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.

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...
