Dont F**k The Patriarchy
This year has made us sick. At basically every turn, 2016 forced us to reckon with toxic masculinity, bullheaded (and barely even coded) misogyny, and the seemingly endless coddling of rape culture. And then, at the end of it, as if to put a rotten cherry on the top of a shit sundae, we voted the physical manifestation of all of those challenges into the White House.
Its hard not to feel overwhelmed. Its hard to know where to start. Weve been thinking about it and talking about it constantly, and one of the simplest, most gratifying and empowering responses I can think of is for all of us to just stop giving those people pleasure. Dont fuck the patriarchy.
I cant believe that even saying this is necessary, but just to be clear: I am not saying dont fuck men. I dont hate men and I dont want civilization to grind to a halt. Im a queer woman who is married to a man. I have fucked lots of men, some of whom deserved it, and some of whom didnt. I AM saying dont fuck people who profit off of your disenfranchisement. I AM saying dont give pleasure to someone who doesnt respect your right to exist. This message isnt just for women, its for anyone who fucks men.
If someone defends a rapist, instead of a rape victim, DONT FUCK THEM.
If someone doesnt respect womens right to equal pay, DONT FUCK THEM.
If someone says no fats, fems or Asians, DONT FUCK THEM.
If someone doesnt think women should talk about, enjoy, or pursue sex, DONT FUCK THEM.
If someone tells you that actually, all lives matter, DONT FUCK THEM.
If someone tells you that hateful legislation is there for your protection, DONT FUCK THEM.snip//
