"...you can’t solve the problem apart from the problem. You can’t be liberated from male chauvinism if you don’t even deal with it--if you run away from it. And I think forming any separate organization with that in mind is negating or contradicting what you’re setting out to do...simply because of the fact that we are members of the Black Panther Party and are therefore in the vanguard, does not necessarily mean that we can deem ourselves champions of women’s liberation. We believe that male chauvinism must be stomped out, because we have come to realize that it is bourgeois... whether or not we will become champions of women’s liberation, whether or not we’ll be able to provide the example to lead other organizations towards women’s liberation will come thru our practice."
reminder that the US government was perfectly willing to ignore the actions of the nazis until imperial japan directly attacked one of its military bases. before that, all of the warning signs of genocide were ignored and war in Europe, Oceania, and East Asia were all treated like something that wasn't their problem, and refugees from fascist states were routinely turned away at our borders. the main reason they helped stop the holocaust was because nazi germany was an ally of imperial japan.
our government has always been this way. unless isreal directly attacks the US military or US government, it is unlikely that they will do anything to stop this genocide and will keep aiding in it against the wishes of their people. because to the US, war crimes are only war crimes when our enemies do them, and the same goes for genocide.
if UN is worth anything, they will call for the leaders of isreal and the leaders of all countries aiding them to be brought before the Hague. as far as i am concerned, the US, UK, and isreal are part of a new axis of evil that goes unimpeded by an organization that should have prevented this from ever happening again and that has ignored/failed to stop countless genocides and war crimes.
our government is run by ghouls who do not represent us in an oligarchical government that calls itself democratic. they need to be stopped.
With ecofeminism, the political focus turns outwards. Its first premiss is that the ‘material’ resourcing of women and of nature are structurally interconnected in the capitalist patriarchal system.

The Chipko Movement
“ When their appeals were denied, Bhatt led a group of villagers into the forest and embraced the trees to prevent logging. After many days of agitation, the government canceled the company’s logging permit. The Chipko movement can essentially be called a women’s movement. Women, being solely in charge of cultivation, livestock and children, suffered the most due to floods and landslides, caused due to rise in deforestation in the face of urbanisation. ”

When I see plastic surgery like this, I don't feel disgust for the women. I feel disgust for the society that convinced them their noses are not beautiful
