Back when I was doing antiracist blogging a white commenter tried to get across her haven't i made up for it cred by saying "As a child I cried over the smallpox blankets, okay?"

That's what I think of every time I see things like this.

I… dont want to do that? I know what happened what good does it do

Every Olympic cycle I’m reminded how little “the West” knows about “Non-Western” countries because to think Algeria, of all countries, would send a trans athlete to represent them in the Olympics is so dumb.

There are people out there who have said nothing about the dutch child rapist competing in the olympics but have now declared that they care deeply about women’s safety and ethics in sports.

“When white women are confronted with the possibility they can be perpetrators, and not only victims, of oppressive actions and they burst out crying, antiracist work grinds to a halt. A white woman sobs, and the room falls to her feet. These tears seemingly perform a self-baptism. They cleanse the sufferer of any past wrongs and invest her with a martyred authority flowing from the realm of allegedly indisputable truth: her own hurt feelings. Some of the sanctifying innocence widely afforded to white women when they cry can be traced back to an original wellspring: the inkpot of Harriet Beecher Stowe.

This makes what Angela Carini did even worse, cos now it means crying those white woman tears was intentional

If you believe white women face less misogyny than woc, you shouldn’t call yourself a feminist as you are too naive to understand how patriarchy works. White privilege doesn’t exist when it comes to women facing sexism and oppression. Under the patriarchy, all women are equally oppressed regardless of their financial status, social status, colour of the skin, race, religion or ethnicity. No rich woman is less of a victim than a poor or middle-class woman just because she has a lot of money, no famous woman is less of a victim than another woman who is not a popular celebrity, similarly, no white woman is less of a victim than a woman of colour just because she’s white. Racism is a social construct created by patriarchy to divide women. On one side, racist white women (who are socialised by the system to believe being white makes them superior) exclude woc from their feminism, and in retaliation to that some woc cry about "white women tears" when they see them facing misogyny which in turn, again, fuels up the rage of white women and they become more hateful towards woc. This is what patriarchy wants. It wants to divide women by instilling hatred between us to pave an easy path for men to oppress women. So before you choose to ignore any woman’s suffering, keep in mind that by doing so you’re making it easy for the misogynists.

Tiktok white women mad that a brown girl could play Rapunzel cause "it's a German story"

And like lets ignore the racism (because if y'all think she'd be a great Mother Gothel but not a good Rapunzel because of her melanin especially after Mother Gothel is already a racist caricature ...) and focus on the fact that the Brothers Grimm went all around the world collecting stories which had been passed down orally and shared between cultures.

Rapunzel is not just a German story first, Even the Brothers Grimm got it as a French story. Rapunzel is an Italian story before that, and before that Rapunzel is a Persian story.

By the logic y'all are using Jasmine should be Chinese, Cinderella should be Egyptian Snow White should be Malay and Pocahontas should be 9 (and not in love with John Smith for god sake she was a real 9 year old girl)

[hippityhoppityyourenowmyproperty]

This is outrageous. A white woman loses to a woman of color in a fair fight after forfeiting, cries white woman tears, and gets $50,000 by an intersexist organization while the woc is publicly harrassed and villified and racist assholes insist she's a violent, monstrous abomination.

"Girlhood" and its just a bunch of pretty white women crying and wearing pink.

[itisiives]

Lol, she filed a fraudulent report to ICE. I knew she was one of those types to turn on the white woman tears for the police!

[mourntomidnight]

Yt feminists, r*dfems: “Women are incapable of violence and rape, I swear it’s just men that do it!”

Also yt women:

[bookish-cravings]

And I could bring up how the IBA never published the ‘gender tests’ they conducted on Imane and Lin and how dangerous and misogynistic the very idea of gender testing is and how the IBA is no longer affiliated with the olympics because of corruption and how Imane was disqualified only AFTER she beat a Russian boxer and how Imane has DSD and lives in ALGERIA where it is literally illegal to be trans - but I’m not gonna

What I am gonna bring up is how Angela Carini has faked injuries in matches before at the first sign of defeat

What I am gonna bring up is how heinously Khelif and Yu-ting’s opponents have been behaving and how they’re playing into the trans allegations because they’re sore losers who can’t just take defeat graciously

What I am gonna bring up is how Imane Khelif and Luca Anna Hamori have about the same build, but nobody is accusing Luca of being trans, in fact, it’s never a white girl that gets stuck with the trans allegations

And that’s cause you view WOC as more masculine, more aggressive and less attractive than white women - that’s why you never see white girls having to defend themselves against these allegations - and it’s also why Imane and Lin’s opponents feel comfortable adding to/manipulating the media shitstorm into going after these girls so they can assuage their own egos

This has nothing to do with ‘protecting women’s sports’ and everything to do with punishing WOC for having the nerve to be better than white ppl at smth

White women tears are so, so, so dangerous, those women knew exactly what they were doing, and I hope Imane and Lin both win gold in their respective divisions

[mist-sterious]

lololol

[2pen2wildfire]

Yeah idk who needs to hear this but "men are oppressed for being men" and "a marginalized person's maleness or masculinity is often a factor in how they experience oppression and they deserve to have conversations about that" are two different sentences and if you accuse someone of saying the first one when they say the second one then you are not an ally to marginalized communities.
