Every now and again I buy "large" cleaning/kitchen gloves at the store. They are always way too small for my hands which are normal sized man hands and these are always the largest gloves of this kind available in stores. Of course, I have no problem buying work gloves that fit my hands. I have to order cleaning gloves online. #patriarchy

This is a complex conversation, as @ImaniBarbarin points out in her other posts on TT.

Because the upshot is division. A rending of community by white supremacy. It will be easy for unthinking neo-lib types to watch this conversation and waaaay down deep feel their fear of Black men is justified.

It will be easier for our brothers to fall down a rabbit hole of right wing patriarchal propaganda
since 'uppity Black women who don't know their place' are now a shared enemy.

And if Black women, who have been historically -- and continue to be -- the bulwark and connections for multiple liberatory movements not only have to fight The Man but also *our* men - how sustainable is that? That's exhausting.

But here we are. Good job, Patriarchy+White Supremacy. You won this round.

RSS ideologue Krishna Gopal claims curbs on women ‘had to be imposed’ because of Islamic invasions

According to Gopal, Ram and Krishna were married after reaching a certain age but due to Islamic invaders, child marriage started. He said before Islamic invasions, there was no tradition of ‘sati’ in India.

The Aggrieved Aggressor’s Handbook many powerful men use when caught out, according to Arwa Mahdawi:

Step one: claim she was asking for it.

Step two: cast yourself as the victim.

Step three: weaponize the women in your life.

Big man Luis Rubiales has his mother on hunger strike for him, and big man Spazzo Pezzola had his wife and mother in the courtroom pleading his case.

Zimmer asks when precisely that golden era of free speech for which centrists hanker for us to return was in place. He answers:

"Unless we are talking about wealthy white Christian men only, it makes little sense to construct a version of U.S. history in which previous eras were characterized by greater freedom while the very recent past has been marked by a loss of free speech."

"The frequently invoked 'consensus' of the post-World War II era, for instance, was depending on both major parties agreeing that white patriarchal rule would remain largely untouched. …

"It wasn’t a coincidence that 'polarization' started when one party broke with the white elite consensus and supported – albeit reluctantly – the civil rights revolution of the 1960s."

So... Do you remember where we called out a commentator on our Instagram for making really sexist remarks about @realsexycyborg?

Well apparently a while back he emailed us and WHOOO BOY!

This is a GREAT example on what NOT to be like in the hacker community.

Holy shit!

In 1953 the U.S. National Weather Service began to identify hurricanes by female names.

The current system of alternating male and female names came into use for Pacific storms in 1978 and for Atlantic storms in 1979.

By now it seems clear that a whole range of people who hate him or how he wields his power, are coming out and taking this opportunity to topple him. Including, potentially, #jennihermoso
Seems like lots in common between #futbolfemenino for Spain and #womensfootball for England, in terms of having to tolerate and work with #patriarchy and #misogyny. Same #InstitutionalViolence that #enialuko #aluko suffered from her coach, her #FA but also her teammates who did wild #antiBlackness

For those of us (myself included) who do not know what an #abaya is.

I suspect the French government 🇫🇷 doesn't know what it is either, and should mind it's own business about what women wear!

Only WOMEN should decided what clothes to put on in the morning.

The #patriarchy is when the Spanish women win the football world cup, but then some white guy gets all uppity because he's accused of assault, and suddenly the debate is all about him and his morals, and not about the feats of the women's team.

It has been brought to my attention by a number of you that comparing the penis brains at the Spanish Football Federation to Neanderthals is patently unfair to Neanderthals.

I just wanted to state for the record that I agree wholeheartedly and apologise profusely for any offense caused to actual Neanderthals who, I’m sure, would have been appalled by the behaviour of the knuckle-draggers at the Spanish Football Federation.
