As Hind Elhinnawy observes:
'If the world can tolerate the Taliban’s abuses, Iraq’s restrictive laws & the US restrictions on abortion access, it reveals the fragility of women’s & girls’ rights globally, and how easy it is to take them away'!
Feminism's work is never done & any idea that once rights have been won they don't need continually defending against (mostly) male political attack is very much mistaken.
Patriarchy never rests!
@ChrisMayLA6 patriarchy & capitalism we, all of the 99% need to end #patriarchalcapitalism and the system of representative democracy that promotes it. Democracy is about people talking about change not about professional politicians & lobbyists, mostly men and corporate representatives again mostly men.
protecting their interests/profits/survival.
I (we?) absolutely need partnership not domination.

Is it the structure of representative democracy that's the problem or the money required?
If there were true public financing, would that make a substantive difference?
Also, so long as there are countries in the world run by autocrats and kleptocrats completely disdainful of national borders and the rights of the residents of any country, we're going to need a national defense capability.
Whatever governance we have must be able to manage that.
@joeinwynnewood @ChrisMayLA6 party politics continues to promote domination, we need a partnership system such as being developed by @RianeEisler and the https://centerforpartnership.org/resources/riane-eisler
Until we have something like this we can never achieve true justice and peace.
Thanks for the link. Apology in advance for not looking at any of the details anytime soon as I'm focused on things that can be accomplished in the next few years to improve the information environment as much as possible.
Doing so is critical path to avoiding a repeat of the 11/5 debacle.
