It's a "If Hillary was president I'd be at brunch right now" that fetishizes white women's perception of deep reproductive victimhood while ignoring the fact that professional class and wealthy white women have always and will always be able to get abortions.

And this fucking
#resist and#persist mentality pretends like white women are just heroes for saying basic, common sense shit. That's the dynamic behind a lot of the phenomenon of Warrenism, right? "She persisted"? Like, it was great, but it isn't like she took a bullet.2 replies 5 retweets 85 likesShow this thread -
I'm a white woman and I get it! I love Warren's pluck, and I'm not trying to diminish her achievements. But also, she clothes herself indigenousness when convenient, essentially endorsed blood-based native identity determination, and never uttered a peep about Standing Rock.

We white women love pluck, and we let it erase a host of racist sins from our memory: votes for the Iraq War, "super-predator" talk, handmaids lynching black women, appropriation of native identity, fucking 23andme race "science."

Pluck is nice, but it isn't heroism. White women aren't living Handmaid's Tale. We need to get out of our "help me, I'm being oppressed headspace and get with the program. And the program is racist.

And swear to god, if I see one more shot of a bonneted Elizabeth Moss looking up at the camera in a way that sort of looks ominous but also like she's kind of defiantly rolling her eyes like a plucky little rape slave, I'm going to scream. (/thread)

I stopped watching it two episodes into season three. TBH, my wife and I only really managed to finish season two on inertia.

I really do find *some* of the portrayal of Gilead insightful but the show has really just tripled down on its own racism

For sure. My wife was just saying the same thing to me as we tried and failed to get into drain three. I agreed.
