A reader asked me a question about a recent Wonder Chronicle that made me want to write an entirely new post and so I’m launching a new feature at FEMINIST GIANT for paid subscribers to ask me (almost) anything.
Ways to destroy the patriarchy, eyeliner brand(s) I use, the life of a menopausal whore, how to strengthen those feminist muscles with Feminism in 3D (Defy, Disobey, Disrupt), why so many of my lovers have been younger than me—ask me (almost) anything!
I will answer one question a week.
Paid subscribers can post their questions in the comment section of any post or email me at info@monaeltahawy.com
Yalla!
Tell me Mona how do you cultivate joy in your life whilst confronting the fuckery? Are you able to do the despair and rage as well as the joy?
I’m curious about your perspective on this: how would you handle pro-MAGA folks in your family? I’ve tried the gentle approach (aiming for a discussion) and the angry approach (yelling and cussing at my brother-in-law on Christmas Day). Part of me wants to cut them out, but I also want to show my young nieces and nephews that there’s an alternative. I want them to know they have family that isn’t crazy, and that I’m here for them if they need out. (They’re between 1-11yrs old)
