"Fascism isn’t just brownshirts, jackboots, tiki torches, and rallies, but state-facilitated and regulated, socially tolerated violence. When men’s freedoms are threatened—by surveillance, censorship, or state violence—we call it fascism. But when women are controlled through forced birth, criminalized for their trauma and survival, or stripped of autonomy, it’s 'bad men,' 'culture,' 'personal tragedy,' or crickets."

"While patriarchy varies across time, culture, and place, it consistently reflects the foundational traits of fascism: violently enforced hierarchy, suppression of dissent, cultures of control, bodily regulation, and systemic violence. Patriarchy intrinsically enforces authoritarian hierarchies and relies on systemic violence. These are not precursors to 'real' fascism—they are its gendered expression."
