That just means you're not an intersectional feminist. Feminists can be racist. Anti-racists can be sexist. #NoTrueScotsman

true feminism supports ALL women, if you're gonna be woke, be woke. you can't support equality for one and not the other.

That's the no true Scotsman, yes. Feminists are ppl who seek gender equality for women. They may or may not be egalitarians otherwise

Some come from a perspective of wanting to be 'woke.' Others come from specific gender-related ideas.

i agree, but i think that if a person claims to be a feminist, they should know it includes supporting women who are aren't white.

Yes. Feminism is the support of women's rights. Excluding non-white women would also be adding a racial dimension.

I think ppl build on a feminist base, adding qualifications & ideas & approaches & frameworks so they end up very far apart indeed.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

Or they add feminism into their primary ethical framework & make it fit so it has a different ethos from the start.

Me too! There's often much more common ground to be found than opposition so hostility is a shame & a waste.
