Rojo Cielo es Mi Cielo, Tambien

Last night, Zac took me to my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area because I had to show it off (he’s from Arizona and we’re seemingly alone in this city in terms of “our food.” Texas and Arizona are Mexican influenced to a very heavy degree, and DC is, shall we say……. Not. I like Salvadoran food. I like Nicaraguan food, etc. But there’s no nostalgia in banana leaf tamales for either of us.…

Ny novell! Bindel

Den här novellen handlar om en fantasi som 2 personer har. Den börjar med att en kvinna som kallas Choko blir bunden & belagd med en ögonbindel. Chokos man (eller liknande) hämtar några andra män på en närliggande bar. De beger sig sedan iväg till hotellrummet som Choko befinner sig på. Där börjar resten av handlingen i novellen…

“Karen” Isn’t a Slur—It’s A Critique of Entitled White Womanhood

A Karen’s racism is inextricable from her white womanhood.

A white woman being called “Karen” hardly seems like something to squeak up about in the midst of the pernicious, violent racism defining our current circumstances. But perpetrators don’t like to be called perpetrators—indeed, many people had only heard of Bindel previously because, in 2019, she deemed the term “TERF” to also be a slur. Months before Bindel came for “Karen,” Aja Romano wrote a Vox explainer on “The anti-vaxxer soccer mom with speak-to-the-manager hair,” explaining in its very first paragraph that Karen is for sure white: “‘Karen’ in particular has emerged as the frontrunner for the average ‘basic white person name’—a pejorative catchall label for a wide range of behaviors thought to have connections to white privilege.” But as Bindel’s Karen complaints ran rampant across the internet over the last week, others jumped into the fray, adding to the discourse—and, all too predictably, warping it.

Privileged people in general regularly balk at labels, saying they’re “just human” or that they’re “people,” and therefore defy description. And white women specifically like to lean into the fact that they aren’t men, so they can’t weaponize their whiteness. They believe they occupy a unique place here, and just as white people online often apologize on behalf of whites to create distance between Good White People and Bad White People (an idea explored in Shannon Sullivan’s Good White People: The Problem with Middle-Class White Anti-Racism), white women have attempted to separate themselves from power inherent in whiteness: In their world, it only really benefits men. But we know that isn’t true. Last August, Anna North reviewed Stephanie Jones-Rogers’s recently published book They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South, writing, “Jones-Rogers makes the case that white women were far from passive bystanders in the business of slavery, as previous historians argued. Rather, they were active participants, shoring up their own economic power through ownership of the enslaved.” And, in current contexts, white women’s power is translated into that of a Karen; Black women know that Karens have always walked among us.

Julie Bindel, still transphobic?

Possible tw: transphobia Guys, I kinda need your help. So during the "Feministic Liberationfestival" here in Norway, the panel were asked if they included trans women aswell when they used the word "women". Julie Bindel and Rachel Moran "answered" this, but some seem to misunderstand what they said. So I wrote it down. I would very much like it if you could help me by saying if this is transphobic or not? Question from the audience(me): When you use the word "women, do you include trans women aswell, or just cis women. Moran: I don't identify as a cis women, I have to say and I don't appreciate being labeled by anybody else. I don't..I'm not..I'm a woman. I'm not a cis woman, I'm a woman." Q: It was for the panel, you(Moran) were the only one who mentioned the word trans, that's why I asked. Bindel: I'm on the board of SPACE International and we support absolutely anyone who is abused and exploited within the sex trade. That includes trans men, trans women, children, adult men, adult women, whoever. And in fact we've had some great support from some trans women who have talked about the pro sex work lobby tried to make the two issues indivisible. So this mantra that the majority of sex workers are trans, therefore if you are against sex work, you are transphobic has to be knocked on its head, 'cause it's really affecting the human rights of those trans people who wish to exit the Sex trade, or not have the story written for them in this pro Sex work way. I'd like to say something about the term cis woman. I have no problem whatsoever with somebody saying to me "can you explain wether you are a trans woman or not", or a woman who was born female. Nothing at all. The problem with the term cis for feminists, is that the women's movement, at least my women's movement, was built upon the notion that gender is a social construct, and that gender hurts women very badly, girls and women. Because it is a total and utter fallacy, that we are somehow growing up softer, weaker, more emotional, less capable than men. Gender benefits men, greatly, because it says that men are more powerful, more privileged, stronger etc. So I'm a gender abolishonist, so to say that, as a cis woman, I...this is the description of cis, is that you are born into a body, where you feel comfortable with your gender" No, the fact is that women became feminists because they hate gender rules imposed on us*applause* so how could we possibly be happy with a gender rule that is imposed upon women, we hate it. And that is my problem with the term cis, but I think the wider question is, do we support trans people, absolutely, and we want more trans people to come forward and say, the sex trade is harmful" *applause* So what do you think? (Link to my blog were this is taken from, that also includes a link to the audio clip.)
