allerasphinx: 15minutesoffame: micdotcom: Watch: Gabby Noone explains how “White Feminists” are like men who say #NotAllMen No no no….. This is bullshit. Feminism by definition includes all women. Why does this have to devolve into another argument about race? As a white person, I understand that there is a level of built in privilege, however I just feel like if you’re a feminist, that’s the least of your worries. We all face discrimination and we should all hold hands and stand together. By lumping all white women together, isn’t that a form of discrimination in and of itself? Taylor Swift can take a piss in the wind for all I care. White, black, brown, purple. I don’t give a goddamn what the color of your skin is… If you believe that woman of all colors, shapes and sizes should be equal to men in the eyes of society, I’ve got your fucking back on that. And here we have a white feminist perpetuating white feminism on a post outlining how not to be an ignorant white feminist. Tag yourself, I’m “purple.” White Feminists are like all-weather liberal. They go around saying the color of someone’s skin doesn’t matter. But by denying someone their skin color, they also deny their ethnicity, their culture, religion and their background all together. Not everybody was raised a fucking Catholic, in a house with white picket fence. While white feminists support the idea that Islamic women should not HAVE to wear the Niqāb or even Hijab, I once had a conversation with an Islamic woman who told me the Niqāb gave her freedom. Beside the fact that it was her way to proudly show her religion and ethnic background, it also gave her the freedom of NOT worrying about fixing her hair or applying makeup every time she walked down the street. And to a white feminist, her point of view wouldn’t matter because she was raised in a third world country and thus didn’t know any better so they would speak for her instead!! It’s like fucking Avatar (the movie) where you invade someone’s country or planet and give them back “roads” and “education.” What the fuck a Na’vi gonna do with roads and human education?? They were already happy living peacefully with mother nature. It’s not about equality, it’s about brainwashing everybody to believe they need a “white” life. -- source link
