Intersectionality - one of the few terms [for now] that has not been taken over and thrown back at us as an insult. The most vulnerable people are affected by a multitude of discriminations. When a group of so called 'radical feminists' exclude Sex Workers [SWERF] or Transpeople [TERF] it also feels like a takeover of the term: feminism.

The Slogan: Macht aus dem Staat Gurkensalat (in its orginal Swiss German version: Machet usem Staat Gurkesalat) [Turn the state into cucumber salad] from the 80ies is transformed into a feminist message: Macht aus dem Patriarchat Gurkensalat [Turn the patriarchy into cucumber salad].

Patriarchy is still one of the fundamental structural problems in our societies. It remains the breeding ground for sexist thinking and the blueprint for power from the top down. We have not managed to smash it, yet already we see this massive anti-feminist backlash from without – and within like from the tiktoked hipsterification of tradwifes or TERFs or many other forms of "enemy feminisms" > Sophie Lewis newest book: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2440-enemy-feminisms

This collage* is an homage to the famous slogan from more than fifty years ago. During the uprising in May 1968 they wrote the following in the streets of Paris: « Sous les pavés, la plage ! », which translates to: «Under the cobblestones, the beach!». A shout out for freedom and liberation.

With the upcoming Women’s Day on march the eighth, the feeling of rage drives us as we speak out against all ongoing violence and murders/femicides.

* The slogan was first pasted in the streets of Paris in 2024. [CV Meta: https://www.instagram.com/collages_feminicides_paris/]

Photo description: The photo shows a wall with graffitis on the board of a river with the reflection on the water. Over a spray painted big R a feminist collage is pasted that reads: «SOUS NOS COLLAGES, LA RAGE» which translates to: «UNDERNEATH OUR COLLAGES, RAGE!»

The slogan «Woman, Life, Freedom» has its origins in the women-led Kurdish movement (Jin, Jiyan, Azadî). It was picked up by the protests in Iran in 2022, following the death of Mahsa Amini, who was killed by the so called ‘morality’ police for not dressing up to their standards.

In October 2024 in a widely shared video on social media, we saw a woman in Teheran walking around in her underwear. It is reported that she acted in protest after being assaulted by campus security guards. The authorities on their part frame it as a mental breakdown. Another classic chess move in the sexist game of discrediting women, of denying their bodily autonomy and their right to protest against repressions.

Yesterday i asked the organizers of the local #June14 #FeministStrike, if there will be #MaskBloc at their march.

Their response: Nope, we didn't have time to organise one. That i should organise it, they said, to later add, if I wear a mask it would be safe for me to attend, "as research shows this is enough to protect oneself".

Ugh. This of course needs a debunking. But where to even begin?

Allow me to start with the blatant misinformation. No, that is precisely NOT what research shows.
