I Love Them

the thing that’s the most wild to me about any demographic of men thinking they are ontologically incapable of misogyny is that not even women are ontologically incapable of misogyny. you can be extremely marginalized and still be able to leverage misogyny to your advantage if there is even one woman or girl who ranks lower than you do in the gender hierarchy.

you would think everyone would learn this having been a child and seeing how the most marginalized girl you knew was treated at school. kids with almost no legal power at all can get away with assaulting a disabled girl, a black girl, a poor girl, a gay or bi girl, a trans girl, a girl from a family with a targeted faith practice in her country, an immigrant girl, a nonverbal girl. the social ladder people climb is girls who are collectively selected as Okay To Abuse.

X/Formerly known as twitter user states: Hi. It's day 42, and as a Palestinian and a journalist and a woman and a Muslim let me take this opportunity to remind you: Gaza is not your poverty porn. My extended family and my people are not a charity case. My roots and my culture are not tragic or unfortunate /1 I see the US and Canadian mainstream media have woken up to Gaza coverage but from a humanitarian perspective alone. Palestinians are being portrayed as dirt poor and unsanitary and so very desperate -thus leading this part of the world to see them -at best -as mere unlucky souls. 2/ And it's become normalized here to see these unlucky souls as sacrificial lambs in pursuit of some idealized greater good. Usually an illusion, and through a Western lens. 3/ Palestinians are threatened, harassed, detained, tortured, maimed, and killed by the Israeli occupation. This has been the case for decades while most of you looked away. You don't get to look back in now just to run a sad story that makes you feel good about yourself. 4/4
