It’s getting increasingly painful to watch the huge rift between a subculture of white feminists and “tumblr/twitter feminism.”
-
I want to make Big Institutional Feminism better, and theoretically, I am in a unique position to do so.
But in reality, I feel totally disempowered and disconnected from any larger movement or solidarity.
-
-
The attacks, by my beloved friends, on Big Feminism are warranted. But they also make me feel alienated w/r/t things I love and care about.
-
I edited a massive article on legislative reform enacted by Big White Feminism. I respect Gloria Steinem. I care about the ERA.
-
Some of my favorite friends and closest feminist allies worked for NOW. Am I part of a problem? Do I deserve any solidarity?
-
I am not entitled to solidarity from WOC. But hell, I’m getting *nothing* from Big White Feminism. So in that case, I really am alone.
-
I will always maintain ongoing critical examination of my own practices. Not talking about how to theoretically resolve my feminism...
-
… I know where I stand right now, and I will always strive to listen. I'm talking about my emotional need to have a family.
-
But maybe feeling alone is the price I have to pay for my own intellectual journey.

@sarahjeong intersectionality is hard to perceive when you have zero or one of the intersections. Hard to recognize others' truth as valid.Merci. Twitter en tiendra compte pour améliorer votre fil. SupprimerSupprimer

@sarahjeong my read of this (as a privileged, newly-paying-attn person) is that White Fem suffers many same myopias that while males do.Merci. Twitter en tiendra compte pour améliorer votre fil. SupprimerSupprimer
