Let us not leave them alone

Women's freedom was the banner of the 'liberators' and is the very first target of the Taliban who have taken back Afghanistan. Let us unite to ask our governments for welcome and humanitarian corridors for women and girls. There is no "us" and "them". We all pay the price for the deeds of foolish men.

Women's freedom had been the banner of the Western 'liberators'. And women's freedom is the very first target of the Taliban restoration in Afghanistan.

No more school, the teachers' heartbreaking farewell to their pupils, away from work - places are only for men -, recluses again, the obligation to have a male guardian always at their side, the young girls without husbands and the widows sacrificed to the needs of the warriors, the prison of veils and burkas fished out of trunks.

Every sign of female freedom, even the advertising posters, in these hours is being meticulously erased by the old-new masters of the countrywelcomed as liberators from the yoke of the West, as they swiftly advanced towards Kabul, without encountering any resistance, to re-found the 'European Union'.Islamic Emirate.

Non lasciamole sole, non lasciamoci sole

From the very beginning, women's bodies have been pawns, targets and playing fields in a game between men: torturers, jihadists, soldiers, 'liberators', democracy peddlers, businessmen, corrupt, cowardly fugitives, traitors.

The consequences of what the media nowadays call the "debacle of the West" and the new Vietnam are currently incalculable. But there is no need for any calculation to know what will happen to Afghan women: we are already seeing it, we have already seen it for centuries to come, the flesh of all of us bears the signs, from mother to daughter, violence and oppression.

There is no us and them. What is happening to them - being erased, disappearing - can also happen to us. Their struggle, their resistance is also ours.

The men's game has been and continues to be a failure, and not only in Afghanistan. All their games are ending badly. And we women, everywhere in the world, are the first to pay the price for the deeds of foolish men.

We must unite and activate our international networks to demand with one voice to the governments of our countries to arrange reception and to organise humanitarian corridors for women and girls. (at the Kabul airport, only men are seen trying to escape).

We must not leave Afghan women and girls alone because we must not leave ourselves alone.

Let's not leave them alone.

Slavoj Žižek: puberty blockers are woke capitalism
The Marxist philosopher speaks of wokeness, the progressive cult of awareness and awakening, giving an evocative psychoanalytic reading of it. And warns that despite appearing under attack today we will have to deal with it for a long time to come
In an evocative article published by Compact, entitled Wokeness is here to stay -which we translate and partially reproduce here- the Marxist philosopher Slavoj Žižek tackles the subject of wokeness, the movement of 'awakening', analysing its critical aspects but also underlining the reasons why we will have to deal with it for a long time to come. Some argue that 'wokeness' is in decline. In reality it is gradually being normalised and conformed even by those who inwardly doubt it, and is practised by most academic institutions, [...].

Transsexuality is not a lunch for genderqueers
Being transgender is not transgenderism but a deeply dramatic experience with an uncertain outcome. Which has nothing to do with the stale stereotypes with which gender identity is expressed. Neviana Calzolari's reflections
Republished courtesy of Dol's Magazine. Original article here Neviana Calzolari, sociologist, activist, writer and TV face. Yet hardly mainstream, indeed among the most acute (and critical) observers of the social-political landscape of our times (...) The I-Dee group of Milan and the Ipazia association of Catania met her. - The Zan bill was designed to combat homotranssphobia, therefore with good intentions,' Neviana began, 'despite this I remain sceptical about certain terminology, in particular 'gender identity', which alarms much of the world [...].

Women and the left: a toxic love
Betrayed, abused, humiliated. And finally supplanted by self-identified neo-women who are far more attractive and functional than the 'old' women by birth. Yet many among us cannot break away from the progressives who show in every way that they do not consider them. The same dynamics of a sick relationship
All loves are born and die, and when they end there is always the one who suffers the most, sometimes only one party, the one who loved sincerely, the other perhaps not, perhaps he was lying. And we women believed in love with the left side seriously, with all our hearts: naively we thought we were the favourites, we believed in promises, even those that clearly appeared false. Carla Lonzi already reminded us half a century ago that the left had sold us 'to the hypothetical Revolution', and even overseas the [...]

PD primaries: transfeminist Elly Schlein wins
The young leader launches her OPA and wins it. By making the Democratic Party a woke formation, in line with western progressivism: di-rightism, free gender identity, uterus for rent, sex work. A challenge reminiscent of what is happening in Spain where radical feminism has divorced the Left
To begin with, congratulations to Elly Schlein and best wishes for her new post. Then the facts, as I see them. Elly Schlein's victory was a takeover of the PD: the vote in the gazebo, for the first time different from the one in the circles - also a historical novelty - shows that Schlein has mobilised the radical left to the limits of antagonism, as well as the 5 stars. She said it years ago: Occupy PD. Now she has done it. That she is supported by a major part [...].

Sex and gender: JK Rowling's essay
In her text, the writer explains in detail the reasons why she felt the need to address the trans issue, defying the violence of activists. A manifesto-writer for gender critical feminism translated into Italian by Alessandra Asteriti
Attacking JK Rowling can now also be a business. The latest initiative is that of a young Canadian imbecile art book creator who has decided to de-rowling Harry Potter by publishing a special edition of the saga on the cover of which the author's name disappears: $170 per copy for a despicable abuse of power. Let him keep all the copies in stock. Back to the serious stuff: in June 2020 JK Rowling published an essay on her website detailing her position [...].

Femelliste, a gender critical 'sister' platform is born in France
Harassed, insulted, mocked, threatened: French feminists have collected and catalogued the attacks transactivists have suffered for years. And they have set up an information and training site against the dictatorship of transgender ideology
The name of the site is a play on words that cannot be translated into Italian. The site's creators inform that it has already been used by animal feminists such as Posie Parker, Nicole Roelens and the Boucherie Abolition collective. It would make one think of anti-specism, it is actually more and in some respects a little different. 'Femelle' in French means the female animal (for the human one, the same word as woman, femme, is used). Since they fight for sexual rights [...]
