there's part of me that finds the musk situation amusing. exactly what part of "apartheid emerald mine" or "nazi descendent" ever made people think he was admirable. or was it all of that unexamined internalized white supremacy?

"I found this book of beautiful Art Nouveau artwork by Julius Klinger, originally published in 1902. Two of the images really struck me and I decided to upload them. A horsewoman and a female fencer."
فواد و امیر می نویسند: این عکس را اول تقدیم میکنیم به مادرانمان و بعدا به تمام زنان سرزمینمان کوردستان. پوشیدن لباس زنانهی کوردی نه تنها تحقیر نیست بلکه یک افتخار بزگ است برای ما. از دیرباز زنان سرزمینمان پا به پای مردان در همهی جایگاه جامعه حضور داشتهاند، در آن زمانی که به خاطر زن بودن آنهارا زنده به گور میکردند، زنان ملتمان کوردستان در جنگها فرمانده و در جامعه از ارزش والایی برخوردار بودند، هیچ کس و هیچ دولت و قانونی نمیتواند به زنان ما بی احترامی کند .
“Being a woman is not a means to humiliate and punish anyone”
After a policeman in the Iranian Kurdish town of Marivan paraded an accused criminal in traditional Kurdish women’s clothes in the streets in order to humiliate him, women marched in the city condemning the use of women’s attire as a kind of humiliation.
In support, an internet campaign of Kurdish and other Iranian men has sprung up showing men wearing Kurdish women’s clothes and messages and support. For example, this message says,”wearing Kurdish women’s clothes is not only not an insult, it is instead a great honor for us,” and goes on to describe how women stand side by side with men in every part of society and during wartime.
Support the campaign by liking the page! زن بودن ابزار تحقیر و تنبیه هیچ کس نیست
