How womens restrooms can be made more inclusive: a thread 🧵

1. Remove bathroom locks - locks in bathrooms create a sense of hostility and may make many folk feel unwelcome. This is particularly important for people who want access to join someone else in their cubicle. (cont..)

The removal of locks would transfer bathrooms from isolationist spaces (with notions of neoliberal individualism) into collective, social spaces, creating a better sense of community and solidarity amongst women, & facilitating more effective organization for womens liberation.

To counter some of the disappointing & predictable responses to heroic #protests in #Iran, incl in #academia, I share my recent essay which calls on academics to avoid undercutting dissident #feminist voices, incl those of #Muslim heritage

(Long) Thread

Concepts like Orientalism & Islamophobia, originally responding to realities of past & present subordination, are now sometimes used by Western critical intellectuals to discipline those who exercise their equal right to be critical of their own contexts..

while deeply committed to those contexts..

This is an important story about tech, surveillance, and college campuses. interactives.dallasnews.com/2022/social-se…

Let's talk about it a bit.

(The UNC system figures prominently: UNC, A&T, NC State. Also note: "The company also changed the name of the service from Social Sentinel to Navigate360 Detect earlier this year.:)

The promise of social media monitoring is a gift from Facebook but also an extension of our culture's obsession with carceral solutions to social change. I've talked before about how campus police is more robust than the general public realizes.

My #FGM TORTURE🩸
Agnes Pareyio Recalls Hers:
"I was 14 when my mom and grandma announced that I was going to have my clitoris, my labia majora and my labia minora cut out. They said that if I resisted I was a coward. In my culture, the worst thing you can be called is a coward.

On the day I was mutilated, I was woken up at three in the morning and taken outside, naked, because the villagers believed that if I felt the morning breeze on my body it would cool me and I would bleed less. I saw that the object they would cut me with was not sharp. I was not

offered any anaesthesia, but I was told not to cry – your father is in the house, they said, and he should never hear you cry.
I was determined to show I was not a coward, so I tried very hard not to show any emotion. As a result, I was cut deeper and I could not stop bleeding. I

2/ I was raised Catholic and believe in this (ctto via reddit)

Love thy neighbor.
All neighbors. No exceptions.

If I really hated them then I just did not hang out w them 🤷🏻‍♀️. No hateful speech or hateful laws.

"Sex work is work" is not only misogynistic, but racist & classist as well.

A research by UNICEF found that 10% of young adolescent girls admitted to having transactional sex for sanitary pads in western Kenya. They have to do it because of period poverty & the shame, stigma...

& public health misinformation which surrounds menstruation.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, the number of pregnant teenagers in Kenya increased rapidly. The African Institute for Development Policy puts the number of teenage girls who became pregnant in the country between...

January & May at more than 150,000, with Nairobi recording nearly 12k pregnancies.

This was a result of transactional sex for sanitary pads, a shower, clean water, & food. Many parents don't send their daughters to school & marry them off at a young age to relieve pressure...

To celebrate #IWD2022, we reflect on some of the work that we have undertaken to highlight the impact of gender inequality on peace and security and to encourage continued progress towards equal inclusion of #women in policy and programming.

rusi.org/explore-our-re…

The development of the Women, Peace and Security #WPS agenda in the international peace and security community has highlighted the need to include more #women.

Below, @J_White692 explains why we need more women in counter-terrorism policy and programming.

Our @Rusi_Terrorism team work across their projects to gather evidence on the role #gender plays in how and why people become radicalised.

As funders hold critical conversations on how to best support #Ukraine, here's a 🧵for #philanthropy on where to start from👇🏽

p.s. updated list of #Feminist #Young #LBTQI #Disability justice orgs is here bit.ly/3sxtjOV

Whats needed -- Sensitivity and understanding of rapidly changing local contexts and how grassroots level organizing works (at the moment but also before the war) in order to provide an adequate response to the emergency in #Ukraine

Also, active listening to the needs of feminist, queer, disability rights organizers to deeply understand what kind of funding and the quality of support is essential to consistently address the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine

In a few short days, we've moved from pundits mournfully intoning platitudes about the terrible return of war to Europe (completely ignoring the 90s, of course) to shrieking for a great power war and explaining nukes aren't that big a deal anyway.

This is political psychosis.

Actual psychopath in the wild here.

Of course, the eternal weathervane of midwit opinion is on board too.

Good morning! In about 10 minutes, we will be expanding on our discussion of Individual Causes of Delinquency by looking at #gender & #delinquency

I look forward to your questions & following along. How do you identify?

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley

The term #gender is complex, so what elements of delinquency are we going to examine in this discussion?

We are going to try to answer the question as to why gender differences are significant in the study of delinquency

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley

I think it is essential to acknowledge that gender identity is much more complex than differences between male & female offending

How anti-choice organizations are slowly making their way into respectability: a 🧵. I’ve been witnessing the slow legitimization of #antichoice orgs in global spaces and conversations and this is concerning. 10 years ago, no one save the similarly conservative would have been

Caught dead talking and strategizing with them. It’s 2022, #SRHR are under severe backlash and constant threat, yet the artisans of said backlash have access to mainstream strategic conversations and briefings. They now benefit from several platforms from which they can reinforce

Their anti #SRHR messages, in seemingly all impunity. To me this highlight two things: how conservative populist gvts have relied on these orgs to access power and rewarding them for their support by giving them time and space and how these orgs have instrumentalized human rights

Convince me that artificial reproductive technologies (ARTs) r the right choice for society & individuals to pursue rather than reducing environmental & other risk factors for #infertility & promotion of ethical #fostering & #adoption.

Convince me that having biological issue is worth ART's tremendous expense & medical risks.

If you tell me infertility is causing marital discord, I tell you that that marriage may have bigger problems.

This is going to be controversial, but here goes.
Although I do believe in #GenderEquality, I don't consider myself to be a #feminist.
I will explain the reasons why in this thread... (1/x)

First let's look at the Meriam-Webster definition of the word...

"[A] belief in and advocacy of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes expressed especially through organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests."

(2/x)

This definition: ✔️
However, the people that call themselves "feminists" don't always reflect this reality.
Even if you are committed to improving the rights of women, you might very well not be a feminist.
Why? (3/x)

Safe streets for women #ReclaimTheseStreets #ReclaimTheNight what can be done? When I was researching my book on feminist activism & particularly Reclaim the Night marches, women often gendered public space as default male. Women would say that RtN marches 'took back' 'took over'

'reclaimed' public space in their town/city centres. So much concrete, steps, bridges etc. Likewise, when on RtN marches, hostile men watching often receive these protests in exactly the same way, as incursion, trespass, invasion, takeover. Many times I've been on RtN & heard...

hostile men bystanders shout stuff like'get in the kitchen' 'go home' 'these are our streets'. So women are not wrong in perceiving public space as default male. We will not end sexualised male violence against women overnight, but we can change this messaging by changing cities.

@Qta_Balochistan

#UniOfLahore scene was created by plan & design,now this incident will take over all the other important news in media/social media. The so-called #Liberal #Feminist groups of #Pakistan will start these trends;
1. You can rape a girl in Madrassa but you can’t propose a girl @ Uni

2. You can kill ppl in Uni (examples of #Mashal will be used) but you can’t propose a boy at Uni
3. Pro-Taliban apologists are against Love
Etc...
Then the news/tweets of Threats to the lives of the boy & girl start circulating & a new debate will start all over

Then the so-called Women’s Rights groups, Human Rights groups will start a campaign with “Save the lovebirds” slogan & a new drama will start and protection will be demanded for the couple, anti groups will also come out, PR companies will be hired etc...
We know all these games!

1/ De ophef door Westerse mannen over de volleybal in Qatar begrijp ik wel: vele mannen zien gráág #vrouwen die #schaars #gekleed zijn.

Van de vrouwen is het echter jammer, dat het #patriarchaat velen van hen wijs heeft gemaakt dat vlees tonen onder de noemer "#vrijheid" valt.

https://twitter.com/Hetty81249051/status/1364346798144442370

2/ Ben je nou écht vrij, wanneer het mannelijk oog alsmaar weer op je #lichaam valt, en je #beoordeeld wordt op je #vrouwelijke #rondingen in plaats van de mooie persoon die jij van binnen bent?

3/ Ben je nou écht vrij, wanneer je weer die #maatschappelijke #druk voelt om jezelf minimaal een halfuur op te maken voor je de deur uitgaat? En nadat je dat hebt gedaan, alsnog onzeker bent over hoe je eruit ziet?
