A revolution is ‘too loud’: it defies, disobeys and disrupts patriarchy. The revolution ‘swears too much’: it tells racists and Islamophobes to fuck off and that you will never ally with them, and it tells misogynists – our men and other men – to fuck off and that you will not shut up. Revolutions ‘go too far’: if your community is ready for you, then you are too late. You must challenge your community. You must throw down the gauntlet of freedom to your community and dare it to accept.
