#intersectional
I was watching the episode where Fern wrote stories for her school magazine under a pseudonym and there is a scene where Francine and Fern are in the library talking about “Agatha Shelley”’s story, and Francine mentions a part where the main character dresses up as a g*psy. YES, SHE SAID THE G WORD. ON A Y-RATED SHOW.
You wouldn’t refer to Mexicans as b**ners on a PBS show, so why are you allowed to dehumanize Romani people in the same way? Also, this “g*psy” was hiding gold coins in her tambourine. Why is Arthur reinforcing stereotypes that Romani people steal things and like tambourine music? This is deeply problematic and I can no longer watch this show, one of my childhood favorites, in good conscience, knowing that Francine and Fern are racist asswipes who casually utter derogatory slurs on children’s television.
Shameful, PBS, shameful.

it really enrages me to see people claming they are pro-intersectionality while in reality they are just using an additive approach of identities/social positions when they aren’t using the unitary model.
Nooo. intersectionality is not adding disvataged/privileged idetities where the social effects of each identities are separated from one another. This is just a spread misconception of what intersectionality is.
What characterize intersectionality is the mutually co-constitutive nature of multiple aspects of identity meaning for example being a trans man, these two identities can’t be separated from each’s others. The experience of being a man is conditioned by being trans and being trans is conditioned by being a man. It’s mutually co-constitutive, it can’t be divided.
From an intersectional point of view the concept transandrophobia is valid.
Experience also means disadvantages and from an intersectional approach there are going to be disadvantages specifically for being a trans man (and not for just being trans or just being a man)in a cishetpatrical (etc etc) context.
White supremacy will use any excuse to be racist while forgetting its own history of abuse and violence.
Women supporting women in public bathrooms is so precious on that note let’s be just as supportive and inclusive of our trans sisters using public bathrooms.
Killing Sulaimani- How The Butcher of the People Became an Anti-Imperialist Hero - Hawzhin Azeez
“You can cheer the end of Sulaimani and still be anti-war. You can condemn the way Sulaimani was executed but still be relieved that he is no longer around to terrorize people. You can be anti-US imperialism and anti-Iranian dictatorship and brutality. Being anti-US imperialism, being anti-Trump’s reckless disregard for humanity does not mean that you should make Sulaimani a symbol of freedom, or Leftist ideology. Sulamani was a butcher. Trump is a dangerous megalomanic. The Ayatollah’s are just as guilty, dripping with the blood of millions across the region funding terrorist groups and proxy wars. Let Sulaimani die the butcher he was, with a fitting illegal end- the same he dished out to thousands-, without turning him into an anti-imperialist hero of the people- and by extension justifying the Iranian regime. The only loyalty you should have should be for the ordinary people of Iran, Iraq and the region. It is 2020, and it is about time we started viewing such issues in all their complexities, realizing that multiple truths can co-exist and that a simplistic analysis serves no one but those hungering for war.”
Important reminder that there is nothing feminist about war.
Afghanistan. Iraq. Syria. Yemen. Libya. The cycle continues through US interventionism, neocolonialism, imperialism and industrial war machine.
Blame the system. Blame the ideology. Blame those that uphold and support and voted for him.
The army is a tool of patriarchal and colonial violence.
Please be careful out there. Black Lives Matter. Love and solidarity.
As middle easterners we’re really wondering about this.
Important reminder that the evils of our governments does not represent the people who only want peace. The difference between you and I, my friend, is far smaller than the difference between our governments.
I’d pay to watch that.
I mean seriously. How hard is it to serve the people AND finding love?
The face of depression.
Stand in solidarity with Sudan!
Break the silence over Sudan.
This is just…despicable.
Purplewashing | Decolonize Palestine
Purplewashing refers to when a state or organization appeal to women’s rights and feminism in order to deflect attention from its harmful practices.
tockthewatchdog-deactivated2020:
too many people think intersectional feminism means “being a woman is not oppression by itself, only when it’s combined with a different oppression” instead of “misogyny intersects with other oppressions to alter and intensify the nature of the daily terrorism all women face”
