One of the biggest power moves I have here in the midwest when someone is being racist, sexist, homophobic is that I tell them that I’ll pray for them so that god can grace them with empathy, or that “I feel sorry the devil has made his home in your heart” cause you have not felt joy until you’ve flipped the script on a suburban house mom or an old racist white man.  The joy of watching their face in shock and confusion while they’re called out in Christian Standards the same way they try to cover for their homophobia is amazing.  100% suggest it, at the very least it gets them to shut the fuck up.

‘Honor Killings’ in the West

While the Western media often depicts Muslim societies like Pakistan as particularly misogynistic, they ignore the fact that in the U.S., for instance, 3 women are killed EVERY DAY by their male partners.

@7aki-niswen per your thesis on the particularization of the violence in muslim contexts to suit contemporary orientalism

The images beg the questions: why does little girls’ clothing “need” to be tighter, shorter and more constricting than boys’? Is it easier to move in such clothes? Play in them? Run in them? What is it grooming girls to wear later? How is it grooming them to perceive themselves? -  Peggy Orenstein

I’ve seen this post before and it makes me angry every time, by the time these kids are adults they will think this is normal, that this is the norm. Finding comfortable clothes shouldn’t be as difficult as it is, and even more in the case of children.

this is true starting with baby clothes.  i have been buying my kid clothes from both sections since he was born, and even the INFANT clothes for girls are tinier.

there’s a problem where when you’re socialized to not be able to say no, when you get tired, it becomes harder and harder to work up the effort to say no, which means the tireder i get the more i say yes and the tireder i get i am doing something stupid i really don’t want to do this week because i can’t muster a “no” because “no” isn’t my default and boundaries take constant work and i don’t have it in me to do work, so i end up doing more work because i can’t work

this is great

there are so many white women in the notes giving a half-baked rebuttal as if that rhetoric isn’t exactly what this hijabi is responding to. smh.

In the city of Puebla, pilgrims carry paintings and bouquets to the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The roses point to Mary’s first appearance in Mexico. According to tradition, she revealed herself to an Native American man, Juan Diego, in 1531.
