The Woman, 1895 by Giacomo Grosso (Italian, 1860–1938)

[honeyapplebutterfly]

It’s fucking insane that women can’t even gather. We have to be underground, word of mouth, in the middle of the woods in tents, just to be allowed to speak freely. Doesn’t that feel crazy? Don’t get me wrong, I love being in the woods with women, but why must we be so hidden while men can shout and scream at the top of their lungs in every city across the US? Why is it SO disproportionate? All we are asking for is to be left alone but it requires so much obfuscation. Men have entire parades, women must whisper on secret channels and hide in the forest.

We got to have a speakeasy just to have a conversation. Violence against women has gotten out of hand because our group has been socially redefined against our will. Do we actually have more rights than the women of Afghanistan if we also can't even talk to one another without being attacked for it?

We do. We can have a talk about the state of women here without minimizing the fact that there are legal repercussions against women in Afghanistan LITERALLY speaking at all, or baring their face, or going to any doctor. Two things can be bad, but don't pretend that it is anywhere on the same level of totalitarian state-enforced violent misogyny.

Women should have 1. better healthcare here, 2. should be allowed to be as topless as men, and 3. should be allowed to speak controversially without social ostracization, but it is absolutely worse to be given 1. no healthcare, 2. afraid to show any skin at all, 3. not allowed to speak at all without legal action.
