And this is why I absolutely refuse to call myself feminist. As a black woman I’ve always recognized the exclusivity of "white women’s feminism". Hell, at one point they didn’t even include black women in their description of whats feminine, in some cases insisting we were too masculine to be women! Some of them STILL don’t include us.

Radical exclusionary feminists may not speak for all women but they definitely make feminism look bad, and they’ve always excluded certain women from their ranks, while arguing they were protecting all women from these imaginary dangers they pulled out of their ass.

What are they doing to protect any women from cisgender men, other than making up new things for properly feminine white women to be scared of? They’re not even interested in protecting the women they claim to care about since they’ve done absolutely nothing at to support or protect women from actual harm.

Women of color could actually use all that energy in the form of support if nothing else, but where are these women? Attacking the members of our societies who have the absolute least amount of power, that’s where.

ETA: I’m A Womanist, a movement which is intersectional, but centers Black women because as Black women we have a different set of priorities than white women. Look up the writings of Audre Lord, Alice Walker, and Layli Phillips.
