• Brazilian Fundamentalists Blocked a 10-y.o. Rape Victim from Getting an Abortion
  19 August 2020, by siawi3

  Brazil, with it’s right-wing authoritarian government and inability to suppress COVID, has a lot of parallels with the United States. Their anti-abortion religious nuts are no different from our own. And certain parts of this story wouldn’t be out of place in parts of our country. When rescuing a fetus is more important to you than saving the life of a child rape victim, your priorities are completely distorted and no one should ever take your demands seriously.

• China’s modern genocide - There’s nothing new about the eugenics being practised in the Uighur “re-education” camps
  5 July 2020, by siawi3

  Compulsory sterilisation is one of the gravest things that can be imposed on a person. When imposed on her because of her ethnicity, it is a genocide — the female body as ground zero in the pursuit of better breeding. It is being done, methodically and barely concealed, now, to the Uighurs.

• Pakistan : The Sindhiyani Tehreek: Revolutionary Feminism in Sindh?
  15 December 2020, by siawi3

  In a largely male-dominated, patriarchal and feudal society – where honor killings are rampant, female literacy in rural areas barely touches 25% and domestic violence mostly goes unreported – how could these rural women lead a resistance against Pakistan’s most notorious dictatorial regimes?

• Bangladesh: Of Solidarity and Distrust: Morals as Perils in Bangladeshi Feminist Movement
  5 February 2020, by siawi3

  Actors in the women’s movement mostly differ on the question of sexuality. The morals and norms regarding the monogamous heterosexual (and legitimate) relationships are so strong that some actors would prefer not to be categorized as feminists at all. Feminists, hence, stand for all the ‘immoral’ sexual behaviors, even to their counterparts.

• Espagne : Les « FĂ©ministes de Catalogne » protestent contre la libre dĂ©termination du sexe enregistrĂ© Ă  l’état civil.
  11 janvier, par siawi3

  La gauche a totalement adoptĂ© le cadre idĂ©ologique du nĂ©olibĂ©ralisme culturel, qui, Ă  partir d’un individualisme narcissique, transforme les dĂ©sirs en droits et les droits en marchĂ©s de consommation. Nous ne nous dĂ©couragerons pas, et Ă  chaque fois qu’une fille affrontera des salves de misogynie sexualisante et la violence sexiste de la sociĂ©tĂ©, et se mettra Ă  croire qu’il vaudrait peut-ĂŞtre mieux essayer de devenir un homme, il y aura toujours l’une d’entre nous — une fĂ©ministe — pour lui donner les outils d’analyse, afin qu’elle comprenne que le problème ne vient pas elle mais de la sociĂ©tĂ©.

  11 October 2019, by siawi3
