Being a feminist doesn’t mean voting for a candidate simply because they are a woman. Being a feminist means voting for a candidate who is going to do all they can to fight for women’s rights like equal pay and abortion access. As much as I would love to see a woman in the White House, Hillary is not the right candidate.
The reason I label white women who are feminists as ‘white feminists’ is because womanhood has a very distinctive definition for Black women than it does for white women.
That whole edgy, dye-your-armpit-hair, shave your head, be aggressively non-feminine shit works for white/white-passing women because for centuries white women have been regulated to overtly feminine roles, stereotypes, tropes, etc.
Black women have always been made into mammy tropes/stereotypes, masculine and desexualized figures, or super strong she-beasts who can’t be hurt and therefore can never be associated with terms like ‘feminine’ or ‘delicate’ or ‘dainty’ or deigned worthy of protection.
So when I see posts railing against these ultra-feminine tropes I roll my eyes because it’s usually a white feminist behind them.
I really need white women to understand that being dainty and feminine and soft is just as radical for me as your punk, head shaving stuff.
Thank you so much. This is such a great explanation.
I looooove this
This post is so…. Terrible? Like mammy figures are extremely feminine. And Black women have been regulated to these feminine roles just as much.
I don’t get how being feminine can remotely be radical.
Shut the fuck up, blockhead.
ROFL, how fucking dense do you have to be to let yourself even type mammy figures are extremely feminine and it be completely serious?
Mammy figures may be feminine but they are never delicate and that’s a bit of nuance that gets lost when ppl only rely on a thesaurus and no real-life application. Mammy was a maid, fam. She did the “woman’s work” but womanhood was never ascribed to her in a way that would let her be a part of the protected class. And that’s the point. Even the ideas of femininity are different for Black women. To ignore that is to ignore history. That’s not at all cute. Get it together.
LMFAOOOOO Mammy was absolutely NOT a fucking feminine figure AT ALL
I will direct you to the Jim Crow Museum where they break down the bullshit:
AND I FUCKING QUOTE:
Abolitionists claimed that one of the many brutal aspects of slavery was that slave owners sexually exploited their female slaves, especially light-skinned ones who approximated the mainstream definition of female sexual attractiveness. The mammy caricature was deliberately constructed to suggest ugliness. Mammy was portrayed as dark-skinned, often pitch black, in a society that regarded black skin as ugly, tainted. She was obese, sometimes morbidly overweight. Moreover, she was often portrayed as old, or at least middle-aged. The attempt was to desexualize mammy. The implicit assumption was this: No reasonable white man would choose a fat, elderly black woman instead of the idealized white woman. The black mammy was portrayed as lacking all sexual and sensual qualities. The de-eroticism of mammy meant that the white wife – and by extension, the white family, was safe.
The sexual exploitation of black women by white men was unfortunately common during the antebellum period, and this was true irrespective of the economic relationship involved; in other words, black women were sexually exploited by rich whites, middle class whites, and poor whites. Sexual relations between blacks and whites – whether consensual or rapes – were taboo; yet they occurred often. All black women and girls, regardless of their physical appearances, were vulnerable to being sexually assaulted by white men. The mammy caricature tells many lies; in this case, the lie is that white men did not find black women sexually desirable. The mammy caricature implied that black women were only fit to be domestic workers; thus, the stereotype became a rationalization for economic discrimination. During the Jim Crow period, approximately 1877 to 1966, America’s race-based, race-segregated job economy limited most blacks to menial, low paying, low status jobs. Black women found themselves forced into one job category, house servant.
Read that seven or eight fucking times until you get the goddamn message.
Mammy was NOT A WOMAN. Mammy was a PACK MULE FOR WORK that was deemed fundamentally ASEXUAL so white men could excuse raping them. Because it wasn’t REAL, since she wasn’t really a woman, you see?
Dark skinned Black women shown as feminine, fragile and dainty is revolutionary in a society that explicitly puts us in the position of MONSTROUS, UGLY AND UNLOVED.
Black women as damsels in distress is RADICAL in a society that purports Black women as only WORK MULES
Daji said what she mothafuckin SAID in the damn OP.
I wanna slap people upside the head with this post every time they keep coming into my “black women need to be described with words of care” post talmbout “I don’t understand!” or “eew don’t call me dainty Imma strong independent woman who don’t need no words of care”
don’t let people make you feel bad about what makes you happy
Date someone who would still be your favourite person to be around even if there was nothing physical in your relationship.

Lately I’ve been feeling so much hate and bitterness because of the way men boys treat me, along with the majority of the female population, and our bodies.
Feeling completely used. It is as if they just eat us up and then spit us right back out, as soon as they have gotten what they want from us(sex). Then they shame us and call us “easy” or a “slut” because its okay for them to “give it up” that fast but it’s not okay for us ladies to…oh nono, SHAME ON US for being fucking human and liking sex. Which now means that we’re no longer ”marriage material” or good enough to take home to meet the parents. Fuck ignorant fellas and their double standards.
I’m sick of hating my body and shaming it. I’m sick of hating myself because of the way guys make me feel, and allowing them to have any control over my self esteem. It’s draining, I am exhausted…..So I made a silly photo-shoot, basically my way of venting about it. It’s quite personal for me to post and it’s not finished, but here, have a sneak peak at what I’m working on.
Also shout out to all my gal pals on here. You are all rad and beautiful. Never let a guy make you feel insignificant or ashamed about any part of who you are.. You all matter and deserve the world.
P.S THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU
Fixed up some things/ added some things.. still not finished but getting somewhere?
bjork is so good...........
