When people can't control you, they'll label you difficult.

Be difficult. It's the only way real change happens

These women saw self-immolation as the better alternative to the confined, restricted, abusive, and inescapable marriages they were in.
Nurses say Srwa is the latest victim of a copycat outbreak of suicide by self-immolation CREDIT: Simon Townsley 'I poured gasoline then set fire to my clothes - the flames shot up my body' Suicide by self-immolation has swept Kurdish-governed Iraq. Many women see the horrifying act as their only escape from domestic abuse The crisis is particularly acute in Sulaymaniyah province, which possesses the only specialised burns unit of its kind in the whole of Iraq. In many cases, these women are trapped in abusive households with nowhere to turn for help. This is a conservative society in which domestic violence remains hidden behind closed doors. Caught in arranged marriages from a young age, often in remote mountain villages, the women have little education and are vulnerable to copycat acts of martyrdom Experts say some women see it as their only means to exert power in unequal relationships. "My view is that these people have come into a situation in which they cannot find any other way out," contends Michael Eddleston, Professor of Clinical Toxicology at the University of Edinburgh and a leading authority on suicide. "It's about telling people how upset you are, how underpowered you are, and how you can't change your situation. “With both burning and poisoning, they are doing things that are within reach. All you need is a match and oil, which are usually next to each other. “Most Kurdish women's rights activists believe that, in these regions, self-immolation and suicide are a kind of protest against the male-dominated society and the discriminations and limitations imposed by the father, brothers, and the husband's family”, reported a 2018 study. "Women enjoy far less freedom of choice and action than men. It seems that recent social developments and changes have increased the women's expectations and in turn made men more defensive, as they wish to preserve their traditional male- dominated society", it added

Ich habe getrauert. Ich war wütend. Und daraus hat man eine „Drohung“ gemacht.
Ein weißer cis Mann hat meine Worte aus dem Kontext gerissen, rechte Netzwerke haben sie instrumentalisiert.
Jetzt habe ich einen ganz kleinen Teil dieser Geschichte aufgeschrieben.

Exploring your gender identity should be seen as a GOOD THING! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

How great to be able to have the space and support to figure out who you REALLY are.

Social transition should be made EASIER, not HARDER.

Yeah fuck that noise.
My books are inherently against Nazism and Conservatism and are inherently against Republicans

All the villains in my books are usually flat out traditional Right wingers, fascists and nazis.
My books arent for them anyways.

lois from family guy looks a little haggard, sitting at a dining room or kitchen table at home, and she's looking at a bottle of pills in the foreground. lois is labled 'liberals trying to preserve capitalism', and the pills are named 'fascism' the joke being that liberals support fascism before than dulling the teeth of capitalism.
