New Year's Resolution time!

Besties!

I know I don't have many mutuals cause I've been such a lurker the past few years and not having the time to really actively blog, BUT I'm gonna shoot my shot.

My husband and I are trying to move from Texas, US, to Germany to be closer to my brother and provide better opportunities for our son (2). Right now we are both English teachers. My husband is currently transitioning to cyber security. I'm pretty conversationally fluent in German (working on refreshing myself), and my husband is a total newbie to the language but working on it.

We're looking at moving after the school year/our current lease ends, so mid June at the earliest.

My brother is in a small town outside of Leipzig right now, but we aren't married to living where he is since we just need to get over there and also because Europe has better public transportation options and visiting won't be as much of a pain as traveling Texas is right now!

I know that somehow I mostly follow UK and Aussie blogs, but if anyone close to DE has any leads or connections (or even tips!) to help a swiftie tumblr mutual out, I'd be forever grateful. 💙 As long as just one of us can secure a job for now, we'll feel a lot more comfortable with the whole thing.

on refugees in europe

this post feels necessary because of how pervasive far-right populist rhetoric is, including in supposed “radical feminist” spaces, where such rhetoric is becoming more and more normalised in the name of “protecting european women”. these posts include a lot of misinformation about the reality of refugees. i will preface this by saying i am a woman of colour, an immigrant, and live in germany. for work, i help traumatised refugees receive psychological support. this means in more ways than one, i am quite familiar with refugees in germany. 

plenty of people seem to be under the impression that being a refugee is easy, that they’re just “illegal immigrants” too lazy to fix issues in their countries. this is false. refugees are overwhelmingly people being specifically targeted *for trying to fix the oppression in their nations*. an overwhelming portion of the refugees i have worked with were political prisoners, meaning they were active in opposition political parties or actively speaking against their governments. as a result, many have experienced torture, sexual violence, police brutality, and have felt their lives were under threat. after facing immense trauma and danger, they had to flee to preserve their lives. that’s part of what being a refugee means. 

another bit of misinformation is the implication that refugees are just “illegal immigrants” with “nothing to lose”. this is also false. refugees flee their countries because they face imminent danger. many of them, if deported to their countries, are bound to be killed. refugees without stable status in germany live in constant fear of their claim to asylum being rejected, because of the fear of being killed in their home countries. this means that to be deported from germany is to potentially lose the one thing no one can afford to lose: their lives. so no, refugees aren’t people with nothing to lose. they’re people who have already lost a lot and are afraid of losing even more. moreover, they’re not in the country illegally, they have their fingerprints taken and have heavy restrictions placed onto them by the government. they undergo a pretty tiresome, thorough legal process and often require lawyers to represent them. this process takes months, sometimes even longer than a year. their application being accepted does not mean their status in germany is safe for good, either.

i’ve also seen someone call refugees “illegal economic migrants”… also a myth. many refugees actually lived more luxuriously in their home-countries. sure, some lived in extreme poverty, but a significant amount say openly that they wish they could go back to their country. they say that they lived in a bigger home, and lived more comfortably, before having to flee for whatever reason. this is not the reality of economic migrants, who leave their countries to live in a country where they can have a better class status and earn more. there is no economic incentive for the majority of refugees. there is no secret luxuries to being a refugee.

claims that refugees are “undocumented”: untrue. as mentioned before, their fingerprints are taken. they are thoroughly investigated. many, even if their case is legitimate, have their claim to asylum rejected initially and then have to combat that. sometimes nothing works and they do have to be sent back to their countries, and potentially are killed once sent back. 

another false belief is the idea that it’s very easy to be a refugee and anyone can just claim to be a refugee and then be allowed to stay in a european country, no questions asked. even in germany, one of the better countries to refugees, this is not the case. for example, 50-66% of refugees from iraq had their application rejected. in germany, you can appeal this decision, but most appeals are rejected, too. the people who receive the highest percentage of positive responses to their claims to asylum are syrians (0.1% rejection rate in 2023), afghans (1.0% rejection rate in 2023), and somalis (5-6% rejection rate in 2023). i hope it goes without saying why that is the case. IF their application is accepted, they receive a residence permit that is valid for 1-3 years (depending) and their stay is evaluated again upon the expiry of their residence permit. if their country is deemed safe enough to be sent back to, they lose the right to stay in germany. if, before coming to germany, their fingerprints were taken in another EU country, they are likely to be deported to that country even if that country will inevitably deport them back to their country. 

there are many more false claims i’ve seen spread in “feminist” spaces, but the point of this post is: please stop blindly believing misinformation. please educate yourselves on what a refugee is and the actual process of asylum applications in the EU. if you’re european, maybe go outside more and try to volunteer somewhere to personally get to know some refugees. they are just human beings, like you and i. just because their skin colour is more likely to be brown does not mean they are walking caricatures of a disney villain.

Here’s some of my personal favorites comments:

[yuri-for-businesswomen]

this might be controversial but hear me out.

prostitution is sold to impoverished women as their only option - but not to men. so what are impoverished men doing? are they all unemployed? i dont think so.

some men go into prostitution as well - but its not as common and not as much sold to them as a last resort. why? because mainly men buy sex, and most men are not gay or bisexual. almost as if… sex is not a service but actually selling your body and sexuality.

i think that impoverished women are systematically pushed into prostitution, and i think the rhetoric of prostitution advocates supports this.

because why is there an absolute lack of options for women, but not for men, which makes them enter prostitution en masse? why arent women supported and advised to enter construction work, cleaning, farming, dish washing and other „low skilled“ jobs that impoverished men (and some women) do?

we know that the answer is misogyny. this is nothing new. but what i have wondered is how much the rhetoric of „they have to be in prostitution, they have no other options“ is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

you are not doing women in prostitution any favors by destigmatising and normalising being bought for sex. many just accept their fate: well there is no other options, im not even going to try. the women i know do this. i cant get a job on the regular job market anyways. everyone tells me this is how it is.

what if the lack of options is artificially created, and pro prostitution advocates unknowingly enforce this?

listen. dont men have a class interest of keeping prostitution alive and well? because they want women to be sexually available, to be legally sexually exploited, because they want less competition on the job market, because they dont think women being abused is a big deal and the legitimisation of prostitution as a real profession is validating men who sexually abuse women for payment.

what if many young women are groomed into prostitution by being told this is the only option. they are guilt tripped by saying this is the only way to support your family. i know that, especially with eastern european women who immigrate to germany, they are usually advised to enter prostitution in germany by women they know who are also prostituted in germany.

we will never break this cycle if we keep advocating for legal prostitution.

if buying sex stays legal, the next generation of girls is already being groomed into prostitution. they already see their sisters, mothers, cousins and friends enter prostitution. it‘s normal. the woman sacrificing her body and dignity for her child or her family, sometimes her partner. and the social workers tell them you are a professional. and the liberal feminists tell them you are empowered. and the sex buyers keep calling them slut and whore and ask if they can pay extra for anal penetration or pissing on them.

but hey they say they can take it and they dont know what else to do so lets support them by keeping them in prostitution! are you so for real right now? dont you see how fucked up it is to tell a woman who says she has no other option but being sexually abused for money „you are right, you dont have options and i support men sexually abusing you because this is your choice“. like
