It doe...Thank you for sharing your experience, Liz. It does seem that the mainstream feminist movement is still largely a movement by and for white women. In a recent City Arts and Lectures interview featuring Gloria Steinem, she was asked by Chinaka Hodge how white feminists can support the Black Lives Matter movement. While Steinem answered that violence rooted in police brutality stems from the same place that domestic violence stems from, and thus the two struggles are inherently linked, her answer still seemed less than satisfactory and evasive. That said as a white feminist, I too have struggled with how to be a better ally to other movements. It seems like part of the disconnect that white feminists have is compartmentalizing movements as inherently different. Rather, to be anti-racist IS being a feminist. Like bell hooks says: "...of capitalism, of racism and of patriarchy. Those things are all linked — an interlocking system."Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13536839955595195957noreply@blogger.com
