Posts like this are why I don't engage with radblr anymore. Or basically any community dominated by white people.

Look at the notes. It's filled with mostly "sex based oppression is real" as if most misogynists and feminists in India don't already know this. But since some Western feminists or from other countries don't, it's important to them to tokenize our struggles so they gain a point in their political debates. I have said this a hundred times before but it's obvious how they see us as nothing but tokens. They call TRAs racist for preying on the insecurities of woc due to beauty standards imposed on us and for ignoring our oppression as women, but they do the same thing with us. They see some issue unique to a specific community of poc? They try to fit it in their arguments against the libfems. Unlike issues that they face as well, like domestic abuse, prostitution and porn. On which they write very well researched and elaborate posts. But they're completely lazy when it comes to woc especially the ones living in the global south. And that leads to their racist and classist behavior.

As for trans people- they always try to get back at radfems by saying "terfs will look at these women and say they're men" or whatever when they see a woc talk about her own issues or even when she's simply breathing, as if it doesn't cross their own mind how they say the same thing when they go "transphobia is racist" as if woc are some third gender and as if trans poc do not experience any other meaningful oppression that's distinguishable from racism 🙄

Second of all- it's obvious many of them are racist but don't explicitly express it but some on this post did-

It's so obvious that in the second screenshot what that person means by "cultures with such barbaric practices" is "brown savages". This is blatant racism. But when I pointed out on my other post how white radfems are incapable of forming any meaningful solidarity with woc if they only focus on misogyny and not racism (which most of them are guilty of) I received my first racist backlash on here. Even many woc themselves did this. But I already talked about how woc on here are like the kind of woc who take racism seriously but not sexism in order to gain validation by moc, except it's vice verse in this case. You guys can't comprehend and accept that everytime white women try to talk about issues exclusive to any race that's not white, even if it's from a "feminist" pov, then they very likely have a racist mindset behind their words, whether it's intentional or subconscious.

Anyways, nothing about this is "cultural". (And tbh even if it's cultural why do you act like culture is influenced by race itself and not many other economic, political and social factors that white people have and still influence?).

The men who are doing this are not some unique kind of misogynistic relative to white men. Do white men not stigmatize periods? They're doing this (and I clarify I am not ok with this or defending it but I am simply fighting back against the assumption that the cause of this thing is simply cultural) because the women working on those sugarcane fields have to do extremely intensive labor for hours straight. It affects their menstrual health severely. And this is a poor country in the global south affected by economic imperialism, and therefore mostly production based with less mechanization of the agricultural industry, not like the dominant service sector in most Western countries. It's not easy for people this poor to switch to some other job with equal or better pay and better working conditions. And this particular district is especially poor. How is anything about this "cultural" and why do you think we deserve to die out because of it?

Why Women Sugarcane Cutters Of Maharashtra Seek Needless Hysterectomies - BehanBox
BehanBox
Kaij taluka (Beed district): Sugarcane cutting is relentless, backbreaking work, say the migrant women workers of Kothi village in Kaij talu

Sorry we're not as developed as Spain or some other Western country where the women here could get menstrual leaves or something and it wouldn't affect production (which is already quite low for a population this large involved in agriculture).

Instead of adopting this as a talking point against TRAs or justifying racism why don't you try to criticize both imperialism and capitalism or at least talk about the poverty and lack of resources causing these issues, if you really care for "all" women so much as you claim to. But no, you will pretend the issue is solely intentional misogyny and not involving multiple factors in it.

And btw I don't want any white woman to come in my inbox like they did last time and demand that I apologize for being rude to white women when criticizing their racism. That's never gonna happen. Especially not when most white women and even many woc don't bother with this issue. Get rid of your superiority complex this isn't the colonial era anymore.

As for Indian radfems (most of whom I have come across being bootlickers of white women)- The global south has classes too. And yk this. Just because you're a woc too doesn't mean you don't have any other bias against any other women in this country. Amazing how some of you pretend you give a fuck about the growing nationalist movement just because you're socially liberal. But how nationalists promote imperialism and capitalism in the country doesn't matter to you.

We made the Covaccine and Covishield. We completed over 1 billion vaccinations. We are way more capable than what's thought of us. But India could've avoided so many deaths if the US wasn't like this.

also re: covid vaccines, people have said this but places like India, Korea, etc are very very very good at medical research and India is the biggest distributor of vaccines. it is not "the us needs to give/donate Poor Countries medicines because they are too stupid to figure it out themselves" it is "the us copyrighted the ingredients of the vaccine and so nobody can make them outside of the country"

which is vastly more insidious than simply not performing charity

Or it's James. He was extremely concerned with Matthew's drinking, the annoyed shake may be him being annoyed at them for dredging up memories of his parabatai or may even be him sobbing or dry-heaving at Matthew's name, he was bound to Grace since childhood, Lucie risked herself for Jesse Blackthorn, he could easily recognise Alastair's dagger and to Cordelia and Alastair, Cirenworth was the home of the Carstairs. Also the wine flask may remind him of what Cordelia suffered due to Elias. He is also mentioned in the Bane Chronicles, The tales of the Shadowhunter Academy and in the epilogue of the TID series. His ring (a silver band with herons) was also given to Jace and Jace gave it to Kit. Also he was mentioned by Tessa and Clary in the epilogue of a City of Heavenly Fire.

GUYS IT COULD BE RISA OR SONA

DISLIKES MATTHEW ( Risa does, Sona could after Cordelia ran away with him) ✅

Has something to do with Alastair ✅

As a fellow Indian, I agree and hope Kamala doesn't get this treatment.

stop whitewashing cordelia.

actually i have been thinking about this since last night so i need to post. this is the latest official art that was commissioned and shared by CC. and cordelia does NOT look like a woman of colour.

Stop Whitewashing Cordelia.

THEIR SKIN TONES ARE LIKE BARELY ONE SHADE APART. i am SO mad that there are STILL whitewashed artworks being shared by CC. especially with cordelia, where there is a history of whitewashed artworks, as you can see.

Stop Whitewashing Cordelia.
Stop Whitewashing Cordelia.
Stop Whitewashing Cordelia.
Stop Whitewashing Cordelia.

now compare all these with these two art pieces and tell me they're all the same person.

Stop Whitewashing Cordelia.
Stop Whitewashing Cordelia.

let me illustrate further. in the cordelia and james art, at least a contrast can be seen between the colours of their skin. in the matthew and cordelia art, their skin tones look the same.

Stop Whitewashing Cordelia.
Stop Whitewashing Cordelia.

and i'm not much of an artist, but i do know with certainty that it's not because of the "lighting" or whatever.

cordelia is simply whitewashed in this art piece and we need to call it what it is. and this is not ok.

EDIT: please read my reblogs in the notes before commenting.

Gonna reblog this so you can see more notes. This post needs them.

Anyway, sarees are a cultural garment of South Asia and have nothing to do with religion. If you aren't Desi then don't wear them unless you're among us. As in actually in South Asia, or visiting or living among a South Asian diaspora community, at a Desi cultural event or religious space, or any instance where a Desi person invites you to wear them. Those cases are simply cultural assimilation, which is a mark of respect, so you're very welcome. Some Desi people might be uncomfortable with it if you're wearing it as a cultural showcase, like a Bollywood dance on stage, and they're allowed to be. It goes without saying that this also applies to lehenga and shalwar kameez, although those are widespread in Middle Eastern culture as well, so those dress rules can be extended to those spaces in the same way.

Cultural appropriation is primarily an immigrant and diaspora minority issue. Not that it doesn't impact the people living in our native countries, but its effects are felt first and foremost by the ones who actually have to integrate into white society.

Do buy sarees from South Asian designers and sellers, if you have appropriate events where other people will also be wearing them. That's cultural patronage. Make your own dresses out of the saree cloth. That's cultural exchange.

And if you're confused about what a white person is, it's a white-skinned person of European origin. Not whether someone is pale or tan. Hope that helps. 🌸🌸🌸🤗

White people please reblog. Thank you.

Caitlyn: The Estranged Sister Is Fine Af, Why Wouldn't I Break Her Out?
Caitlyn: The Estranged Sister Is Fine Af, Why Wouldn't I Break Her Out?
Caitlyn: The Estranged Sister Is Fine Af, Why Wouldn't I Break Her Out?

Caitlyn: The estranged sister is fine af, why wouldn't I break her out?

Caitlyn, later:

Caitlyn: The Estranged Sister Is Fine Af, Why Wouldn't I Break Her Out?

It’s kind of funny to think that Caitlyn’s plan was to just interview the tattoo goon from the airship about who he worked for and then a few days later ended up neck deep in the family drama of the single mind behind the Undercity’s organized crime that she was looking for, his mentally ill daughter who HATES her, and her estranged sister who is a prisoner that Caitlyn broke out of jail when she couldn’t interview tattoo goon because said estrange sister broke his jaw.

Leading to Caitlyn breaking the estrange sister out of prison only to learn she is a highly regarded figure in the Undercity due to her and her sister’s adopted father being the former mob boss in charge. However, he was killed by the current mob boss after said prisoner’s sister severely injured their adopted father and killed their two brothers in an attempt to save her family by using the Hextech crystals they stole from Caitlyn’s family’s beneficiary and really her only friend from the current mob boss’s first human-shimmer monster.

And all of THIS essentially boils down to a shouting match between the mob boss and sister fighting over who loves the insane teenage girl more, despite the fact that she has kidnapped all of them and has made it very clear that she is a very dangerous and unstable individual.

Oh, and this family drama will have major consequences for not just the Undercity, but Piltover and a good chunk of the world; because said mentally ill teenage girl is a genius who figured out Hextech and created a shark rocket and has just fired it at the council, because she has once again accidently killed her father and now Caitlyn’s mom is definitely going to die, because Caitlyn didn’t want to shoot the mentally ill teenager because Caitlyn is falling for her sister.

And again, all Caitlyn wanted to do was interview some random thug and prove herself as a detective and now she has untold amounts of trauma to deal with.

–

Caitlyn: I’m going to interview this prisoner and prove myself as a detective.
