In what way is white feminism a problem?

The idea that the kind of feminism that is opposed to trans rights is ‘white feminism’ is as ignorant and ill judged as anything the TERFs (as in, actual terf’s, not just bigots) come out with.

James Hetfield saying feminism caused the break of his marriage is a huge 🚩🚩🚩🚩

I think wf is feminism in which whiteness is privileged and the feminist thought doesn't extend to the same concern for women of colour, but that's just the impression I have

the 'feminism' board are becasue transphobes are misogynists ...

Glinner congratulated him. Always love it when men tell us stupid little women how to do feminism.

I’ve a feeling this is a rabbit hole that would be better discussed elsewhere.

So all the left need to do is stop caring about stupid trivial crap like feminism, trans rights, disability rights etc.? Is that what you're saying?

That's pretty much it. See: the number of white western feminists who are pro-Israel but don't give a fuck about Palestinian women.

Haven't heard of things like this before, https://www.npr.org/2022/12/03/1135162927/women-feminism-south-korea-sexism-protest-haeil-yoon, seems there's much there worth discussing - thank you for raising it

InArduisFouette and Orang Utan need to wind their fucking necks in. It's pretty embarrassing tbh. campanula, sorry you feel the need to take a break, your posts on feminism/feminist history are always really interesting. And the gardening obvs xx

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. :confused:

I'm really not sure it is. Decades of feminism are sort of undone if we get called a name every time we are perceived to do masculine things. I'm not sure how helpful labels are tbh unless a person chooses their label.

I didn’t say that. You’re putting words in my mouth.

interesting article saying british feminism is a bit of a wash out these days i wonder what people think of it i think probably correct - its perhaps broader than ever, but also shallower https://novaramedia.com/2024/01/09/english-feminism-needs-a-kick-up-the-arse

I think it is more complex than that: in that I disagree with the OP

The more you look at it the more completely arbitrary the whole thing is. Socialism, postmodernism and altruism among the many steps you have to travel through to get from "classic feminism" to "third wave feminism".

Yup and we’ve seen Black and Brown women being victimised in various sectors as a result too. White feminism is really a big problem…
