Mainstream feminism, dominated by White able-bodied cis-het middle class women.>> Minority studies dominated by White minority men>>

Minority women's studies, dominated by minority WW>> Intersectionality studies, led by minority WOC. Path not linear but you see pattern

Minority White women who practice White feminism can be identified by who they cite, collaborate with, supervise, employ & even on Twitter.

There are definitely White women from majority and minority backgrounds who do NOT practice White feminism. See their actions & networks.

So that's an explanation to say: I witness and recognise your frustration. It's a pattern that's endemic in many communities. It is complex.

So very! & I really appreciate you writing this - I think it's an especially disarming issue that leaves WOC, for example, very unsure

b/c of the ways we are policed & the complexity of power. So it's so important to discuss and *verbalize* these issues and these patterns

And in this vein I'm so appreciative of the conversations we have had and for your valuable insight
