What are the traps of #patriarchy?

👰Marriage
🍼Childbirth
🚫💳Economic dependence
👫Compulsory heterosexuality

What are the far Right attacks targeting?

No fault divorce, anti-child marriage laws
Reproductive healthcare, autonomy & birth control
Workplace equity protections, wage reform
LGBTQI+ equality

Liberation demands escaping these traps.

So of course the Right is going to do what it can to protect those traps and stop white women from avoiding them.

(While WOC also exist under it, Patriarchy doesn't give a fig about WOC. We aren't the subjects that *matter.* Rather, we are lab rats so the control can really be refined.)

There is no protection under Patriarchy. Everything is control.

@DeliaChristina @Lazarou

this makes sense. white women are essential to upholding white capitalist supremacy. i wouldn’t like to say we aren’t responsible for our actions (or lack of them) but coercion (dressed as freedom) is the name of the game.

@maudenificent

I'd say it's more like the coercion is in the form of 'protection.'

Patriarchy doesn't dangle freedom as a carrot.

It dangles 'you will be taken care of.'

@DeliaChristina Meanwhile, men of color buy into a brand of it and exert those same pressures and energies in THEIR communities. Ugh.

Yep. Ain't that a mess?
