#patriarchy
Women’s rights and bodily autonomy are under attack, but it’s important we remember the role medical misogyny plays in endangering our lives.
It’s not new, and it’s only getting worse.
When I wanted a tubal ligation, I was denied because I wasn’t married and thus couldn’t get my husband’s ‘permission’.
When I was told I was unlikely to survive a pregnancy, I asked again and again I was denied because I might ‘meet a man who wants kids.’
When I needed a hysterectomy, doctors sought the permission of my 22 year old boyfriend of less than THREE months. They asked him if he would leave me when I became ‘barren’.
Men who want a vasectomy do not have to jump through these hoops. Their body, their choice.
None of us should need a man to consent in order to get the care we want and need.
It’s archaic, patriarchal bullsh*t and we must keep calling it out.

@BBCNews @top-stories-BBCNews and how does a Trans Bathroom ban prevent this from happening again?
It's been one week since 'Women won over the Queers" and how are we all feeling?
Are the Women feeling 'safer' now, feeling gratitude towards JK Rowling?
And who cares what us Queers think, certainly not our Press, who don't want to talk to us.
This is an older article from February 2025, but I thought it might be worth sharing here in the wake of Trump's attempts to transform the civil rights section at the Department of Justice into a fascist attack dog that works only to further his authoritarian ideological goals. Within three weeks of Downmarket Mussolini's inauguration, the regime had already repurposed the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights towards prosecuting Trump's Christian Nationalist agenda, while actively sidelining investigations into racial abuse, disability access, and even sexual assault.

“We’ve Been Essentially Muzzled”: Department of Education Halts Thousands of Civil Rights Investigations Under Trump
"In the three-and-a-half weeks since Donald Trump returned to the presidency, investigations by the agency that handles allegations of civil rights violations in the nation’s schools and colleges have ground to a halt.
At the same time, there’s been a dramatic drop in the number of new cases opened by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights — and the few that attorneys have been directed to investigate reflect some of Trump’s priorities: getting rid of gender-neutral bathrooms, banning transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports and alleged antisemitism or discrimination against white students."
I don't really think it's a coincidence that Trump and his Education Secretary Linda McMahon (a woman extremely active in the cause to privatize education and promote religious voucher schools) immediately prioritized the same winger bullshit at the DOE as the regime is now trying to force the DoJ's civil rights division to pursue; namely discrimination against white people, alleged antisemitism, and women's rights - but only in the extremely narrow context of keeping trans women out of women's sports and bathrooms. This is a Christian Nationalist government, actively working to install a Christian Nationalist political and social order on the United States by whatever means legal, or extralegal, it requires to do so.
None of these Politicians are going to actually ask Women if all these Anti-trans bills and laws are making them feel safe, because they know they don't.
How often do you hear this called out in the Discourse though?
There's something about that Terf post on "now we come for the Forrins" that I can't qwhite put my finger on...../s
Every week, a story about a Policeman Rapist.
Never a Trans women. Oh, they'll be victims of Rape, more likely to be victims actually, but never actually the perp.
But it's every fucking week a UK Policeman is caught doing something against Women, and yet Joanne says nothing?!
According to Politicians, 'Trans Women' are the number one threat to Women in the country, not cishet men with a bit of power.....never them!

Pope Francis was also a #sexist. He was the head of a LITERAL #patriarchy. Because the position of pope as well as a lot of other important positions in the Church) is man-only. He both benefitted and was head of a LITERAL patriarchy, i.e. a system where men call all the shots.
He therefore was a sexist. It's inherent to the role.
He was anti-#abortion, too (which is an anti-women position IMO).
Key point about robot police is,.....they don't have dicks.
Also 'battery life'

@gemelliz this is how I'd imagine they'd take away Abortions (for the Poor) in the UK.
’the patriarchs: how men came to rule’ is a journey through time and the diversity of cultural #heritage to uncover the origins of #patriarchy.
angela saini guides the reader through an immense amount of sometimes conflicting and bewildering information while creating a sense of suspense and anticipation that is rare in #nonfiction.

#tradwives #Australia #patriarchy #WhiteSupremacy
"A group of Australian women dress in flowing white gowns and flower crowns, but the hyper-innocent aesthetic is masking a very different reality.
These women spend their days mirroring a life 70 years in the past — that of the ultra-feminine traditional housewife.
They are largely housebound, bake cakes and breads for their husbands and know never to speak back.
Their lives are centred around the idea of establishing a 'village' just for them — encircled by their children and their childrens’ children and so on.
It sounds virtuous enough, but the picture-perfect domesticated bliss they are advertising is intrinsically linked to something more sinister — patriarchy and white supremacy.
These Australian 'trad wives' are married to prominent far-right activists. Criteria for membership is simple enough: Be young, white, fertile and willing to raise the next generation of Australia’s neo-Nazis.
'There are women in the organisation who are hateful and Nazis, some underage, many who have been brainwashed,' said a spokesperson for the White Rose Society, a group of anti-fascist researchers who have spoken extensively to ex-wives who managed to get out."
That Billionaire in her castle utterly indifferent to the shit Women have to go through, she just wants to win an argument.
