These are feminists who do not fit easily into stereotypical moulds: young and old, men and women, urbanites and country dwellers. A new breed of feminists is starting to rise up.
Feminists hail explosion in new grassroots groups | World news | The Guardian
Heh “new breed of feminists”. This is when I laugh Beavis and Butthead style. Because really? The entire article only refers to White feminism and the feminist troubles of White Europeans. Not a single mention to the kind of intersectional issues that plague immigrant women, or non White women and the kind of grassroots movements that represent them. In fact, there is nothing new about this kind of feminism. It’s the continuation of how things have always been.
But then again, remember when a few months ago, The F Word UK compiled a list of Twitter users by area of interest and there wasn’t even a mere mention of immigration issues, anti racism or the issues surrounding policies that affect non White women specifically? Plenty of anti porn and anti “objectification”, but mostly in so far as it affects the members of the dominant culture. Which, if you are going to challenge the status quo, you might want to rethink why your movement is only representative of those that already have a measure of power in society.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
