"Nicht nur die jeweiligen Exzesse konkreter Kriege oder Konfliktparteien gilt es anzuprangern, sondern die Ursprünge des Krieges als sozialer Institution in seiner Verschränkung von Militarismus, Nationalismus, Kolonialismus und Imperialismus, Kapitalismus und Patriarchat – und auch deren Profiteur*innen. Feministische Fragen an die Normalisierung dieses systemischen Zusammenspiels zu stellen, ist längst an der Zeit. Der Vorkrieg hat schon lange begonnen."

Claudia Brunner hat das Buch "Epistemische Gewalt" verfasst, in dem sie den gewaltimmanenten Charakter von Wissensproduktion analysiert und dabei auch einen kritischen Blick auf die institutionalisierte Friedensforschung wirft. (Open Access)

Yesterday for the 1st time since moving to the States I went to a neighborhood barbecue, mostly full of typical White high middle class American families.*

It was... weird.
It was highly gender coded, wives on one side doing one thing, husbands the other doing another, barely mixing.
Like they would naturally segregate?

If that's what's normal I think it explains a lot about American politics.

*My husband never liked those. Now I know why.

"Rather than basing someone’s potential on how many hours they work, how extroverted they are, or how visible they are (favoring those not in caretaking roles), the focus should shift to actual results. How visible someone is, how assertive they are, how long they work are superficial metrics that don’t provide any insight into the quality of the work and whether it moves anything forward." - Nicole Lipkin

Those DEI hippies at *checks notes* uh, Forbes...

I made a new genner
genderre
is called
"maeprince" (fem foundation, masc extension connection and fascination)
and
paepess (masc foundation, fem extension)
and its like
when you have a strong comfortable foundation of one gender
but have a connection/extension of the other
thats not mixed up with the foundational gender
and is not dominearing over it
and is sitting right next to the foundational gender

(also is supposed to account for plurality, and headmates who have opposite genders but arent the host and are more so "guides" in a way)
