Wtf

/!\ 11/07/2022. Czech Health Ministry has REJECTED compensation to a woman whose Romani origin is listed as the reason for her sterilization

This is what RACIALIZED MISOGYNY looks like. This is awful. This Romani woman was threatened by authorities that her children would be taken away from her if she didn't undergo the operation. Her Romani origin was even listed by the health authorities as the reason for her sterilization.

Because she was a **ROMANI WOMAN** she had her reproductive rights taken away from her and was sterilized against her will. Yet the Ministry is disregarding her account of the events and their own documents to deny her any form of justice

Romani women and feminists have been fighting for YEARS to receive justice from the Czech Republic with regards to forced sterilizations but to no avail. Fighting for reproductive rights and bodily autonomy is so important for Romani feminists because Romani women were forcibly sterilized in the Czech Republic (from 1966 to 2012), in Slovakia (from 1966 to 2003 at least), in Hungary (case from 2001), in Sweden (1935-1976), and throughout history, most notoriously during the IIIrd Reich (specifically, from 1935 to 1945)

This is scandalous

TW I'm a moid

Anyway

Radblr, I've got something to ask

Let me build some concepts

1) The principle of bodily autonomy.

It basically says that one's body must not be subjected to anything the person didn't consent to. We can't phantom humans to exist without freedom and agency over their own material bodies, so this is the most important human right , overtopping the right to life. If somebody infringes on my bodily autonomy, I have every right to free myself and reinstate my desired state of things, with all means possible (this contemplates homicide too)

My first argument to support the legitimacy of abortion is therefore an argument based on bodily autonomy, and it can withstand pro-life rhetorics even if one considers the foetus to be a person.

2) Radical Feminist ideas (or at least my understanding of)

Radical feminist ideas ground themselves on the concept that many choices done in our current societies aren't actually free and out of personal will, but to some extent are the products of peer pressuring, socialization and other instruments of the patriarchy, with the ultimate goal of subjecting the female class as a whole. This is why prostitution is not a choice, surgery is not liberating, femininity is weaponized, religion is a farse, and all those things must be discouraged and actively fought against, for the sake of the female class.

I hold many radical feminist ideas and I recognise the importance of the bodily autonomy principle, so I'm asking to make sense of it all.

How can radical feminists rationalize their fights without infringing on the aforementioned bodily autonomy right? Isn't it still infringing on one's b.a if you try to disincentivize their actions?

The only way I can see this, is if you create an ethical conjecture;

"The right not to be subjected to things against my will, doesn't imply the right to subject myself to things even if I'm willful."

In this moral line, I can't be forced to dye my hair purple, but this doesn't mean I can dye my hair purple, even if I wanted to.

Obviously, certain things need to be allowed and moral particularisms come in handy.

A bigger general moral particularism may be constructed, using the well-being of the female class as a direction; anything that would harm the female class may not be permissible, everything else may be.

So there's a philosophical outcome, is it satisfactory for radical feminism? I suppose so.

Is it restricting of one's bodily autonomy? Sadly, but the real world is just as bad (maybe even worse)

anyways lmk what y'all think, this is just my brain working overtime and I'm very dumb❤️

how do I make moots

[simogne]

No because I stopped following her so long ago, stop being mysoginistic 😭

>implying

[simogne]

if you're not a male class traitor what even are you? Lol... 😬

[simogne]

Laughable. Autistic women and mothers don't get to say "oops, sorry I am uncomfortable with that" to their families and therapists and then just do fuck all. Comments were full of women supporting her decision.

Reminds me of how my dad with depression was allowed to stay in bed all day but my mom being tired on the weekends? Inexcusable to him.

Idk how this works but I wanna get used to it it's cute and comfy
