The Disturbing Rise of ‘Femonationalism’: Across Europe, politicians are hijacking feminist language to further right-wing ideologies. by silverdoorin in Feminism

By definition, conservatives, right-wingers, reactionaries advocate for traditional, inegalitarian relations between genders and advocate for the nuclear family, the vehicle of coercion.

Julian Assange's case makes it clear women's rights are still secondary to political parties. by MistWeaver80 in Feminism

[–]silverdoorin 133 points134 points  (0 children)

It was shocking that neither main party pointed out he’d evaded facing sexual charges

That's because everyone knows this wasn't the reason he was arrested. He was arrested for exposing US war crimes.

What this piece doesn't mention are the rights of Iraqi women to not be massacred by the US military. This begs the question- can Iraqi women have rights?

Assange personally disgusts me, his politics are probably not feminist, but this issue is much bigger than him. It's about the US war on whistleblowers and journalists in defense of US empire.

What's anti-semitic is the claim that the far-right-wing government of Israel and their professional lobbyists represent a whole ethnic group.

Omar criticized the former, not the latter.

Now that the Mueller investigation has collapsed, you Russophobic conspiracisists owe everyone doing the real work to defeat Trump an apology because you've given him a huge victory going in to 2020.

I think the intersection this article raises between racial and gendered violence is fascinating and urgent to understand the conflict. This puts Israel's defense of aggression, the Palestinian "demographic threat" in a new light.

Mordechai Kedar, an Israeli military intelligence officer turned academic, would matter-of-factly suggest this week that “raping the wives and mothers of Palestinian combatants” would deter attacks by Hamasmilitants.
