“Women who carry water for the patriarchy just so they can have a slightly longer leash and stand a few rungs up in oppression from other women, particularly marginalized women, make me a special kind of angry.

@JoBlakely To be honest nowadays it isnt a gendered struggle, its a class struggle

For every Epstein, theres a Ghislaine

@jarinks bullshit and that’s a block.

@jarinks @JoBlakely Class struggle is priority: to fight the exploitation of normal working and living people.
But one of the next important struggle is the gendered struggle. There is almost no evolution. In the seventies is was extremely hard for a woman to take part in a political discussion, if ever she managed to speak out, everybody mocked about her. Check political posts on mastodon and count the reposts/ answers on womens' posts. It's the same in daily life: silencing practice, abuse.

@Tabby_Schaf @JoBlakely to be honest mastodon is really small to do a census on all humanity
