*The release of the Epstein files has reignited global outrage, but treating Jeffrey Epstein as an anomaly misses the terrifying reality: he is not unique. Throughout history, powerful men have utilized their status to exploit and abuse with impunity. This is a deep dive into the systems that protect abusers and why Epstein Island is just one chapter in a much longer story of patriarchal power.*

"Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex: A Black Feminist Critique of Antidiscrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory and Antiracist Politics"
by Kimberle Crenshaw, from 1989
(The original essay that coined the term "intersectionality")

#intersectionality #intersectional #feminist #blackfeminism #feminism

Everyone who has ever said or thought: "Why are you complaining about, scolding, making a big deal out, this word? There are more important things to worry about, like this fascist takeover!"

needs to listen/watch Dylan Rodríguez on Lexical Warfare. He shows how words are part of the fight, or even are the fight. Look e.g. how the right fights with "antisemitism" or "DEI." In this example, due to my limited skills, I used the words as weapons, while building a lexicon goes much further: they shape our realities, also on a material level!

Plus loads of other good food for thought and for actions.

Black women's voices shaped Black feminism by exploring the many ways Black women ceded their power to others and how they could reclaim #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackFeminism

Reification and objectification

"The notion of objectification concerns an interpersonal relationship, the individual action targeted by morality and law [...]. The notion of objectification, understood in this way, dispenses with a critical theory of society, which is central to the concept of reification. The emphasis is on individual responsibility, on the condemnation of singular acts, rather than on the social structures that demand, authorise or perpetuate these behaviours."

"In her book Dialectics of the Body, Lisa Yun Lee proposes an understanding of reification in Adorno based on the question of the body: the body forgotten by scientific modernity, the repressed body associated with nature and the feminine, the body mutilated by identity violence, and the commodity and spectacle body, instrumentalised for production (Yun Lee, 2004). "All reification is an oblivion": an oblivion of suffering, a collective anaesthesia to the effects of domination systematically organised and reproduced by reification."

"Introduced in the 1990s in the United States by black women activists, the concept of reproductive justice highlights how access to reproductive rights is impeded by gender, race and class oppressions. The entry presents the origins of the reproductive justice movement in the United States and the circulation of this notion in activist and academic spheres internationally."

Premier #vendredilecture de 2024 bell hooks "De la marge au centre", écrit en 1984 mais traduit en français par Cambourakis en 2017. 3e ouvrage que je lis de l'autrice féministe étasunienne. La préface de Nassira Hedjerassi m'a apporté un appareil critique me permettant de sans doute un peu mieux comprendre sa démarche. #Feiminisme #BlackFeminism #Wokistan #bellhooks https://www.cambourakis.com/tout/sorcieres/de-la-marge-au-centre-theorie-feministe/

bell hooks in The Will to Change:

"The core of feminist masculinity is a commitment to gender equality and mutuality as crucial to interbeing and partnership in the creating and sustaining of life. Such a commitment always privileges nonviolent action over violence, peace over war, life over death."

Hey Fediverse, #bookstodon #bookstodongermany #blackmastodon #transtodon #leftodon
I talked my #neoliberal flatmate into reading some books about #feminism / #queerfeminism / #blackfeminism or similarly #leftwing books which would challenge his worldview.

Would you mind recommending some books for this purpose? #bookrecommendation

------------------------------------------------------------

There is a LOT to challenge. Some of his opinions:

* There is no structural #racism , only bad people and Nazis are racist (He is obviously not racist) i.e. introduction to #CriticalWhiteness

* You can get rich without #exploiting people

* Colonialism is bad, but it is in the past. We should put it behind us (and #Capitalism has nothing to do with #Colonialism )

* Everything is getting better with time/Society is always moving forward (whitewashed #history )

* There are only two biological sexes/binary biological sex exists ( #trans #genderstudies )

* The police is good for society and reduces crime (and racial profiling is okay apparently) #Abolition #Abolitionism

* What is #intersectionalism ? Never heard of it.

* #communism failed because it is doomed to fail, not because the USA intervened with military whenever there was an attempt at it.

* #Liberalism is no ideology, it is the center, between left and right, and therefore the best option because it can't be extreme.

#Germany didn't profit from Colonialism. Anyway after the 2nd World war we had nothing and we rebuilt germany on our own.

------------------------------------------------------------

Pls boost if you ever wanted to give a #liberal a reading list to challenge their views...
(Also books with #german perspectives would be awesome, because we're based in Germany and its too easy to put all the problems "somewhere else")

Some Books I thought about recommending him:

* Whipping Girl (Julia Serano)

* Was weiße Menschen nicht über #Rassismus hören wollen aber wissen sollten (Alice Hasters)
(Translates to: What white persons don't want to hear about racism, but should know)

* The Dawn of Everything (David Wengrow, David Graeber)

* At The Café conversations on #Anarchism (Errico Malatesta)

* #Abolitionismus - Ein Reader (Suhrkamp)

* Capital in the Twenty-First Century (Thomas Piketty)

Sikivu Hutchinson is one of the most intellectually & relentlessly Black Humanist Feminist thinkers/activists/artists I've ever met. Her intellect is intimidating, in that way of admiration. She has never not razor criticized heteropatriarchal whiteness in the atheist movement, which has then meant that she built the space & time that she saw need for, largely locally in LA, but also through her scholarly and artistic work.

My scholarly interests are in #CriticalTheory, #IndigenousTheory, #DecolonialTheory, #BlackFeminism, #HipHop, #QueerTheory, #DisabilityTheory, #GenderTheory, #RaceTheory

Mostly a #homemaker, though, help care for my nephew & nieces & my aunt. Also a #photographer (if it's people, I take pictures of them), and while I love #Portrait, I tend to do a lot of #conference & #events & #protests & such.

Worldbuilding in Sade’s Music Videos

Sade (woman and band) is a fantasy artist. I wouldn’t be the person or writer I am today without their music videos, which were among my first lessons in worldbuilding. Every Sade video is a terrarium — a romantic microcosm with its own textu
