In fact, it's borderline racist to deny the importance of black and other minority women in 2nd Wave feminism, because they should get credit for so much of what was achieved.

I'd say it's outright racist, not borderline racist.

The second-wave movement involved a huge number of women of all sorts - saying it was "white feminism," and middle-class white feminism to boot, is in effect centering and prioritizing white women who grew up well off.

It's akin to claiming that none of the diverse peoples in Asia, Africa and the Americas had a clue about biological sex and sex differences until about 500 years ago when white European colonialists starting showing up and introducing and imposing the idea that sex is real, and it's binary.

I know - the "White Feminism" thing is bullshit - you and I were there during the 2nd Wave and we saw firsthand that women of all colors, and also socio-economic class, were behind 2nd Wave feminism.

Trans, Inc. wants to rewrite feminist history and divide women in any way they can, because they know that united, women are unstoppable
