"Violent patriarchy requires aiding and abetting, willful silence and complicity.
"Media coverage that puts these four deaths on equal footing is all of that. Saying there’s no threat to the general public when 70+ women in the US are shot and killed by a partner every damn month is too."

'Lewis takes up a debate with several Black feminists who have, at various times, questioned the idea of family abolition, whose central argument has been that, very often, Black families have been sites of resistance against racism. Similarly, we could point to many experiences of class struggle in which sectors of working families have played a key role against the attacks of capital: supporting strikes, establishing relations of solidarity between factories and neighborhoods, staging rent strikes, maintaining soup kitchens, creating movements in defense of public services, and many other forms of resistance. The tradition of “women’s commissions” in strikes, for example, has allowed the working class to articulate fighting forces far beyond the workplace.
'To this criticism Lewis responds that, even so, we should not cease working for the abolition of the family, since we would not need its “protective shield” if we managed to build a society without racism. The argument contains a grain of truth, but it stops halfway. It fails to contemplate the role that the family relations within sectors of the working class and oppressed can play in moments of heightened class struggle. On another level, it doesn’t account for the fact that capitalism, while it needs such a “social cell” for its own reproduction, constantly undermines working families’ very conditions of existence. Marx and Engels remarked on this in the mid-19th century, pointing to the length of the working day, the lack of decent housing, and the general precariousness of working class life.'

The persistence of heteronormativity is not only due to the weight of social conventions and norms, but also to material conditions of existence: being in a couple means having more resources. Sophie Lewis asserts that the conditions of heterosexuality are inseparable from economic realities: ‘Most women are too overworked, too exhausted by the demands of capitalism and its culture of compulsory enjoyment to even have the opportunity to learn to love.’
Sophie Lewis wrote ‘Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation’

Dear People who hold the most power in a household.
You can't expect the other people in your household to simultaneously:
a) give precedence to your needs and feelings about things all the time,
b) be happier when you're around than when you're not there.
Those two things just don't go together. 🤷♀️

Links between gender stereotypes and American patriotism date from the Cold War − but weren’t true then either https://theconversation.com/links-between-gender-stereotypes-and-american-patriotism-date-from-the-cold-war-but-werent-true-then-either-244464
Women were central to Cold War-era international debates about the two competing political and economic systems. On both sides of the Iron Curtain, governments used references to women’s happiness as proof their respective models provided good lives for their population, even though reality was often different.

Thousands of suspected modern slavery victims have had their cases rejected in a Home Office crackdown on so-called “bogus claims,” putting vulnerable people at risk.
Very concerning, inc example of domestic worker forced to work long hours and abused by her employer, who (as will often be the case) lacked paperwork to prove abuse, having her claim rejected on the basis she had “left” her exploiters rather than escaping.

On #InternationalAuPairDay, this joint letter to Grant Shapps at the Dept for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy requests delivery on the govt's commitment to repeal the 'Family Worker Exemption.'
The exemption means live-in domestic workers lack a clear entitlement to the minimum wage where they are 'treated as a family member.' The letter was coordinated by Nanny Solidarity Network and signed by a number of other organisations
