He explains Caroline Fourest (La Génération Offensée): "Patriarchy is cunning. He has more than one ace up his sleeve, otherwise he would have disappeared long ago. In our days it has identified the mask of 'intersectional feminism'. to explain to young feminists that the fight against genital mutilation or against the veil plays into the hands of the racistsand that it would be better accusing secular and universalist feminists of being dirty white bourgeois and Islamophobic. Even when they are from a Muslim culture and denounce their own oppression.".

Iranian Nobel Peace Prize candidate launches 'No Hijab Day'.
In solidarity with women in Iran and Afghanistan who risk being whipped and imprisoned if they refuse to cover their heads, Masih Alinejad called for mobilisation. She is concerned that the new US law against "Islamophobic" acts will silence all criticism. And for that Western liberal feminism that speaks of the veil as freedom. This is why she is accused of "not loving Islam".
As part of the 'Let Us Talk' social media campaign, Iranian human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Masih Alinejad launched 'No Hijab Day' in order to raise awareness about Iranian and Afghan women being forced to wear the veil against their will. Alinejad judges very harshly the liberal and "intersectional" feminism that casually speaks of the hijab as a free choice. Iran requires women to wear the hijab from the age of seven. Women can [...]

"As Circolo della Rosa", it is explained, "we felt the need for a confrontation that makes it possible to abandon the logic of taking sides and invites listening, sharing, willingness to open up to the reasons of the other. For this, we have [...]

Gender identity as seen by a young woman
Following the publication of an official communiqué on Facebook by 'feminists' and Alessandro Zan's re-launch in view of the debate on his bill in the Chamber today, 27 October, I felt it was my duty to make a few things clear out of respect for all women who, like us, do not feel part of this 'feminism'.
I have decided to respond point by point to this communiqué which once again does not fail to misinform. I strongly believe that the women who signed this communiqué do not have a clear understanding of the concept of 'gender identity' which has developed and spread in youth culture over the last few years and which has little to do with the protection of homosexuals and transsexuals. Gender is a social construct that is applied to women and men according to their sex [...]

Meeting ContraBorrado: LEY TRANS & DDL ZAN

Together with Marina Terragni and Sara Punzo as interpreter from Spanish to Italian, we analyse the similarities between the so-called "ley trans" and the Zan bill.

We look with critical feminist perspective at the position of the Italian left and right political parties [...]

Trans Mission: why the push to change gender? The new film by Jennifer Lahl
The growing pressure of gender ideology, the colonisation of institutions in the West, the deleterious effects on girls and boys, the bewilderment of parents. A film-investigation in free streaming to investigate and contain the phenomenon.
