often speaks of violence against women. It speaks of the murder of homosexual men - and never brings up the unthinkable, homosexual women. It speaks of the evils of women, befriending non-believers, homosexuality and disobedience. It speaks of women being unclean while on their periods. We are not allowed to touch the Qura’an or even speak it aloud during our periods. I am still forced to memorise it, to this day.
I am forced to dress in long, uncomfortable, itchy materials, even in 50 degree weather (celsius) in the Saudi Arabian sun. I can not wear see-through materials, or tight materials, or even half sleeves. Every inch of me must be covered save for my hands, my feet and my face. I often pass out from the heat. I can’t wear a swimsuit at the beach. I can’t wear shorts or tank tops in my own house. I can’t stand in the cool breeze with my hair blowing behind me. I am not allowed to become a judge. I am not allowed to be a ruler. My word in court counts for half of what a man’s does. I am the image of the devil. I am sin. I am a woman.
I can’t stand up and say, I am an ex-muslim, I can’t stand up and say, I am a bisexual woman. I can’t stand up and say I denounce this religion, I denounce this life, I reject these limitations. I reject these ideas. My hair is not so enticing that I have to cover it. My arms are not sexual organs. My name is not arousing. My sexuality is not wrong. My logic is above your 1400 year old myths. I can’t stand up and say no. I can’t say, I was born into this life, I did not choose it, I was born a muslim, with muslim parents, in a muslim country. I can not say, I’ve tried your Islam and I didn’t like it, and I don’t believe in it. I can not say I’ve decided I don’t want it.
All I want is the right to say no. The right to reject a life that was thrust upon me without my approval. The right to seek out my own paths.
All I want is the right to say, No, I will not surrender.
I love religious people who argue that men and women are equal, they just have different roles. It’s funny because those roles are always “rational intelligent fully capable human being” and “submissive domestic sex slave” but it’s all alright because those roles have the same value and you’re the prejudiced one for thinking one is worse :3
و لو مثليه ليه كاتبه !!! موضوع لا يستدعى مشاركته مع الاخرين و ليا اصدقاء مثليين لكن لا يفصحون عن الامر و كل شخص حر بقناعته و لكن امشاركته الامر و مخالفتك لمعظم البشر يجعلك تشعرين بالقوه او الاختلاف !! امر غريب ارجو الرد
فيه أشياء نعملها “ لأننا نحب نعملها ” ماهو ضروري تكون مقنعة للغير .. أنا أحب فكرة كوني أميل للنساء وأحب أعلنها وأعرفها كجزء من هويتي ..
إضافة : إننا في مجتمعات تضطهد وتسئ وتحتقر المثلي وتعتبره مريض عقلي ومنبوذ ومقرف .. أنا أحاول أن أقدم نفسي نموذج لمثلية ناضجة تحيا حياة طبيعية وعقلها سليم حتى أزيل عن الأذهان هذا التشوه الذي يلصق بالمثليين ، وأساعد كل مثلي متأثر بنظرة المجتمع وأجعله يشعر بأنه طبيعي ولا ينبغي له أن يخفي نفسه بل يعلن ويدافع عن حقه في ممارسة حياته بطبيعته ، ذلك وسيلة فعلية حتى إذا رآنا المجتمع يتعود على وجودنا ثم يعتاد أن يرانا أناس طبيعيون .
I don't think Saudi Arabia Supports pan-arabism they are more pan-islamist. An attemp of an Arab Union was made by Egypt and Syria. Also do you know about Arab Cold War? It is an interesting read
in a way, saudi arabia’s entire existence is a case of pan-arabism. there was no saudi arabia a bit over a century ago, they were separate nations that were forcefully put together by al-saud. some of the earliest pushers of pan-arabism were saudi leaders tho:
saudi and the UAE are two of the three living examples of it too
i agree that pan-islamism would be their greater goal but frankly i don’t think pan-arabism and pan-islamism are that divided from one another as ideologies. with pan-arabism, the dominant religion and official religion will likely be islam because nearly all so-called “arab states” are muslim-majority and under sharia law to some degree. ethnic minorities are already so heavily persecuted in MENA region and i can only imagine pan-arabism making it worse. and i don’t doubt that once that goal is achieved, they’d move onto pan-islamism anyways because that would result in an even greater and more powerful nation ultimately which would take over many parts of africa, almost all of west asia, parts of south asia, and perhaps singapore & indonesia.
i know that for a specific period of time, the most vocal supporters of pan-arabism were egypt & syria, perhaps also iraq.. but frankly i think if it were to happen today, the nation that’ll benefit from it most heavily will ultimately be saudi. and the origins of this ideology is perhaps also saudi (perhaps meccan would be more accurate as saudi didn’t exist when pan-arabism first was promoted).
also stuff like this just goes back to my concerns:
ethnic & religious minorities are already treated like shit & persecuted. imagine if we all united over “arab” identity and then united over islam… i don’t think it’ll be good for other ethnic groups whatsoever.
Giving birth is sooo crazy like . Im not doing tht lol!!
white women & other marginalized white people are still complicit in racism and that needs to be acknowledged, especially in heavily nonwhite spaces such as the wlw community.
i feel like white people genuinely don’t understand that any system of oppression they face, we face too PLUS the added burden of racism. the constant fetishization that wlw face is only increased by the fetishization that woc face. misogyny is not an exclusively white issue, homophobia/lesbophobia/biphobia is not an exclusively white issue, etc etc. nothing is an exclusively white issue.
this doesn’t even touch on how much woc have done for feminism & the wlw community and how white women have historically ignored that. being sapphic is not a white invention or a white-only thing and it should not be treated as such.
ID: a tweet by mythical @mitskileaks
“I used to rebel by destroying myself, but realized that's awfully convenient to the world.for some of us our best revolt is self-preservation,”
Everyone is applauding them in the comments 🙄
Because making women have to play along with your fantasy of what a woman is and should be is totally progressive to women’s rights. Because forcing yourself into our spaces is actually liberating. Because muddying the truth of what a woman is and what they experience is actually helping women who are harmed for what they have between their legs. This is such an awful take. You becoming a women doesn’t mean you will ever know or experience what women go through. No, you’re just oppressing us further and silencing the voices that actually need and deserve to be heard. Fuck you, you autogynephilliac.
“turning men into women” meant that women can no longer talk about a huge portion of issues affecting us bc talking about it is “transphobic cisfeminism” and “terfy” so now things like abortion aren’t “women’s issues” bc that implies trans women aren’t women, menstruation stigma isn’t a “women’s issue” bc that implies trans women aren’t women too
thanks for the help but i think you “turning men into women” has done the opposite of helping feminism.
trans"women" are men larping as women
their larping didnt "help feminism" it fucking destroyed it
