Clearly sexual repression under patriarchal capitalism leads to abhorrent and inexcusable violation of bodily rights. But what Kristen and Musk are doing is blowing a dog whistle to stoke racist flames and insite fascist attacks on immigrant communities. Such has no place on Marxmail. A serious discussion of rape and patriarchy and the working class response is always in order. If we consider rape (across all ages) and sex abuse of children across the world we will find that white christian priests are having a jolly time of it with little outcry from the likes of Musk or Kristen. "An extensive investigation into the sexual abuses found an estimated 16,000 victims involving 3,700 Roman Catholic clergies (Bishop Accountability, 2011). It has also been reported that the Roman Catholic Church has paid over $3 billion..."

NYT just now What Is the U.K. ‘Grooming Gang’ Scandal Seized On by Elon Musk? "In 2014, the findings of a yearslong official investigation into such abuse in the northern English town of Rotherham set off a national reckoning. At least 1,400 children, some as young as 11, were found to have been groomed for sexual exploitation between 1997 and 2013, while the local authorities looked the other way for years. Similar gangs were also found to be operating in other towns and cities in England." Let's have a serious discussion of how capitalism, patriarchy and obscurantism perpetuate violence, rape and what the working class can do about it. Starting with defending immigrant and minority communities who are being singled out for what is an ongoing and broad based problem with end stage capitalism.

Addressing the problem of rape and gender violence based on screaming headlines in the for-profit press doesn't seriously address the problem. You are doing what they want you to do - focus on 3% of the problem. Mark -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
