Genocide aided, armed, and abetted by the U.S will not be less worse if the U.S. gets its first Black woman president. Genocide is not any less worse if it continues under the watch of a vice president who is a positive role model for masculinity. i wrote that essay before the DNC. Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza will be no less worse under the watch of an historic Harris-Walz administration. Feminism is not merely a woman in a position that has never been held by a woman before. Feminism is a woman in a position of power who uses that power to destroy, not uphold, patriarchy. And what is genocide but patriarchy writ large; toxic masculinity drunk on its power and ability to dominate, to obliterate, to kill, maim, and terrorise women, children, and men. https://www.feministgiant.com/p/essay-feminism-vs-genocide

CW: femicide, rape Home is where the hurt is. Private, hidden, that space cleaned and cared for by women, that space headed and ruled by men, that space where women are most endangered. And it is men they know, love or once loved, men they are related to, who most endanger women–not stranger danger but men they know.

My new Wonder Chronicle is on the wonders of a woman’s voice—43 wonders! The Taliban’s latest decree bans women’s voices: “A woman’s voice is deemed intimate and so should not be heard singing, reciting, or reading aloud in public.” They have created the worst women’s rights crisis in the world today, distilling their hatred of women into the perfect patriarchy, a template for the total control of women. If a woman’s voice is “intimate and so should not be heard singing, reciting, or reading aloud in public,” then what a threat a woman’s voice is to those misogynist fucks! I celebrate the wonder of a woman’s voice! And you can hear my voice reading this essay! Link to essay in bio and stories. https://www.feministgiant.com/p/the-wonder-chronicles-18

My newsletter FEMINIST GIANT turns FOUR today! Thank you to all subscribers and readers! Biggest thanks to paid subscribers, whose generosity has helped me keep my writing free and acessible to all. Love and solidarity! 💜✊🏽❤️ https://www.feministgiant.com
Monday! NYC! FEMINIST GIANT and @strandbookstore feminist book club returns in August and I am thrilled to announce that I’ll be conversation with @ashathanki and @sadeyea, on their latest books A Thousand Times Before and In Exile: Rupture, Reunion, and my Grandmother’s Secret Life. Our in-person discussion on August 26 is free to attend but registration is required. Link at FEMINIST GIANT About A Thousand Times Before: A heartrending family saga following three generations of women connected by a fantastic tapestry through which they inherit the experiences of those that lived before them, sweeping readers from Partition-era India to modern day Brooklyn. Ayukta is finally sitting down with her wife Nadya to respond to a question she’s long avoided: Should they have a child? The decision is complicated by a secret her family has kept for centuries, one that Ayukta will be the first to share with someone outside their bloodline: the women in her family inherit a mysterious tapestry, through which each generation can experience the memories of those who came before her. About In Exile: In a deeply personal investigation, award-winning journalist Sadiya Ansari takes us across three continents and back a century as she seeks the truth behind a family secret. Why did her grandmother Tahira abandon her seven children to follow a man from Karachi to a tiny village in Punjab? And though she eventually left him, Tahira remained estranged from her children for nearly two decades. Who was she in those years when she was no longer a wife or mother? For Sadiya herself, uninterested in marriage and children, the question begets another: What space is available to women who defy cultural expectations? Through her inquiry, Sadiya discovers what her daadi’s life was like during that separation and she confronts difficult historical truths: the pervasiveness of child marriage, how Partition made refugees of millions of families like hers, and how the national freedoms achieved in 1947 did not extend to women’s lives.
