We know that leaning in won't make our jobs any more tolerable and that white women have proven to be, at best, unreliable allies. But in a time of rising fascism, ceaseless attacks on reproductive justice, and violent transphobia, we need to reckon with what Western feminism has wrought if we have any hope of building the feminist world we need.

Back home, I was the idiot who drove toward the tornado. Here, there’s a woman drowning inside it… and I’m the only man who can walk in and pull her out. I read storms for fifteen years. Good enough that a call I made got my brother killed—and I kept chasing anyway, because the sky never asked me to stay.

This one had meditated under trees, smiled at flies and renounced the glory of climbing higher than others. He was once called Hanou, but that name had dissolved in the silence of the days.
