And USA Today has the skinny on what components witches will to use to hex Kavanaugh. That’s excellent. 😒
Further, the article goes on to say they will be targeting “all rapists and the patriarchy which emboldens, rewards and protects them.”
You can’t hex the patriarchy. It exists only as a system defined within the scope of feminism, but it is not an identity that is assumed by those who oppose feminism. You can hex the people you name who actively contribute to the erosion of women’s rights. You can hex white nationalists. You can hex ICE. You can hex the KKK. But in terms of magic, the patriarchy isn’t a thing that people are, at least not by that name.
The patriarchy is a loose amalgamation of systems that actively contribute to the humiliation and declassing of women and femmes. But those systems have names. Those systems are also bound up in the legal code. Hex the people who allowed those laws to be passed, and those who keep dreaming up new ones. Think of it this way: you can hex specific capitalists, but you can’t hex capitalism.
Here’s a thought: hex the members of the political parties that allow these things to happen on their watch, who stand to financially benefit from these laws and systems being in place. They also have proper names.
What I’m saying is, if you’re going to hex rapists, their apologists, and the patriarchy, use their actual names. Sure, those things exist, but they are nebulous definitions of antagonists defined by their victims and political and legal theorists more than actual titles and name that are assumed by people.
And stop telling everyone about it!
Preach @brightmoonfey!!
