using intersectionality to discredit feminism and downplay its reach and essentially weaponizing it when it was coined to describe black women's experience of racism and sexism is nasty work...

#and like i say: brf slt #i see people do it ALL the time. all the time all the time. on the internet. tumblr posts that do it get 40k notes in two days because #everyone here is actually allergic to feminism #like it doesn't mean what you're saying it means...when people are like um you actually can't say men oppress women with no caveat because #men of color disabled men poor men exist...OKAY? btw why is your theoretical woman white rich and able-bodied while the men you're #thinking of are oppressed...on other axes of oppression...like it's so stupid i'm sorry what serious person is saying that women #can't be racist/homophobic/ableist. just that at the end of the day these men still benefit from being men and not women...#and women of color poor women disabled women are also like out there lmao #like oppressions don't cancel each other out😭 this line of thought is so 2010s tumblr how privileged are you test #we're adults!!!!!#it's intellectual dishonesty and it shows that these people simply don't view misogyny as an actual form of oppression. which means they're #enemies of women whether the women are privileged or not lmao #also every woman is white and privileged when i argue about feminism and every man is oppressed (in ways that have nothing to do with #patriarchy) is like that post about people approaching fictional women like there can't be anything more to them than what we see on screen #when they can come up with rich backstories for men with two seconds of screentime. it reminds me of that #but even if the only woman you're thinking of is rich straight white she's still a victim of misogyny and sexism lmao that doesn't mean she #can't do some damage and be awful to other minorities but like she's literally still a woman. like when barack obama was 'the leader of #the free world' and bombing x countries did that stop people from being racist to him. if it had been a white woman people would have been #misogynistic. if it had been a black woman she would have been a victim of misogynoir. it's very simple. i need someone to explain how a #man being a victim of racism or anything else invalidates the foundations of feminism. like what does that have to do with feminism #people being racist/prejudiced in other ways to men isn't a feminist problem which doesn't mean feminists can't care about it obviously #but like it's an anti-racism issue it has nothing to do with feminism? i've said all of this before #feminism is for half of the world's population...making it more inclusive and intersectional means fighting for women who face other #oppressions better like of course all oppressions=worth fighting against but feminism being intersectional doesn't mean it has to include #men? like. i seriously don't get it. and not everything a feminist does/talks about/fights for has to be a feminist cause like do you know #what i mean lmao? also diluting feminism and being like um aren't you supposed to care about everyone men suffer too is actually like #og antifeminism it's very funny to see people try to do it but ~progressively~#you are a 1970s antifeminist
