Soraya Chemaly

So many people I talk to are disheartened about the state of feminism, but I am really not. Feminisms are diffuse in everything that is happening.

This piece was written with such clarity that I looked up the author, @sorayachemaly.bsky.social, and bought her new book!

“A cultural challenge…”

I mean, lollll, he’s an openly and unremittingly — religion mumble mumble, complementarianism mumble mumble— supremacist which, I guess, technically, is “a cultural challenge.” We are so past “do better” here and, well, people made their beds and all that.

I agree that it comes off like this and has no larger context. Was trying to focus attention on a factor of detachment that is rarely explored. An issue with 1000 words. I agree with you re: competition ideals though and wrote about it extensively here www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Re...

Oxford University Has Failed Women Over Harassment Concerns, Staff Say The university has repeatedly been slow to act against male academics accused of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior, a Bloomberg investigation found.

I finally finished this article and it is a doozy, especially learning that one harrasser was hired "...despite knowing he had stood down as dean of the business school at Cornell University...following a personal relationship with a junior employee..."

Excerpt from The Resilience Myth by Soraya Chemaly: Being Human Means Being "Needy" It is rarely our conscious intent, but we do three things simultaneously when we talk about resilience as strength and mental toughness First, we implicitly confirm belief in a mind/body split. Second, with that split, we inscribe the hierarchy of mind over body. Third, we tacitly institutionalize this ordering of ideas, in our thinking and doing, in damaging gender stereotypes. Our imaginations are permeated with a chain of understanding: resilience = strength = mental toughness = self-sufficiency and physical power. This makes need for comfort, help, or resources a weakness. In this estimation, the mind isn't simply more important than the body, but its prioritization winnows the body's meaning, capacities, and value. Mind-over-matter resilience is replete with scorn for "unfit bodies, quickly making ableism foundational. This framework creates a fundamental structural problem for resilience: systematized cultural disdain for bodies, their needs, and the people who care for them. This makes it easier to subject bodies to brutalization and to minimize our material needs: food, water, care, and time to heal. Take mental toughness. A play on resilient strength, mental toughness conveys both strength of mind and, slyly and consequentially, a disdain for physical weakness. The linguistic inverse of mental toughness is physical frailty. An essential element of any mental toughness program is learning to ignore physical pain and 4

Excerpt (continued) from The Resilience Myth by Soraya Chemaly emotional distress. People who don't, won't, or can't do this are somehow inferior. It's worth pointing out how deeply gendered all of this thinking is. Need, bodies, and their vulnerabilities are seen as feminine qualities juxtaposed with masculine strength and rationality. Demeaning and making people feel vulnerable is tantamount to putting them in a feminine box: dependent, needy, and physically vulnerable. Even if a woman is mentally tough, qualities associated with manhood define her resilience. In contrast, qualities associated with femininity -- emotions, needs, irrationality, physical weakness, dependence -- undermine her power in the eyes of others. By these standards, can you be resilient and still have human needs? Can you be soft, sensitive, feminine?

For all my research in #trauma, much was about understanding why, how the brain breaks, how to "unbreak" it. Little went into the aftermath. Self-care required demonstrations, something void in my life. My caregivers each held this resilience myth even as they took in children who needed a family.

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago 31 A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo. The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview. “My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese. From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett. The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.
