I’ve recently thought about this. As much as I don’t like intersectional feminism I often get reminded of why it exists in the first place. Because of ignorance I witness residing in our circles.
The adherents of radical feminism failed women of colour. They still fail them. Instead of bickering with each other and trans activists I reckon we should spend more time voicing the problems that all women face. There are too many of those. Too many tragedies experienced by females to stay silent about it.
Right now as we speak, in the U.S the Emory university keeps the body of Adriana Smith, a black woman ‘alive’, despite her brain being dead. The reason for this inhumane treatment - is Adriana being pregnant when she died. They are using her as a laboratory rat. Her parents are against keeping her alive, the child that she ‘carries’ is impaired, it will not be healthy. It is a torture for everyone on Adriana’s side. They don’t let her rest in peace.
There are too many stories like that. There are too many stories of black women in the United States being the most vulnerable with their births.
We should uplift all women, of all ethnicities, of all social statuses, of all disabilities.
If you only support one particular category of women - you are not radical feminist. It was never about it.
We are the ones who constitute this community, we are the ones who shape it. Let’s do the theory justice, and stand up for women.
Dear kayununscripted, I cannot describe how disappointed I am on your behalf. You are not alone.
