Equality Anthem by Iranian Women

This song is called sorood-e Barabari (سرود برابری) or equality Anthem. You can find it on both Spotify and SoundCloud. Different parts of it came to life and was put together along the years (2005 to 2011) by different feminist poets and musicians. With the recent women revolution in Iran the anthem was revisited and sang. The video on the song is a mix of footages from Iranian women inside and outside of Iran.

Lyrics:

«جوانه می‌زنم

به رویِ زخمِ بر تنم

فقط به حکم بودنم

که من زنم، زنم، زنم

I will bloom from the wound on my body

[The wound that is there] because of who I am,

because I'm a woman, a woman, a woman

چو هم‌ صدا شویم و

پابه‌پایِ هم رویم و

دست به دستِ هم دهیم و

از ستم رها شویم

If we raise our voices together,

if we walk together,

if we take each other's hands,

we will get rid of oppression

جهانِ دیگری

بسازیم از برابری

به هم‌دلی و خواهری

جهانِ شاد و بهتری

We will build another world with equality

A happy and better world

out of empathy and sisterhood

نه سنگ و سارها

نه پایِ چوبِ دارها

نه گریه‌هایِ بارها

نه ننگ و خوارها

No stoning, no gallows,

no repeating cries and tears,

no shame and disgrace

جهانِ دیگری

بسازیم از برابری

به هم‌دلی و خواهری

جهانِ شاد و بهتری

We will build another world of equality

A happy and better world

out of empathy and sisterhood»

I don't understand why people seem to dislike "Girl Dinner" and "Girl Math" so much.

Like, it's not about girls being unable to take care of themselves or make smart financial decisions. Girl Math is literally just about how under the capitalism small purchases that add up to a large number don't feel as expensive as one large purchase. It's the same phenomenon as being willing to pay $10 for a product but not $8 + $2 shipping. Or spending cash feeling different from spending on a credit card.

Or like why a bunch of people just started talking about how being a bimbo is just quirky sexism.

Yes, women can achieve great things, and they can be smart. We all support women's rights. But we gotta support women's wrongs as well.

After being told that you have to be smart and strong and do everything a man can do or you're a bad feminist and you're setting the movement back fifty years, the ability to just be dumb and carefree feels like taking off a bra.

Yes, women can be smart. But they can be dumb too. We can be weak and dumb and that doesn't make us "bad feminists" or "quirky sexists". It makes us human. And shaming women for their freedom to enjoy their life however they want is counterproductive. Men get to be as dumb as they want without shame, so why is it that when women are the ones who are dumb, you get offended and try to shame them into acting the way you want them to?

We can't have equality until you guys stop shaming women for every little thing they do. We can't have equality if we don't support women's wrongs.

Every few months my brain conveniently misplaces my band class trauma and lack of skill with rock music to think about making a Dumpty Humpty concept album full of songs loosely connected to DP characters and plot events.

Anyway I dug up old lyrics I wrote for them last night and now I'm hyperfocused.

Female President is possibly the most girlboss song ever released because. I mean how were they to know but a song inadvertently championing Park Geunhye is just so ridiculously funny

[ravenkings]

this is an ultimate banger but y’all aren’t ready for that conversation
