What @LucyAllenFWR said re. expressing your own 'brokenness' and fallibility is so important to me. Revealing vulnerability/humanity has only ever been seen positively by myself and my peers. We respect that. My favourite and best tutors are my equals. 2/
Then I am confused because the reference appeared to be that feminism had failed to address this? And it was not clear that you were referencing either the Combahee River collective, etc.

No, I wasn't - as I said, my intro to all of this was much more grassroots, from ppl who wouldn't have seen themselves as academic feminists (but were actually doing, IMO, sophisticated intellectual work that engaged with what was being said in academia). I agree it's not new.

I think perhaps what you're picking up on, was that I was trying to suggest that our students will come to feel our feminisms haven't done enough - and that's right, and we should encourage them to go beyond us, not tell them it's all been done.

But no one is telling them it has all been done. My point is why erase the labor and work of generations of BIWOC who have discussed and theorized these things. Why is giving them vocabulary and resources stopping them from developing further?
