this is the article:

I could not more strongly recommend reading the entire article, it’s absolutely devastating but it’s a very important read. It’s a chilling indictment of the way drug addicted women are horrifically mistreated, exploited, and so often forgotten about if not further victimized by the very people who claim to want to help them

By the way, face covering IS part of Gulf Arab culture.

It also says a lot that you cherry picked images of women without headcoverings like the example for Bosnia even though headscarves are part of Balkan folk clothing including for Christians like Greeks and Serbs. You clearly don't know anything.

And I don't have a problem with Arabs. I have a problem with arab imperialism. Because if they hadn't invaded our country and forced their barbaric religion on us, millions of girls like me wouldn't be forced into this fucking cult. You can all pretend that arab imperialism isn't real and that only the British invaded us but fact remains that both Arabs and the British irreparably damaged our country. I was taught to read and write arabic at the age of 6 by an ustad who would pinch my arm for every little mistake. so hard that it would bleed but I wasn't allowed to cry or complain because I'm learning a "holy language". At the age where I should've been eating mud, I learnt to hide my pain and smile. You tell us to learn your superior godly language and visit your godly worship site in Saudi Arabia and I'm supposed to pretend that shit is not imperialism?

I know face covering is a part of arab culture that's exactly why I tagged this as #arab imperialism ? I don't care about your culture. Just don't force that shit on us.

And I did not cherry pick pictures of women without head coverings tf ☠️ are you blind? there's like 5 or 6 women in that picture with head coverings.

a lot of women are peaking on tiktok because transwomen dogpiled one black girl for talking about female oppression (what’s new?) and now that other women are jumping to her defense and pointing out that they never felt like transwomen cared about women’s rights and expected unquestioning fealty they’re just dropping the feminist act all together. in what world does someone who is ambivalent about trans people at worst warrant them wishing death and unwanted pregnancies on them? how are women still doing olympic level gymnastics to defend these men???

these people are standing next to you seething because you’re talking about how roe v wade effects you, because you broke up with your bf when you found out he is in the manosphere, because you said you were feeling bad from your period. they’re going to reddit to post cisfoid death or complain that you made him feel excluded. they won’t ever be on your side.

She needed to hear that femininity and beauty rituals aren’t what makes her a girl or a woman. She needed female friends and rolemodels.

-I was checking in two girls and knew something was off and asked to see both their ID’s. Only one had a passport and her 18th birthday was literally a week ago. The other one handed me her high school student card. We had to call the police when their pimp came in and started making threats bc we refused to check them in.

-a sex worker checked in the night before and a housekeeper went into the room the next morning and found the woman in a bloody mess. There were chunks of human tissue scattered throughout the room (the housekeeper quit after that. Honestly, housekeepers are literally on the front lines of the bullshit but that’s another story)

-something about a “couple” was offfffffff at check in. The woman was standing with her hands behind her back, had her eyes glued to the floor, and wouldn’t answer questions despite her name being on the reservation. The man was answering for her. When I asked to see her ID, he hands it to me, and when I handed it to her, her arms were covered in bruises. We didn’t let them check in

-there are two properties and one of them has an agreement with a women’s shelter. I’ve checked in women into one property only to see them come in months later to the other property under the womens shelters’ reservation with bruises and broken limbs (many of whom are indigenous women).

taking female spaces away doesn’t just deprive women of safety, but also solidarity, dignity and trust. female spaces need to exist because men are consistently historically and statistically proven to be a threat, but also because women have been deprived the ability to exist and especially congregate without male supervision by all highly misogynistic societies, as women are safer and less vulnerable when they are together or know there are women who they can trust.

this obviously isn’t just about bathrooms. as it stands, in my country, women cannot form their own groups without a male being allowed in at any time. we are not allowed to formally congregate without male supervision.

This is also seen in the trans community. People look up to trans women, listen to what they say, and think about them before the opinions and presence of female trans people, because they are male. The ranting and condemnations of trans women are taken far more seriously than a trans man's, and trans men use them to legitimize their own gender feelings, because they are still subconsciously searching for the opinions of a male to validate them.

It’s looking like a TERF summer girls
