Intersectionality

Thanks for replying. It’s never too late to share your experiences. I’ve seen other black women talk about similar experiences to yours and I’ve also had the same issues outside of radfem spaces. That’s all I ever wanted to point out.

You talked down to me the moment you decided you needed to explain what racism is. As if that’s something I’m not unfortunately familiar with. You then went on to explain what charities and disabilities are like I’m a child.

You completely dismissed the entirety of my posts and got defensive. At no point did I say all white women are racist. I had some concerns on how i haven’t seen some instances of racism dealt with properly and instead you took that as me saying all radfem and gc spaces are racist.

I’m not sure if you took a moment to look at my other reply before you decided to edit your entire post. Although most of my experience dealing with racism has come from white people, I already said I know racism isn’t exclusive to just white people. I also already know that white people aren’t the only ones capable of being ableist. I have always taken the time to address racism coming from other black people I know and calling attention to ableism when I see it.

I’m very new to radical feminism as it wasn’t something on my radar a year ago. My views were never completely in line with liberal feminism so I thought radfem communities would be for me but it seems like your also content with speaking down to people here as well.

I’m mainly talking about online groups such as r/gc which had instances of racism that went unchecked. I also never said that white women can only be racist. Just that when the majority of a group is white it’s mostly going to topics that affect white women. When racist women do post subtle racism this is also unchecked and dismissed as a non-issue by other members when an offended party speaks up.

Also never said that white women are more capable of being ableist than women of other ethnicities, just that I’ve seen it used as a reason for why intersectional feminism is needed for disabled women.

I only ever mentioned ALL WOMEN not all people being included. I’ve already mentioned how it’s been forced to include men and TIMs. It’s possibly an age thing. I’m 24. It’s also probably an location issue. I’m assuming you’re British. I have no idea how inclusive of race feminist groups are where you live. Being a black woman in the US I’ve had issues with both libfem and radfem spaces either being racist or ignoring how race can affect how women are treated. EDIT: Thank you for editing your comment so now my response to you doesn’t make sense

It seems you’re focused on completely ignoring that if you’re racist or ableist you’re not going to include or feel empathy for women of color or disabled women. I’ve witnessed instances of women being dismissive of Black women’s concerns on how accepted we are in gender critical and radfem spaces back when r/gc was around and that looks like it never changed.

I’d love if we could get rid of the concept but women aren’t immune from being racist or ableist. There are plenty of libfem and radfem groups that focus mainly on issues that affect white women since they are the majority and ignore issues that don’t affect them. So in this instance I don’t mind a call for some inclusivity since we’re already being divided.

Obviously feminism shouldn’t include men but I’m not seeing what’s wrong with being some aspects of intersectionality. Aside from the push for trans issues the only other times I’ve seen for pushing intersectional feminism has been to include women of other races and disabled women that had their issues ignored.

They seriously can’t handle it when something isn’t about them. Even going by trans ideology and if they believe biological sex is real the post was about same sex couples.

Boobs and breasts sure but if I’ve ever used boobies I can’t see myself saying it outside of a joke. You’re right to be skeptical. I’m sure if you checked the profile for anyone using boobies they’d have posts in trans subs.
