    Everyday white supremacist misogyny: When an elected official - a white man - calls another elected official - a Latina - a “fucking bitch” on the Capitol steps, don’t be shocked that a lawyer - a white man - hunted down a federal judge - a Latina - and murdered her son. https://twitter.com/AaronBlake/status/1285563399691284481 …

        Remember that Republicans love screaming about “civility” and “decorum.” But calling a Democratic congresswoman a “fucking bitch” is what exactly? Which is why I say fuck that shit. Understand how “civility” benefits the racists and misogynistshttps://lithub.com/mona-eltahawy-civility-will-not-overturn-the-patriarchy/ …

        It is imperative to understand how civility, decorum, manners, etc are used to uphold authority—patriarchy, whiteness, other forms of privilege—and that we are urged to acquiesce as a form of maintaining that authority.

        Whether we are urged to be civil to racists or polite to patriarchy, the goal is the same: to maintain the power of the racist, to maintain the power of patriarchy. Meanwhile: a racist misogynist calls a fellow elected representative a “fucking bitch.”

        Remember when Rashida Tlaib said “impeach the motherfucker” - not on the steps of the Capitol - but in a private gathering? Remember the Republican meltdown?

        Michelle Wolf was called “Filthy,” “Disgraceful,” “Indecent,” “Vulgar” - because she poked fun at Sarah Sanders’ eye makeup? Yoho - besides calling AOC a “fucking bitch” - said she was “disgusting because she has said poverty is a root cause of crime.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/think/amp/ncna870736 …

        As I remind in my chapter on Profanity the obsession with civility, no matter what, is bipartisan and white. And often directed at women, especially Black women and women of colour #7NecessarySinspic.twitter.com/Gr7QuFWxGt

        So when you see women - especially Black women and women of colour - being policed and penalized for “incivility” and “vulgarity” - while at the same time being the objects of incivility and vulgarity, understand what is happening. Fuck the patriarchy.pic.twitter.com/Ew1uDdqyRs

        That is why Profanity is one of The Seven Necessary Sins For Women and Girls and why I wrote a chapter about it. #7NecessarySinspic.twitter.com/EgsBAWY897
