It’s getting increasingly painful to watch the huge rift between a subculture of white feminists and “tumblr/twitter feminism.”
-
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 From where I sit, you are doing great. -

@sarahjeong I respect Steinem except where she talks about sex work. -
@CathyReisenwitz yeah she’s said a lot of problematic shit I hate but she’s still very important to my conception of myself as a feminist. -
@CathyReisenwitz It’s hard.
