This past week has been no exception.<\/p>\n<p>It all started when someone known as Glosswitch wrote <a href=\"http:\/\/glosswatch.com\/2013\/12\/05\/this-is-not-intersectionality\/\">an inane piece<\/a> defending the likes of Helen Lewis and Caitlin Moran against the \u201cmean feminists\u201d who call them out. She name checked me in her piece to make a point about intersectionality. I objected to her using my name or any of my ideas to defend Helen Lewis, someone who, out of the blue and without having any interactions with me, once called me \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.redlightpolitics.info\/post\/58933279712\/helen-lewis-who-happens-to-have-a-long-and-racist\">the worst of a certain strand of feminist blogging<\/a>\u201d. Glosswitch wrote a schoolyard rant about how her \u201cfriends\u201d are unjustly attacked and how \u201cmean feminists\u201d call them out, etc. For this &ldquo;defense&rdquo; she appropriated intersectional theory. I vehemently objected to this. I resent the mindless appropriation of theories and ideas created by and for Black women and other Women of Color to perpetuate a white supremacist feminism that actually works to alienate and subjugate us further. When I expressed my vehement disagreement with Glosswitch using these ideas, I became a target. First this:<\/p>\n<p><figure class=\"tmblr-full\" data-orig-height=\"750\" data-orig-width=\"500\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/theresearchpapers.org\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/90dba8bb93b24ef9852dfcee379f70f2116bb9e3.png\" data-orig-height=\"750\" data-orig-width=\"500\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>And then a long series of tweets about how I \u201coppress\u201d white women and how I \u201cappropriate\u201d white feminism in their experiences of mental health (where this claim comes from is anyone\u2019s guess). My feminism is, apparently, a \u201chobby horse\u201d. In Glosswitch\u2019s defense came <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/boodleoops\">Becca Reilly-Cooper<\/a>, a Professor of Philosophy at University of Warwick who initiated her \u201cdefense\u201d of Glosswitch by asking if I had ever been \u201csectioned\u201d due to mental health reasons. Again, I have no idea where their obsession with my mental health comes from. When I clearly refused to engage in conversation with her, she labeled me \u201crepulsive\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><figure class=\"tmblr-full\" data-orig-height=\"182\" data-orig-width=\"500\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/theresearchpapers.org\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/b4cea5c33ac2c0359cbf84c9054cd99b83f64811.jpg\" data-orig-height=\"182\" data-orig-width=\"500\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>These attacks have been going on since Friday. I have requested more than once that they leave me alone just like I ignore all and their work or media presence. However, their Maury Show tactics escalate by the hour. Just like the infamous talk show, these feminists have a long history of transphobia, queerphobia, racism and a predisposition to scandal at the expense of those they perceive to be \u201cbeneath them\u201d. They systematically pick on Women of Color and or trans* women to score points with their follow base at our expense. It is a media tactic designed so as not to disturb the status quo but solely for self promotion. This is nothing more than tabloid feminism which, pretty much like its namesake, targets minorities to \u201cmake examples\u201d of them and appease a supremacist culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is this group of white British feminists that never seem to get enough of taunting and annoying me based on their dislike of my work.
