@hannu_ikonen @mekkaokereke yeah feminism started out as equal rights, but only for married white bourgeois women very slowly unmarried women, lesbian women, bi women and so on got added, but still white af there's still debate going on whether trans women and enby people deserve equal rights, or are monsters, depending where you are we're still so far away from actually tackling white supremacy and the racism underlying all this shit, and how white women are so instrumental in it @hannu_ikonen @mekkaokereke like this year I went to some queer feminist panels, and the panel and audience were both white af in a city district with probably over 30% brown and black people and yes they also failed at the queer/intersectional part, too. which just goes to show it's either equal rights for everyone or go wave good bye to your abortion rights, transition healthcare and everything else too |
@hannu_ikonen @mekkaokereke I learned it from conservative anti-feminists who were trying to get me to be anti-feminist, anti-abortion etc.
Of course that's bullshit and it didn't work. But getting out in front and acknowledging things is one way to forestall that kind of argument. It doesn't work when they talk about how the Democrats used to be the Southern white supremacist party either, because everybody knows that.
