This Is How White Feminism Is Failing (And How It Can Do Better)

 

Race isn’t the only thing that makes our struggles different. As a straight woman, you have always been allowed to marry whomever you choose, whereas same-sex marriage wasn’t legalised until 2015. Just last year, over twenty transgender women were murdered (many of whom were women of colour), which is the largest number on record, but why is this narrative never heard?

 

Countering racism, classism, homophobia, transphobia etc. should be central to the feminist struggle.

We, as feminists, need to take serious concrete steps towards intersectionality. If we truly believe in equality for all women, then we need to start acting like it.
