Kids will die because of this. Last month, a young queer AB woman I interviewed said her trans partner took their life last year because of the hateful climate. The UCP’s use of this clause is unconscionable #abpoli

Call me a hater but I think living in a world where both trillionaires and global poverty coexist is a sign humanity has failed as a species

En el mes del orgullo quisiera hablar de la filosofa lesbiana Marilyn Frye quien planteo hace 40 años en su tesis algo que sigue incomodando: la cultura masculina heterosexual es, en realidad, homoerotica. Todo o casi todo lo que es propio del amor, la mayoría de los hombres heteros lo reservan exclusivamente para otros hombres (lealtad, admiracion, respeto, la reverencia, la imitación, el deseo de aprender y ser reconocidos por alguien, los vínculos profundos) La mayoría de las cosas que hacen los hombres son para impresionar otros hombres: posesiones, trabajo, inclusive las mujeres que las muestran como trofeos. A las mujeres le piden devoción, servicio y sexo. Lo que ofrecen cómo respeto hacia ellas suele ser paternalismo, y lo que llaman "honor" es ponerlas en un pedestal, porque es una forma de control, no de respeto. El patrón se nota hasta en los gestos mas cotidianos. Ven deportes porque se supone que les gusta los deportes, pero solo ven deportes practicados por otros hombres, como si lo que les gustara fuera que los practican ellos, más que el deporte en sí. Escuchan con desdén a una mujer y luego asienten cuando un hombre repite exactamente lo que ella dijo. El contenido no cambió, cambia quien lo emitio. Defienden ideologías machistas, misoginas, racistas y autoritarias muchas veces no por convicción profunda sino porque adoptarlas les compra la pertenencia a un grupo de hombres. Los hombres aman a otros hombres (en el sentido amplio: los admiran, los respetan, viven para su mirada) y usan a las mujeres como instrumentos de ese vinculo: como trofeos, como conquista, como contraste para definirse como hombres de verdad. Hasta el dios que adoran es hombre. Lo imaginan padre, lo llaman señor, le rezan como al patriarca celestial que crea con la palabra, desde afuera, sin cuerpo y sin entrañas. Pero la creación de la vida en la tierra ocurre dentro del cuerpo de una mujer. Lo mas cercano a dios que existe en la experiencia humana: es una mujer. Esa es la tragedia silenciosa del amor heterosexual en el patriarcado: las mujeres se enamoran, paren hijos, envejecen al lado de hombres que, en el fondo, las detestan. Duermen abrazadas a quienes, si tuvieran que elegir entre su dignidad y la aprobación de otros hombres, elegirían a los otros hombres sin pensarlo. A pesar de ser heterosexuales, actúan como si odiaran a las mujeres: las critican, no las escuchan, las engañan, las maltratan. Las matan. -Resumen sacado del instagram conciencia.inquieta

In April, Harvey Weinstein’s third New York trial began in Manhattan criminal court without leaving much of an impression, even at the courthouse. There were no lines and few news cameras; far more people were camping outside the federal courthouse a few blocks away, where a soldier was pleading not guilty to using confidential information to bet on the ouster of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro. “Surveying the empty pews in the room, I wondered if I was in the wrong place. Two seasoned court watchers assured me I wasn’t. (‘Did I meet you at Diddy?’ one asked.),” writes Irin Carmon. “When the once-feared mogul — now close-shaven and pale — was wheeled in from Rikers, there were fewer than ten spectators in the courtroom. Only a few more trickled in as testimony began.” Weinstein was the Ur-villain of the Me Too moment, the one everyone was supposed to agree on. The reporters who broke the stories about him shared a Pulitzer Prize; the women who put themselves on the line were named Time’s Person of the Year; actresses launched Time’s Up and linked arms with activists at the Oscars. The first Weinstein trial, in early 2020, was a veritable circus — celebrities held court and a flash mob chanted bilingual slogans in formation. It’s been a long six years. As his criminal cases have made their way through the system, much of the world has subtly shifted back in his favor. At minimum, many have moved on.

Another rape culture indicator is "she gave it up too easy" if you both want it why should there be a struggle? The expectation of resistance to make the sex feel like a conquest is rape culture.

RT @JackDunc1: Just a reminder that someone burned down a queer bar packed full of people the other day, and it was a footnote in the news.

I enjoy the proper framing of a "colonial era law". People don't realize just how much homophobia has been forced on much of the world. Queer liberation is intertwined with battling colonialism and imperialism.
