Palestine is not something you can learn about on, or adequately support on based information from, lefty Twitter or Tiktok.
You must read. Extensively.
You must become a student of history.
You must be intellectually willing to make yourself profoundly uncomfortable.
I study sexual violence in conflict and I feel like that makes me qualified to say that it's not some sort of gotcha. It's horrific and condemnable and something every single armed group in history is probably guilty of.
It's a separate conversation really.

Young babies, like under 4 months, are incapable of learning to self sooth or "self reliance." They literally don't know anything; they don't even have object permanence yet. And they're certainly not capable of "manipulation."
Of course Palestinian fighters raping Israeli women is disgusting and cannot be justified.
But Zionists using that as some sort "is this what a free Palestine looks like" is a joke because they are equally guilty. The extent of mass rape during the Nakba was incomprehensible.
Sexual violence in conflict is never about one side vs the other. It's never about how moral or immoral a cause is.
Because they ALL do it. Every country. Every resistance group. War gives men easy sexual access to women, and sexual violence becomes a way for soldiers to prove

@thedigitaldash_
Normal people don't dress up for Target, it's just influencers who have weirdly decided that going to Target is content
their masculinity to themselves and each other. They are all equally condemmable on this matter. This is the silent war that men have been waging against women since the dawn of time.
And it absolutely does need to be addressed. But it shouldn't be weaponized against the cause

Why are y'all acting like people owe it to you to let you bring a random friend to their wedding?
Most people plan a wedding within their budget and conclude that plus ones aren't in the budget! What do you want people to sacrifice for you to bring a friend?
It's weird the way men want us to think this is a serious social issue.
I think I'm pretty normal and nice and I didn't have a serious relationship until I was 24. This is literally a non-issue. Why should anyone care?
@MrsDMaths
I've so confused at everyone saying this is more comfortable???? Sometimes I wear dresses specifically because I don't want anything tight around my waist/hips. I have never worn shorts under a skirt/dress and never will, sorry. Sounds horrendous.

But contact is another box you should check along with hunger, diaper change etc. Physical contact with their parents is a genuine psychological need for infants.

@heshidicjudaism
Gen Z don't really eat any worse than we did and overmedication also started with our generation. I've seen people freaking out over high school kids not having sex multiple times. It's weird. They don't need to be.
Women are also much better at being alone. We are better at cultivating internal satisfaction and happiness.
Men will make fun of women for romanticizing our daily lives and then complain about how terrible their life is and expect a girlfriend to fix it for them.
lonely women in their 20s are so much stronger than lonely men in their 20s. like we just get a dog or a cat and some vibrators, not a rifle and homicidal ideology

I personally will not be inviting anyone's partner if they've been together for less than a year or if I haven't met them. Y'all seem to be speaking to a hypothetical situation where you get an unnamed +1 but it HAS to be a romantic partner and I've never heard of that.
i love sha’carri bc not only is she the best runner in the world (yes, including usain bolt, their 100m dash times are less than 1 second apart & she is only 5’1” while he’s 6’5”) but she does it in fishnets & full glam with her hair down & nails done

Okay but I have literally never in my life heard of "you get a plus one but it has to be romantic" LOL. Like this is not real. Y'all are mad over nothing. An unnamed guest is just that. You don't have to run it by the couple and you can bring your mom for all anyone cares.
In Northern Ireland telling the truth is sectarian.
In Israel telling the truth is antisemitic.
In Canada telling the truth is against the spirit of reconciliation.
All over the world colonialism operates to make it so that the truth is erased from acceptable public discourse.
@TheGiantJake
No it doesn't hurt but it's phenomenally stupid to be trying to ruin someone's career over Starbucks when you are literally unknowingly buying BDS products on a weekly basis
Why are there so many "feminists" on my timeline right now without a single clue of the daily realities in Gaza and who apparently think Palestinian men are the only ones who commit sexual violence LOL
@seintlaurent
These comments are so awful ESPECIALLY the girl on the right because those are completely normal. I'd say she looks young for her age even. People who say they don't look like that at 27 literally just aren't looking at their faces closely.
@LastKingLeo
@Shawdaaaa
Sorry for your loss that's not what she's talking about 😭 caring for your spouse when they're sick is something we're all obligated to do. She's talking about when people give up on things they want to make a relationship work.

Anyone who still thinks this is a working class movement or "worker solidarity" needs to think again. Shutting down Windsor's auto industry is the exact opposite of that.

The point of studying your own country's history is to understand why things are the way they are today, not to exonerate your country by comparing it to others. We don't teacc history just to observe it, but to learn from it.

I'm only a hair under 5'8" and when I was 120 lbs I looked emaciated and sickly. She's 140 at LEAST. Especially being muscular.

So the problem is the double standard, not what Bernie actually did? The expectation for women to always look poised and polite needs to change. It doesn't mean men need to voluntarily put themselves under the same stupid pressure.

Yes, the boycott is good! But people aren't doing the reading. People are claiming Starbucks funds genocide while failing to boycott any of the companies that actually do.

@gay_lumberjack
This is wild. Again supporting my theory that men think "history" only means the history of war an empire.
Women very much are interested in the history of lots of things but men have blinders on because their interest is very narrow.
@Schrebetwittig
And men totally do acknowledge the loneliness of women. They just mock it mercilessly.
They screech about how we're going to end up alone with 17 cats on SSRIs with empty lived and no one to care for us, then turn around and say we could never fathom how lonely they are.
@caiuscorioles

@strangestloop
How would you ever know since you're not a woman?
You're right in the sense that no one can ever fully know what another is experiencing. Given that, it's very odd that so many men assume women don't feel loneliness like they do.
@YorkUniversity
I'm sure the entire York community would LOVE to know what actual material harm has come as a result of this statement, compared to the thousands of Gazans who have been killed in the last two weeks, the multiple hospitals bombed, and the 2000-year old church destroyed today.
I just really really REALLY hope I see all of you condemning the sexual violence Palestinian woman face daily at the hands of the Zionist entity going forward.
For anyone who is as ill-informed as Tadhg, March 8th was originally International Working Women's Day. Its roots are Marxist and working class.
And if you didn't see anyone talking about women in the global south, that is a reflection who YOU follow and surround yourself with.
@thomasaredmond
@natbiase
Like you need to understand that 123 lbs at 5'10" is not "thin" and will not look good on anyone, or be healthy on anyone, literally every.
Of course sexual and gender based violence is never justified. But if you actually cared, if you actually "refuse to allow women to be collateral damage," you would have been speaking out against Israel LONG ago.

I mean, boycotting Starbucks isn't really "going out of your way." You're not being asked to actively do anything, just passively stop shopping at a couple places. It's not like it's strenuous lol
Men screech about how women end up alone on SSRIs with empty lives and no one to care for us, then turn around and say we could never fathom how lonely they are.
They do understand that woman can also be lonely- it's just that they think we deserve it for not being with them.

Smoking is definitely worse than having sugar in everything. Not sure what the stats are on guns. You are severely underestimating how many people smoking kills.

Well conscription is mandatory for all Israelis plus all Israelis are settlers whose presence is perpetuating genocide. So wherever you draw the line for what type of violence is okay against Israeli men, then the same is true for women. Gender-based violence is different.

DISNEY is sending GUNS? Disney makes guns????
Anyways you should trust the BDS organization who has been doing this work for literally decades. BDS is much bigger than the current situation in Gaza. It's about disrupting the entire Israeli economy.
Do you absolute weapons have no idea what happens to Palestinian women at Israeli checkpoints every single day? Have you never read Ahed Tamimi's story of what happened to her as a 16 yr old girl in prison?

I think forcing kids to learn skills in situations where they won't have to use them as adults is stupid. There will be real situations where they need to be adaptable. But adults don't eat things we don't like.

I just find it interesting how people on this type of shit never find any strengths in being female. It's always "women aren't built for 9-5" "women need a nap" "women can't do high impact exercise" it's literally just "women are inferior" with a bow on top
