THE PINK FLOYD - 1838 and again in In 1973 the loss 2020... No More, this ends here.
We thank Mr. Floyd's Family and united supporters for bridging the Black and Female oppression and fighting off unnecessary attacks based on Discrimination from White Male Oppressive Patriarchal Systems to people who follow Matrilineal and Matriarchal Systems who love the people they create, and we fight in support of stopping it in its tracks this time, the resurfacing of the abuse of our nations Black peoples We see you, we feel your pain and we are always beside you. A mother's love for their children is color blind, race does not change the love we share.
Women fought for both, women rights and anti-slavery and our partnership brought forward almost a century of our co-operative cries...Get You Foot Off Our Necks!
1838, Sarah Grimké boldly argued for the equality of women and men, challenging societal norms and religious justifications for female subordination.
Sarah Grimké, originally an advocate for the immediate abolition of slavery, extended her reform efforts to women’s rights, publishing Letters on the Equality of the Sexes, and the Condition of Woman in 1838. She directly responded to arguments defending women’s subordinate role, particularly those of Catharine Beecher, asserting that God created men and women as equals, and that women’s inferior status was a result of societal oppression rather than divine decree. Grimké rejected the notion of “separate spheres,” insisting that women should have equal access to education, religion, work, and political participation, including involvement in the abolitionist movement.
In her letters, Grimké highlighted the historical and systemic subjugation of women, comparing their oppression to that of enslaved people. She argued that men had consistently used women to serve their own comfort and gratification, denying them intellectual and moral development, and falsely claiming women’s inferiority as justification. She praised figures like John Quincy Adams for recognizing women alongside the oppressed, emphasizing that women had long been denied opportunities to fulfill their potential and glorify God as intended
Grimké’s advocacy was radical for her time, challenging both cultural norms and religious interpretations that justified female subordination. She critiqued male-dominated biblical translations and commentaries, suggesting that women’s access to education in Greek and Hebrew could reveal alternative readings supporting equality.
Despite facing public hostility, including protests and the burning of her writings, Grimké persisted in speaking and writing for both women’s rights and the abolition of slavery
Her work laid an early foundation for the American women’s rights movement, linking the struggle for gender equality with broader social justice causes. Grimké’s insistence on moral, intellectual, and civic equality for women marked a significant step in the fight for women’s participation in public life and reform movements
From Letters on the Equality of the Sexes, and the Condition of Woman, 1838, Letter II:
But I ask no favors for my sex. I surrender not our claim to equality. All I ask of our brethren is, that they will take their feet from off our necks, and permit us to stand upright on that ground which God designed us to occupy.
Half way there...its stated again
Ruth Bader Ginsburg 1973
The term "man please get your foot off my neck" is attributed to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who quoted Sarah Grimké during her first oral arguments before the Supreme Court in the 1973 case of Frontiero v. Richardson. This quote emphasizes the demand for equality and liberation from oppression, reflecting the historical context of women's rights activism.
In Frontiero v. Richardson (411 U.S. 677, 1973), Ruth Bader Ginsburg—arguing as amicus curiae for the ACLU—urged the Supreme Court to treat sex discrimination as inherently suspect, helping secure an 8–1 ruling that struck down military benefit rules that disadvantaged servicewomen.
Overview
Frontiero v. Richardson challenged federal statutes that automatically granted housing and medical benefits to wives of male service members but required husbands of female service members to prove dependency for more than half their support. Lt. Sharron Frontiero’s husband did not meet this requirement, prompting the lawsuit.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Role
Ginsburg participated as amicus curiae for the ACLU, granted special permission to argue before the Court—her first Supreme Court oral argument.
She drew on her earlier success in Reed v. Reed (1971) and argued that sex-based classifications should receive strict judicial scrutiny, like race or national origin.
Her brief and oral argument emphasized that laws rooted in “romantic paternalism” perpetuated systemic inequality.
Supreme Court’s Decision
Outcome: 8–1 in favor of Frontiero.
Plurality opinion (Justice Brennan):
Declared sex an immutable characteristic unrelated to ability.
Held that the statutes imposed unconstitutional discrimination under the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause.
Asserted that administrative convenience cannot justify sex-based discrimination.
Concurrences: Justices Powell, Burger, Blackmun, and Stewart agreed in judgment but hesitated to adopt strict scrutiny.
Dissent: Justice Rehnquist.
Significance
Marked one of the earliest Supreme Court victories advancing constitutional gender equality.
Helped establish Ginsburg as a leading architect of sex discrimination jurisprudence.
Laid groundwork for later cases applying heightened scrutiny to gender-based laws.
The case remains a foundational moment in the development of modern equal protection doctrine regarding sex discrimination.
Almost at the finishing line and it goes too far, this must end...
George Floyd (born October 14, 1973, Fayetteville, North Carolina, U.S.—killed May 25, 2020, Minneapolis, Minnesota) Black man whose videotaped death under the knee of a white police officer sparked protests in 2020, including some of the largest street demonstrations in U.S. history. Before his murder made him a global icon for racial justice
This will never be ok to women - We as Women will fight to save our babies, multi-culture has always been ok with mothers.
Peace and change belongs here, before it goes to far again
Women are violently attacked or in danger and their fight is not purely for rights - it very clear, Women don't get considered here as at risk of being murdered and Black Women are caught in the middle of it all -
Marc Lépine (French: [maʁk lepin]; born Gamil Rodrigue Liess Gharbi; October 26, 1964 – December 6, 1989) was a Canadian mass murderer who perpetrated the École Polytechnique massacre, where he murdered 14 women and wounded another 10 women and four men[note 1] at École Polytechnique de Montréal, on December 6, 1989.
As well FEMICIDES IN 2023 Global estimates of intimate United Nations Brief - partner/family member femicides - Globally, approximately 51,100 women and girls were killed by their intimate partners or other family members during 2023. Higher than the 2022 estimate of 48,800 victims,4 this change is not indicative of an actual increase as it is largely due to differences in data availability at the country level.
5 The 2023 figure means that 60 per cent of the almost 85,000 women and girls killed intentionally during the year were murdered by their intimate partners or other family members. In other words, an average of 140 women and girls worldwide lost their lives every day at the hands of their partner or a close relative. • Women and girls everywhere continue to be affected by this extreme form of gender-based violence and no region is excluded. With an estimated 21,700 victims of intimate partner/family member femicide in 2023, Africa is the region with the highest number of victims in aggregate terms. Moreover, Africa continues to account for the highest number of victims of intimate partner/family member femicide relative to the size of its population (2.9 victims per 100,000 in 2023).
The Americas and Oceania also recorded high rates of intimate partner/family member femicide in 2023, at 1.6 and 1.5 per 100,000 respectively, while the rates were significantly lower in Asia and Europe, at 0.8 and 0.6 per 100,000 respectively. • Beyond the killing of women and girls by intimate partners or other family members, other forms of femicide exist. In recent years, some countries have begun to quantify other forms of femicide by implementing the UNODC-UN Women Statistical framework for measuring gender-related killings. In France, for example, during the period 2019–2022, 79 per cent of all female homicides were committed by intimate partners or other family members, while other forms of femicide accounted for an additional 5 per cent of all female homicides. Similarly, exploratory research in South Africa indicates that femicides outside the domestic sphere accounted for 9 per cent of total female homicides in 2020–2021.
