I am a feminist and former couples therapist. My book, Maybe it’s Him: How Couples Therapy Fails Women comes out next June. The book tackles the question, why does relationship inequality persist and argues that couples therapy isn’t the answer.

Women’s labor and bodies are viewed as community property when domestic and emotional labor is gendered. When women cannot access abortion care, her body is being treated as community property. When women are told they must provide sex to partners on demand etc.

Fathers need to have these conversations with their sons. It needs to go beyond sexual assault to bodily autonomy including labor. When families treat women’s labor as community property, a message is sent about bodily autonomy. This means better modeling in families, not just a few conversations.

When Acret’s daughter Mackenzie was stabbed 78 times, her two year old was present. A neighbor ran into the house, saved the boy and then barricaded herself in her home. The child was covered in blood. Over a third of women experience DV and many children are witnesses.

Tabitha Acret is calling for new criminal offense in Australia. The victim is the child who is present during domestic violence. Children witness violence, including murder, in the case of Acret’s grandson. The impact on the child is rarely accounted for. www.mamamia.com.au/mackenzie-an...

After committing heinous crimes against humanity and pillaging the wealth, the Zionist Epstein criminal network is trying to give themselves impunity and put ordinary people in a digital surveillance prison. People continue to underreact at grave peril.

Fabulous essay, thank you. There is a long history of government entwining itself with fatal products in the name of progress. Judge Lewis Powell wearing a cape emblazoned with the Philip Morris logo comes to mind. However none so explicitly associated with genocide.

How about eliminating the presidency entirely. Clearly it’s too much power for one person. If we are serious about democracy, let’s create a system like the most democratic governments in the world; a parliamentary system with proportional representation.

It’s also our duty to take action. Knowing without taking steps to care for impacted people, protesting or other forms of nonviolent action makes us culpable. Knowing and then behaving as if things are normal is reprehensible.

Not sure. Do you mean a housing report for a state? VA is my state. There would be little traction here. I could get info to reps in MD where there is a better chance of changing housing policy.

I would be happy to.I spoke to my state representative in VA about tenants rights and offered ideas for legislation. He was open but said it was unfamiliar to him. A new mayor has been elected in Providence Rhode Island, David Morales. It’s a majority renter city. He might be very interested.

Reuters usually basic so this is an unexpected reactionary twist. Dealing with housing is a huge issue in Berlin. The city did take back homes owned by private equity at below market rates to increase the supply.

If we only focus on those people who are killed and not those who are incarcerated, the magnitude of what is happening will be missing. This is also local. It’s more meaningful if people know someone was abducted from “x” street near me. I wish local papers would create an ICE abduction column.

Quoting Naomi Klein, “Fascism is capitalism’s threat response.” As our natural resources dwindle, the most important resource the ruling class has is human labor and increasingly violent methods of social control are needed for its extraction.
