That Dasha or Anna ever had anything insightful to say, a chunk of my brain seemingly melts away. Nothing of worth coming from two terfs who can’t even compel themselves to stop calling people the r slur.
spectacularly stupid individual. i support hot mentally ill women tho
I don’t like this comment because it gives men of color a pass on doing this shit, too. It may have been invented by the mayos, but let’s not pretend that black and Latino men haven’t fully bought in to the patriarchy. Read anything by Zora Neale Hurston or Sandra Cisneros if you need confirmation.
“Their Eyes Were Watching God” is fantastic. It’s fiction, but informed by Hurston’s experience growing up in Eatonville, a black town that formed in the post-reconstruction south. It started as a very egalitarian community, but eventually fell to exploitation of blacks by other blacks who had accumulated some wealth. There’s also a fair amount of discourse on black on black racism, as those with lighter skin were seen as superior to darker skinned people within the community.
“Woman Hollering Creek” is a really good short story by Cisneros that discusses the role of women in Mexican-American culture and toxic masculinity, misogyny and abuse.
Oppression of women by means of motherhood has shown up in most cultures, that’s the secret ingredient that pushes you past hunter gatherers. Women get made into broodmares, patterns of inheritance through family are established, land is fought for, farming improves, and so on. Maternal instinct might be a euro phrase, but that concept is almost omnipresent
