Syracuse Prof Says 9/11 was ‘an attack on heteropatriarchal capitalistic systems’ that ‘many white Americans fight to protect’
The people that endorse stoning women for adultery and throwing gays off buildings took a stand against the heteropatriarchy?
A professor at Syracuse University has drawn strong reactions for a tweet calling the attacks on September 11, 2001 a strike against ‘heteropatriarchal capitalistic systems’.
Jenn M. Jackson, an assistant professor of political science, made the remarks in a series of tweets on Friday, a day before the 20th anniversary of the attacks that killed 2,977 people.
‘We have to be more honest about what 9/11 was and what it wasn’t. It was an attack on the heteropatriarchal capitalistic systems that America relies upon to wrangle other countries into passivity,’ wrote Jackson, who uses they/them pronouns.
‘It was an attack on the systems many white Americans fight to protect,’ they added.
