According to Mao, they hold up half the sky. After yet after reading this report and viewing the media content pulled from Facebook you\u2019ll learn that while TeleSUR\u2019s officially stated position is for women\u2019s liberation, their full network behavior shows that they replicate the same patterns of objectification and sexualization of women that they claim is cause for their moral superiority.<\/p>\n<p id=\"bb66\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Going beyond sharing photos of attractive socialist women, their own channel and those of their partners share soft-core pornography; photos stylized like those of prostitutes (prepagos) as well as sharing imagines that would appeal to pedophiles. Given these facts, a more appropriate slogan for TeleSUR than \u201cOur North is The South\u201d, at least for its female audience, might be \u2018Liberation up Front; Commodification in the Back\u2019. An especially appropriate analogy, given that the mullet is also an animal and what follows is fishy.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"5ae2\" class=\"graf graf--figure graf-after--p\">\n<div class=\"aspectRatioPlaceholder is-locked\">\n<div class=\"aspectRatioPlaceholder-fill\"><\/div>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"graf-image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/800\/1%2A-VJeVCdrLYfUI1YybYod7g.jpeg?w=840&#038;ssl=1\" data-image-id=\"1*-VJeVCdrLYfUI1YybYod7g.jpeg\" data-width=\"1498\" data-height=\"988\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"imageCaption\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--figure-strong\">Our North is Your Bust: TeleSUR\u2019s titillating News and Lifestyle Sections<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"c4fe\" class=\"graf graf--p graf--startsWithDoubleQuote graf-after--figure\">\u201cSex sells\u201d, those in the room deciding TeleSUR\u2019s media strategy say amongst themselves, \u201cso if the photo of a pretty girl is what gets someone to become interested in getting involved or expressing solidarity with their struggles then so be it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"5bfb\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">The right image hints that it was the power of camiseta-liberated women that was the <strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">sole <\/strong>cause for the passage of the bill.

Any sort of excuse that it is about \u201cshowing that children are keen to save the future\u201d is a lie as (1) there were no similar images posted of young boys; (2) there was no similarly posted photos of groups of children engaging in some sort of collective activity \u2014 as was typical of Soviet propaganda employing children; and (3) the very notion of a child endorsing a political party or movement is absurd as they be definition are wholly ignorant of the world.<\/p>\n<p id=\"a5f9\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Furthermore, let me contextualize the images according to it\u2019s culture and country of origin.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4af2\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">In <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-asia-india-46588740\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-asia-india-46588740\">India<\/a> a child under the age of 16 is raped every 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9ea4\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">In <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/middle-east-news\/palestinians\/MAGAZINE-gaza-kids-live-in-hell-a-psychologist-tells-of-sex-abuse-drugs-and-despair-1.5464038\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/middle-east-news\/palestinians\/MAGAZINE-gaza-kids-live-in-hell-a-psychologist-tells-of-sex-abuse-drugs-and-despair-1.5464038\">Gaza<\/a>, according to a trauma therapist working for Physicians for Human Rights \u201cmore than one-third of the children I saw in the Jabalya [refugee] camp reported being sexually abused.
