midwestmountainmama:

reading tons and tons of stuff about the sexual violence taking place at OWS actions across the world. And I have to say that this seems to be a perfect moment to notice that radical women of color organizers have already been addressing a LOT of the concerns I’ve seen brought up (sexual violence in communal space, sexual violence being communally ignored, not depending on the police to fix sexual violence etc)—and it might be a really great time for folks in the US to focus on the results of their leadership through reading circles, general asemblies, etc.

I think that with this sharing, it’d be especially great to contextualize how this work done by women of color was SO often mocked, ignored, made invisible, etc *by the feminists now calling for answers*—because it was “unrealistic” and “never going to happen” and the general persistent refusal to interrogate the answers the Feminist Movement had chosen as essential to ending violence against women (the VAWA, the reliance on the criminal ‘justice’ system, the ‘somebody must be arrested’ laws, etc).
