kathie sarachild’s phrase could use a reboost in today’s world!!

I love this funny play on the old “world as a whole” phrase. Changing the noun “whole” to the noun “hole” signifies women’s virtually universal sexualization and objectification.

Feel like the hyprocisy needs to be spelled out. Too many women tend toward fear based compliance out of not wanting to exclude anybody, at the expense of their own impending erasure.

I went to Ohio University in the early 90’s. Joined with a group of radical lesbians and we created a campus group called Swarm of Dykes. We made tee shirts and used the slogan.

Slight revision to one sent earlier today

There is a lot of righteous consciousness around the issue of Cultural Appropriation. Folks tend to agree it is unacceptable and to be policed, for the protection of those being appropriated. Except, it seems, when it comes to the cultural appropriation of womanhood. That seems to be up for grabs, and if anybody objects its a gang mentality of blame the victim. Everybody seems to be burying their heads in the sand and unwilling to recognize the parallel. As a spin on Black Lives Matter, on which we all agree, the statement/question: Women’s Rights Matter? I feel shines a light on this disturbing misogynist hypocrisy.

Because i believe too many well-meaning women arent identifying the manipulative aspect of the word inclusion. Nobody wants to be uninclusive. Yet, in this case it represents intrusion. Intrusion of our privacy rights. And i pick this slogan to let others know its okay not be okay with the sugar coating of the total violation of our rights. Feel its important that this tactic be identified.

Because the trans “woman’s” approach, assuming right to our spaces, is often rife with angry and invasive male energy… That’s not the woman way… and i like the slogan because its ambiguous enough not to be a danger to wear, but pointed enough too…

Again, spelling it out for folks who are taking in the latest masquerading-as-PC propaganda. For those who think themselves progressive, they need it spelled out
there is nothing progressive about this…

We used it at DC Picket a few years ago. I personally love it. They can have that word over my dead body.
