#activism #anger: “We were brought up to be good girls, to be decent, to be polite, to speak nicely to authority. Women here are not to be heard, they shut up, they don’t speak, they’re to be seen as beautiful,” #Nyanzi told the Globe and Mail in 2017, explaining perfectly the origins of “civility” and why #profanity is a powerful tool to upend that #civility, which is foundational to #patriarchy: https://lithub.com/mona-eltahawy-civility-will-not-overturn-the-patriarchy/ #feminicides #feminisms #respectability

“Politeness blunts the tongue of criticism, ridicule, satire or irony. On the other hand, radical rudeness breaks down the doors to the arsenal of verbal, literary, and linguistic devices available to launch a counterattack against corrupt militant brutes in government who use bullets, prison sentences, and mass graves to silence their opponents.“ ~ Dr. Stella Nyanzi, 2022 in https://pen.org/the-pen-ten-an-interview-with-stella-nyanzi/ @supremacy@a.gup.pe 🧵 #respectability #activism #anger #Nyanzi #civility #profanity #patriarchy #feminicides #feminisms #rudeness #resistance #struggle #violence #stateViolence #politeness #quotes #germany #uganda
