It’s getting increasingly painful to watch the huge rift between a subculture of white feminists and “tumblr/twitter feminism.”

I feel like I’m positioned on the margins of both Big Institutional Feminism and “twitter feminism,” and I feel very alone.

Many of the things being said back and forth ring true to my experience, both on the internet and in my law school experience.

Many do not. I do not feel comfortable weighing in at all.

I’ve publicly side-eyed particularly egregious instances of anti-Twitter bullshit, but I’m very, very, very tired.

I know having the capacity to withdraw and be quiet is privilege. But I feel very alone and very lost inside whatever feminism is.

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.
