When I twote that founding fathers was a term that erased women from history I was told I’m exaggerating
But two thinkers spoke about it and one was labeled a ‘toxic hater’ and the other a ‘crazy muhindi lesbian’

When @shailjapatel spoke about the erasure of women at Kwani? She was met with hostility yet she was basing off factual claims https://twitter.com/shailjapatel/status/1131257082936745984?s=21
It was also clear when it happened that no women in Sudan were present at the negotiations, yet they were at the forefront of the protests and marches! https://twitter.com/bsonblast/status/1146938552296435712?s=21
Look at the mobilization and protest of women over the years being erased and forgotten and men getting the praise for it! https://twitter.com/blakedontcrack/status/1146476239902801920?s=21
All in all,
“How could they do this to women?”
Are you referring to the same men who casually escalated patriarchy and ignored women or the ones who made space for jokes and comical ideologies out of women’s suffering ?? With no hesitation but ease

This is the same dehumanization of women around the world that sustains patriarchy and ukoloni mamboleo,
There is no possibility of “we won’t forget” while patriarchy and chauvinism thrives in our settings

You cannot fight to empower and remember women in history for as long as you feed from a patriarchal setting!

This is the language of misogyny, patriarchy and the language that allows erasure of women
