Life

She writes for Missy Magazine , the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation's Turkey dossier and Spiegel Online and is a columnist for taz . Her topics are Turkey, sexism , feminism and minority rights .

She produces her own podcast "Scharf mit alles".

Activities and reception

In the summer of 2018, she caused emotional discussions with her poem “Men are assholes ”, which was published in Missy Magazine and which she spread on Twitter with the hashtag #menaretrash . The hashtag became the most shared Twitter trend in German-speaking countries. It originally appeared in South Africa in 2016 to draw attention to violence against women. When the South African blogger Rufaro Samanga denounced the murder of a man of his 22-year-old girlfriend in 2017 , #menaretrash gained popularity.

While Marc Felix Serrao saw a “new low point” in “net feminism” in the NZZ and his colleague Claudia Baer found “the victim role of women” cemented, the hashtag used by Schicks split the Twitter community according to Meedia . Jutta Ditfurth criticized the generalization as an “anti-emancipatory, regressive dead end”. A “deliberate attack and provocation against men” appeared to Katja Belousova ( Die Welt ) to be an essay and hashtag by Schick. Result are z. B. the “ misogynous comments of the controversial moderator Niels Ruf ”, who insulted women as “ pussies ” and “net feminists”. Schick, for example, received approval from Daniel Schulz ( taz ) when he pointed out that social change would only be achieved with decency in exceptional cases , and at Watson , where Jo Stowasser felt it was a major difference whether he “judged groups across the board that are affected by discrimination, such as women or Muslims, or whether I judge a group across the board that has optimized the whole system for itself and is not discriminated against like men. "

Sibel Schick advocates intersectional feminism. In 2019, for example, she criticized the cartoonist Franziska Becker , who often publishes in Emma , when she was awarded the Hedwig Dohm certificate by the Association of Journalists . The drawings of women wearing headscarves are anti-Islamic and racist, and the prize is awarded to work that is misogynistic and promotes violence against women, said Schick. In the midst of a debate about right-wing extremist terror, the idea of ​​many burqas on the street would serve right-wing narratives and would look downright unfortunate. Alice Schwarzer , editor of Emma , defended Becker in a statement and spoke of a "defamation campaign", a critical voice should be silenced, this amounts to censorship. Becker himself described Schick's allegations as "absurd". Her drawings are not meant to be critical of Islam, but rather to be critical of Islam. German women would "relativize" the oppression of women.

In December 2019, Schick initiated an online petition addressed to Interior Minister Horst Seehofer and Justice Minister Christine Lambrecht to better protect victims of hate crime on the Internet. After the then FAZ blogger Don Alphonso published a text about her in 2018, she received threats; their home address and place of work were published on the Internet ( doxing ). Schick received orders that she had never ordered; she found threats of rape in her mailbox. In the petition, Schick called for tougher penalties for hate speech, insults, character assassination and defamation and better protection of victims. In particular, she is also concerned with the responsibility of accounts with many followers that act as multipliers. The media magazine Journalist wrote “Schick has already experienced several times what it is like when journalists * use ' troll methods' [...], They look for some kind of tweet [...] and provide it with a provocative comment about it - with the intention that their followers do the dirty work. '"As of July 2020, 138,000 people have signed the petition. [outdated]

In the 2019 anthology Free Pieces , Sibels Schicks personal essay Scham.Haare deals “with the long path of suffering that begins for almost every teenage girl with the first hair growth on legs, genitals and all other body parts,” says Lea Schneider in the Süddeutsche Zeitung . The text wanders "in an effortless arc" from the grandmother, who, against his will, tries to pull out the armpit hair of the ten-year-old girl with her bare hands, to the first sex with a Kurdish lover.
