Sigh
Here’s something to make you feel bad. I’m not involved but I’m struck, yet again, by the way white feminists use the same techniques on WOC that some men use on women to silence them. They should know better.
Here’s an interesting post and its two follow-ups. I have nothing to add except that it makes me sad that such a great blog is getting shit for saying something that may make some people uncomfortable.
I don’t understand the sentiment that HTY expressed above, about listening to experiences being a two-way street. That’s like the What About Teh Menz?? thing on feminist sites. Newsflash: This site isn’t about you. It’s not about your experiences. I’m certain that the opinions of white people are welcome, of course, but our entire culture is about white people. This is a space where white people are, shock of shocks, not the focus. So, no, it’s not a two way street. White experiences are validated all the time, and they don’t need another forum. You don’t like it? Too bad.
Great comment, kissmypineapple.
