11. OH YES.

and teach it to the intellectually impaired as they are the most victimized.

[Warpy]

5. The chant in English

Patri-archy is our judge
That imprisons us at birth
And our punishment
Is the violence you DON’T see.

Patri-archy is our judge
That imprisons us at birth
And our punishment
Is the violence you CAN see.

It's femicide.
Impu-nity for my killer.
It’s rape!

And it's not my fault, not where I was, not how I dressed.
And it's not my fault, not where I was, not how I dressed.
And it's not my fault, not where I was, not how I dressed.
And it's not my fault, not where I was, not how I dressed.

And the rapist WAS you
And the rapist IS you
Its the cops,
It’s The judges,
It’s The system,
It’s The president.
This oppressive state is a macho rapist.
This oppressive state is a macho rapist.
El violador eres tú.
El violador eres tú.
El violador eres tú.
El violador eres tú.

[Warpy]

6. It will most likely be in Spanish here

The last bit scans a lot better in Spanish:

El Estado opresor

Es un macho violador

I imagine they'll be shocked by the old white granny lady chanting it along with them.

7. The Spanish version is great.

The English is so we know what is being chanted.

[Warpy]

8. I did note they were chanting in French in Paris

which forced a different drum rhythm. I couldn't understan the Istanbul version at all, so maybe Turkish?

In any case, I am delighted it is spreading in any or all language.
