Three brave women beat up a shopkeeper in islamic republic of Pakistan for harassing them and all the Pakistani men are so pissed off that they’re sending death threats to those women for taking action in their own hands instead of tolerating and calling some male authority or police. That piece of shit also filed a case against those women for abusing him and as a citizen of this trash country, i can tell he will win the case.

A 20 years old girl, Sania Zehra, was brutally tortured, raped and murdered by her husband, syed ali raza bukhari, when she was pregnant with her third child. This also happened in Pakistan on 8th of July. Now the same men are silent over this or trying to shove the issue of Palestine on feminist pages posting about Sania’s case because "far worst things are happening in the world". Meanwhile, Pakistani women are busy dick worshipping the victim’s father because "he must be so traumatised after losing his daughter like this. oh poor man!" As if that bitch isn’t at fault for making her daughter marry that old beast when she was probably 16.

Celebrities here are more concerned about men’s deteriorating mental health in this country as these lunatics think catering to men’s feelings will somehow fix them. What else can you expect from them when the entire world outside has progressed, but these dumbfucks are still portraying the same old cringe fairytale stories where a simple beautiful, but unfortunate girl falls in love with some ugly psychotic man and tolerates his abuse because "that’s true love 😍" and in the end, she’s successful in fixing him.

But when we speak a word against the atrocities women face in this country, all these people lose their minds and try to silence us to ensure the image of their fuckin country is not at risk of defamation and the lovely Pakistan can become an example of how peaceful islam is. Pakistani men (and most women here as well) are intolerant when it comes to the vilification of the image of their country and religion. And their asses start burning when they see someone ruining it. They even stoop so low to the level of satanism that they would not hesitate to send death threats to anyone making them look bad globally. A girl i was friends with on FB wished Malala another gunshot on her face by Taliban because of her anti-marriage stance.

This is why i urge y’all to please don’t stay silent on the issues women are facing in Pakistan. I never see global feminist pages talking about female oppression in this garbage country. Some feminists living in west also act like brown men are somehow better than white men and they’re more oppressed than white women because of racism, or that muslim men are better than christian bigots. Stop victimising brown muslim men. Not only are they hideous but also the misogyny the south asian society has shoved in their assholes is extremely disgusting and they keep shitting it on women everywhere they go, including white women.

I wouldn’t expect support from brainless libby feminists as they’re probably busy pulling their pants down on their favourite OF platforms or fighting misandry online, but i would love to see all the radfems speaking up for south asian women. Please make it known globally how the Pakistani islamic community is constantly oppressing women day by day.

Use the examples i stated above. Speak up for Sania Zehra!! Demand justice for her globally, and keep bashing corrupt Pakistani law system. Also, don’t forget to defame their religion. These people are most protective of their culture and religion. I don’t see any hope in this country for women, but there’s a chance they will start taking action and give proper justice to the victims in order to protect their so called dignity.

Loving your daughter? What’s that?

Reminder that in 1969 21 Punjabi women were fed radioactive chapattis.

A van would pull up outside their homes giving them for free.

They contained radioactive salts.

None of them knew about it.

No consent was given.

Although in the 90's, the Medical Research Council in the UK objected to victims speaking out about it.

Insisting consent was given and they even have a Gujurati speaker to translate.

... Despite the victims being Punjabi women who didn't speak Gujurati.

These chapattis were given with the promise of giving health benefits to Punjabi women going to the doctors for things like migraines.

But no... Keep telling me how our government cares about us.

There's a documentary about it called Deadly Experiments, and I've linked the article about a victim speaking out about it.

It's truly despicable but ultimately not suprising.

I just got out of an engagement and honestly, I feel free. Ladies, always trust your instincts before it's too late. Shitty men exist in many forms. Your safety and wellbeing comes first. I pray you all have friends and family around you that you can depend on who support you because that helps a lot, but only you can make those big decisions.

The average life of ninety per cent of women in Pakistan. Please read this article and stop giving sympathy votes to these fugly brown/muslim men even if you see them experiencing racism in west. These are your average moc’s who you think are somehow better than white men. I see a lot of trans women crying under one of my blogs where i said i don’t sympathise with men of colour or Muslim men who are discriminated or killed due to racism and and that’s not because i support racism (which i do not), but because i hate these men. I live amongst these brown muslim men in pakistan and have experienced their misogyny so when i see them getting lynched or bullied somewhere for whatever reason, i intentionally ignore it. But trans women somehow find it racist and are non-stop labelling me as a "racist" which i had already expected from these dumbfucks since that’s what they do every time to criminalise women who don’t agree with their ideologies, bringing more hatred toward these women. The same way they did it to JKR.

Brown muslim men and all other south asian men are not even 0.1 per cent better than white men. If you are a woman living in west, you might believe the opposite because of extreme racism and disgusting misogyny of white men you or your friends of colour have experienced. As a Pakistani girl, i used to believe that white or christian men are better than these men in my own country as i had only experienced their misogyny. I thought men in west would be better because of a more liberated society there but soon i realised i was wrong when i became an intersectional feminist and got more in touch with women globally. Now i believe that all these men are trash regardless of their ethnicity, religion or skin colour and these divisions do not lessen the misogyny anywhere. They are all the same. They are all clones of each other.

So please just stop coddling the feelings of these moc’s. They love to use racism-card or islamophobia-card to victimise themselves to make excuses for their misogyny, and some of you would easily fall for their trap especially if you are a woc, but let me tell you this; when they’re done getting sympathy votes from you, they are back to their usual misogynistic behaviour.

Similarly, you pro-watermelon 🍉 gang are crying for Palestinian men, meanwhile those men are busy raping and impregnating Palestinian women even during a genocide. Palestinian women need freedom from both israeli and Palestinian men, and israeli women (except for idf soldiers) deserve to be freed from hamas terrorists and israeli men both. Supporting women from both sides does not make you a zionist, but if you choose one side, it does make you a misogynist.

I would always choose a white woman over a man of colour and a woman of colour over a white man. I don’t give a fuck which one of you stupid ass libtards with zero braincells find the former as "racism" you can literally cope and cry. Fuck all MOC’s and I wish from the bottom of my heart all these males including trans women make the male high suicide rate even higher.

Also, a friend of mine, Manahil, who is also a radical feminist and a terf, shared her experience on honour killings in Pakistan which has been published in this article. I am so happy when feminists take action. I am proud of my queen! Please do read this article and share it everywhere you can.

1. Asymmetric breast size

2. Uneven nipple size or shape

3. Stretch marks on breasts, hips, or thighs

4. Cellulite on thighs or buttocks

7. Menstrual cramps or PMS symptoms

8. Acne or pimples on the face or body

My sister has already started being bullied by the white kids in her class for having body hair.

She's in 5th Grade.

Growing up as a brown girl, I had the same experiences with being ridiculed for dark body hair - on my legs, arms, face. I was emasculated by my peers and started over performing femininity. I began shaving behind my mamás back as soon as I started Middle School. It left me with scars from where I had a shaky hand and slipped, and I didn't know how to do it properly.

I bled to be "normal" by their standards.

From my trauma, I've been unable to shave in over a year. Now, I'm making the conscious choice to leave my body hair and embrace it - not for myself, but for my sister and for all the small brown girls who share our experience.

I'm still feminine and "normal" with body hair. It's beautiful and natural, thick and dark.

Let's change the standards, together.

So a while back I was at an art museum and I saw a piece by a Pakistani woman, Naiza Khan, from this collection and I wrote down her name so I could look her up later and I really wanted to share what I found because her works are really cool. The museum I went to wrote about the piece that it was ambiguous whether the sculpture was meant to be viewed as restrictive or protective, and I liked that angle a lot. This page I posted the link to expands upon that even further and I wanted to share some of my favorite passages:

“In writing about her installation piece The Crossing in which suits of armor created around the female shape set sail in a wooden boat, Naiza drew attention to the year in which she made the installation—1429 Zil-Hajj, an Islamic echo of the Christian calendar’s year 1429 in which Joan of Arc led the French army to victory in the Battle of Orleans. In Pakistan, 1429 Zil-Hajj started during the 40 day mourning period for Benazir Bhutto—like Joan of Arc, a female leader who polarized opinion and died brutally, reviled by some, sanctified by others. The empty suits of armor speak to the history of both women, and force us to ask in which calendar we’re living—15th century or 21st?” (Page 8, Kamila Shamsie)

“… the fact remains that many of the armored pieces are, as Naiza puts it ‘designed to fit the imagination rather than the body.” (Page 10, Kamila Shamsie)

“Those gilded wings might be armored, but the real threat to them comes not from outward attack but from their own forgetful nature. When dreams or imagination descend, or cross over, into another space they are in danger of losing part of themselves.” (Page 10, Kamila Shamsie)

“Her turn to the hard and unyielding metal bodily implements, which include charged objects such as chastity belts, metal corsets, and lingerie made with steel, suggests that the tension between the demands of the social order, and the intractability of the body has sharpened considerably in her recent work.” (Page 12, Iftikhar Dadi)

“What is the possible relationship between obsolete European implements that seek to shape and control the female body, and modern Islamic legal, social, and ethical injunctions for women? Is modern, scripturalist Islam simply being equated with medieval European repression, torture, or confinement? Or, as the reuse of such devices by S & M, bondage and other subcultures in the west suggests, have these devices today primarily acquired the aura of a transgressive fetish?” (Page 12, Iftikhar Dadi)

“Naiza’s work demonstrates that freedom for women is not a simple matter of transgressing or overthrowing repressive social mores, as the very delineation of what is possible to accomplish as an agent emerges within the discursive constraints of the social order.” (Page 19, Iftikhar Dadi)

“Naiza’s work insistently reminds us of this paradox of subjectivation. In order for the voice and the body of the woman to emerge into public space from a condition of invisibility and subalternaity, its presence must be recognized and shaped by discursive norms.” (Page 20, Iftikhar Dadi)

A quote from Naiza herself reads: “I made some images in my little book in July last year [2006]. These were drawings of “bullet proof vests.” I was intrigued by them, and felt they needed to be made in metal. At the same time they felt like something very soft, close to the body, like fabric… The idea of trapping and protection comes together in these pieces. An ambiguous thought, not sure where one idea stops and the other begins… something so prevalent in our society.” (Page 21, Naiza Khan)

“The welding points on the metal armatures are further allegorized as Heavenly Ornaments, suggesting that the terrible beauty of the violent forging of the metal joint is a necessary accomplice for subjective expression. The works in metal do appear to offer a choice—the ability to wear them or discard them at will. But this choice is essentially an impossible one, in that it is situated between the inarticulate, excessive, and private body, and the normative female body that is increasingly public and visible but forged by discursive norms that allow it to speak only by simultaneously working both violence and protection upon its bodily excess.” (Page 23, Iftikhar Dadi)

I encourage you to read the whole thing, because there’s a lot more discussion of the politics of her pieces, both in terms of feminism and Islam, and about how the artistic choice of her refusal to showcase head coverings (and, to a lesser extent, western beauty standards as well) in her physical works (while addressing them in written works instead) is symbolic. I really like the idea of the clothing being stuck between protecting you and harming you, showing you off but in a consumable way, and how she touches on the false perception of the choice that we have in the matter. She also has some other really cool works shown elsewhere on her website that aren’t part of this set (lots of watercolor!), some of which seem to be inspired by living conditions of people in Pakistan, the ocean, or South Asian history. She also has an instagram if anyone is still using that and wants to check out more of her work.
