Happy 24-6-01!

This was on a post about how it's ignorant and privileged to wear headphones in public and I fear its already become a part of my vocabulary. Must everything harbor a moral failure.

You two still fuck though.

oh my god i never posted this

where I do come out feeling that it's like. trade offer. the wealthiest people in non-western societies get to propagandize deeply conservative aspects of non-western society and make anyone who isn't cool with, idk, child marriage apparently, seem like the racist for not Accepting This Ancient Pre-Colonial Practice (what?); this allows for these rich people to excuse/justify the structures of oppression within their own societies that continue to benefit them presumably -- and western academia endorses this point of view so that they can feed their guilt complexes about how powerfully evil the west is and pat themselves on the back for Really Caring About Those Others and also use this propaganda about non-western societies as some kind of eat pray love about how the world used to be queer, wow, let's all buy mass produced t-shirts with culturally-inspired designs (which culture? no one is asking this) about it or something. The fact that Oyěwùmí seems to get away with calling statistics white people shit feels racist in of itself. There seems to be like....how do I put this. Either westerners slander non-western nations as barbaric savages with backwards practices, or they decide to be enlightened and swallow down the idea that math could never truly represent a non-western nation, and that gender segregation in a non-western society is Okay Actually, and "that's just how they do it over there smh it's racist and colonial mindset to be upset about misogyny." In both cases the west is in a way treated as some sort of default, and in both cases the "non-west" (most of the planet) is dehumanized, where either their cultures as a whole are evil and unchanging and full of violence (and this will be used to justify any invasion...), or any systems of oppression where misogyny for example is reinforced are actually totally okay because That's How Those Non-People Over There Do It With Their Weird Incomprehensible But Ancient Enlightened Culture! ...you get what i'm saying? it's like....it's like any non-western society can't actually be a complex and living thing. It's either that all of it is worth it, or none of it is worth it. It's the type of ideology where people justify killing palestinians because "they would throw gay people off the roof!!" and the usage of work by a princess who justifies child betrothal as a cultural practice to fuel decolonial queer feminist theory or whatever have exactly the same root, just -- two diametric sides of the same coin. at the end of the day, everyone who isn't a westerner looking to clout chase by slurping third gender juice or a wealthy non-westerner doing image PR still continues to suffer under multiple systems of oppression and get treated like a non-person. no one is saved by any of this.

Don't see us as fucking Violent or Noble savages? See us as fucking people?

the rainbow connection or whatever 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩
