#this is half about 'noo dont read 2nd wave texts they were ALL TERFS' & half about 'nooo dont ever reference the suffragettes they were

[mothman-dyke]

Hot take ik but it's actually pure shit and so sinister how we've arrived at a point culturally where referencing any historical feminists gets u met with "but they were problematic :/ " like I mean yeah but it's so telling we aren't doing this with any other 'group' isn't it...I'm lightly drunk so take me with a grain of salt but it feels very intentional and designed to divide women from feminist thought; if we never engage w prev thinkers of the movement for fear of catching their problematic-ness than we don't access their knowledge. We reinvent the wheel over and over again instead of letting ourselves build on what has already been established.
