I was never with the White Feminist who defended her rapist husband, and who collaborated with admitted child predator and racist Lena Dunham.
I was never with the White Feminist who shut down Black Lives Matter protesters, saying, “Now let’s talk about the REAL issues”, as if the extra-judicial murder of Black people is not a real, important issue.
I was never with the White Feminist who boasted of her close friendship with genocidal war criminal Henry Kissinger.
I was never with the White Feminist who called Black men “super predators”.
I was never with the the White Feminist who supported building a wall to Mexico long before Donald Trump.
I was never with the White Feminist who talked of the white woman’s wage gap of 74 cents to the dollar, never once mentioning how it is much lower for Women of Color.
I was never with the White Feminist who spoke of the wage gap and then paid her own foundation’s female executives less than their male counterparts.
I was never with the White Feminist who talked big about immigration reform while never once mentioning the rapidly growing population of poor Asian immigrants to the United States.
I was never with the White Feminist who said she’d “look into” releasing transcripts of her Wall Street speeches, and then backpedaled, and, instead of leading, became a cowardly follower and said she’d do it “if everyone else does”.
I was never with the White Feminist who wanted a $12 minimum wage instead of $15.
I was never with the White Feminist who exported fracking to countries all across the globe and helped support the gutting of my home.
I was never with the White Feminist who praised Nancy Reagan and celebrated the way her husband allowed tens of thousands of my queer siblings to die from HIV/AIDS.
I was never with the White Feminist who was against gay marriage until 2012.
I was never with the White Feminist who spent all campaign saying “I”, then suddenly switched to Sanders’ “We” four weeks before the election, just like she suddenly started saying “Yes We Will” like Obama’s “Yes We Can” in 2004.
I was never with the White Feminist who used racist attacks against Barack Obama in 2004 by bringing up the Reverend Jeremiah Wright and ACORN.
I was never with the White Feminist who wanted Assata Shakur extradited back to the United States to face false charges.
I was never with the White Feminist who said that the DAPL workers “need to have the right to do their jobs” respected, who never once went to a reservation and spoke with the original inhabitants of this country.
I was never with the White Feminist who expected people like me to shut up, quit complaining, and vote for her party, whose supporters bullied people like me over and over again into voting for her, blaming us for her party’s weakness and selfishness.
I only voted for Hillary Clinton because I was coerced to– because voting for a rapist is worse than voting for a person who collaborates with rapists. I only voted for her because I thought she’d at least keep some semblance of civility because of the demands of her electorate and political expediency, not some sort of innate morality. I was only #WithHer because I had no other choice.
I was never “with” the White Feminists, and they were certainly never “with” me.
White Feminists, you have yourselves to blame for this loss. You’ve done this for generations and now this is what you get.
And the funny thing is, you won’t even suffer the worst consequences of your selfishness and your racism and internalized misogyny and homophobia and ableism. The people you stepped on in your failed attempt to break your White Woman’s Glass Ceiling will.
