Feminism, culture and power

As opposed to initiating discussions around their power and how they use it, institutions spend money and words to shift the focus on individuals.

However, all who fight for gender equality should never forget that violence and discrimination against women is not a matter of culture. It is a matter of power.

Otherwise, by reasons of necessity and certainly not of intention, those who will access much-needed, adequate, human rights-respectful education will often be those who are comparatively less in need of it.

Culture is essential. But you do not fight power with culture.

At some level, patriarchy oppresses men too, cis straight men included.

The occasional “feminist,” who sometimes comes from abroad, engages in such acts of treason for one thing and one thing only: Personal visibility.
