Red Light Politics

Welcome to my short form Tumblr blog. My name is Flavia Tamara Dzodan, I am a business developer, writer, public speaker, ideas instigator, content creator, media facilitator and trend watcher living in Amsterdam.

This Tumblr is about the spaces and intersections between politics, culture, race and gender matters with some humor and pop culture thrown in the mix.

My long reads blog is Red Light Politics.

Ohhhhhhhh.
Just gonna go ahead and leave this here.

Look you putrid cesspool of boob-sweat. Shut up. No, really. Shut up. You are fighting for your right to jizz all over lady’s faces. In your feminist world, ladies are covered head to toe in purifying jizz. In my feminist world, ladies are not being attempted murdered by their boyfriends. And they’re not making 59-80 cents for every dollar a man earns. And they’re not being treated like baby-machines with no recourse to medical procedures. And they’re not being raped by bros who blame it on short skirts and stiff drinks/dicks. And they’re not being shut up and shut out of conversations so Saint Patriarchus can continue to jizz all over the Statue of Liberty. 
So just shut up. Shut up. 

Yes, a man, can clearly tell a bunch of women what our own equality looks like.
I’ll bet he thinks he knows what racism is like, too.

He does know what racism is like! Here, let me quote you some of his knowledge of what racism looks like:

The names of many young men — particularly young Chinese from Hong Kong — are often rather touchingly quaint. This summer, I have — these are first names, mind you — a “Fitzgerald”; a “Woodrow”; three “Benedicts” (my middle name); two “Henrys”; one “Maxwell”; and, my favorite, one “Colfax.” It sounds like a parody of the membership roster of my grandfather’s fraternity, circa 1926! And at the risk of sounding horribly classist, it strikes me as a rather naive attempt to deliberately appropriate WASP cache. Imagine all of these parents, newly immigrated, working long hours to clothe young “Winston Wilberforce Chan” in what television has led them to believe is the outfit of success: polo shirts and chinos with shiny penny loafers. From the perspective of someone who grew up in WASP country-club culture, this sincere attempt at imitation strikes me as, at the least, oddly misplaced!

Not convinced yet of his incredible knowledge of racism? Here’s another one:

My other student, “Yesenia”, comes from a Hispanic background, and has a new, Salvadoran-born boyfriend. Without belaboring the point, her story is essentially the same: her new guy wants her to stop chatting with other men and to wear less revealing clothing. Yesenia came to see me last Thursday; Lori came by yesterday. Former students in my women’s history class, each wanted my advice on what was essentially the same issue.
I mention the ethnicity of the folks involved because there seems to be such a clear cultural component to seeing jealousy as acceptable. No, I’m not trying to reinforce a stereotype of Latins or Middle Easterners as particularly “hot-blooded” and thus more prone to misogynstic fits of green-eyed rage than “calm” WASPs. But it’s clear that certain ethnic groups — in this case, Armenians and Salvadorans — are more willing than others to associate male jealousy with evidence of love and care.
