So, when did white feminists get cooties?
I have, like, four tabs open as a result of Googling "white feminism," so research is in progress, but I'm wondering if anyone on my flist can explain in small words and short sentences when white (sometimes "liberal" is thrown in) feminists became problematic?
Is it the privilege of missing being a white man by one?
Is it the possessiveness we feel of feminism since we started it, forgetting rich white educated women were the only ones who didn't have to work all the jobs to survive and therefor had time to make trouble?
Are white feminists like Patricia Arquette or Hillary Clinton being racist or otherwise remiss?
In other words, have I missed a nuance?
edited to add: Some nuance... "The trouble with (white) feminism"
or, a really long winded version of what amycooper said :D
