This absolutely can/should be a first step, and MUST be a first step, as the intersectional feminist movement needs more bodies. It’s the job of the white ladies who are already doing or planning to do what Kara has outlined to be patient/encouraging to the white ladies who aren’t there yet. WOC have the right to be…

I want to be with you on this, I want to say that we should encourage the people who came out to keep doing the same thing, but on the other hand things like these are meant to be challenging. If you go there and you’re triggered by truth in the form of people noting on their signs that 53% of white women voted for…

What say you, cheerleaders?

You mean a private school that’s flush with cash didn’t do the right thing to accommodate a student with above-average aptitude?

Wow. That’s one of the most clear cut cases of discrimination I’ve read about in a long time. Did the school not even bother to consult a lawyer?

It’s not that an individual protestor chose not to accept a flyer; it’s the fact that the white women she encountered were happy to take pics/videos of her “exotic” dances/prayers/clothes but showed absolutely no interest in learning about the struggles facing NA women and doing something about it.

There is a strand of trans advocacy that suggest that any explicit connection of vaginas/wombs/ovaries and “womanhood” is transphobic because it fails to recognize the (completely correct) reality that there are many women who lack those particular organs, either because they are trans individuals who have chosen not…

Israel aside, abandoning our permanent Security Council seat and the power that comes along with it would be profound insanity. Russia and China would be absolutely ecstatic, though.

I don’t know that what’s being criticized is the failure of any particular woman to attend any particular protest. I think what’s being criticized is the tone-deaf notion that the need for protest arose suddenly on Nov. 9, which is certainly not true for many people in this country who have had to fight for equality…

I read the Tweetstorm the woman from Indigenize OU, and she brings up some very valid points about white people in the crowd wearing Redskins caps and not taking them seriously. Those criticisms are serious and do show that a lot of the people marching suffered from intersectional blindnesses that need to be pointed…

I’ve seen so many commenters (Twitter, etc.) say that women were marching for rights they already have. That it’s stupid because Trump hasn’t taken a single thing away from any woman in this country.

Agreed! The Topeka march was so inspiring! I loved when the Native American woman placed the Black Lives Matter shirt over the lectern and the crowd went nuts cheering! In Topeka, Kansas, for the love of god!!!!!

Now this is the first thing I’ve read that’s actually comforting. You’re right.

so amazing!!!!!!!

The sad part is he does have a lot of supporters.... but they’re lazy as fuck, they rather go on Facebook and talk about the inauguration than actually be there, their excuse “ we have jobs unlike Obama supporters”.... 😖😖😖. It’s called taking off in advance idiots, most jobs allow that : ).

My favorite from Philly which had NO media coverage.

A smart administration (lol) would address the march in a manner something like this: “We embrace the public’s right to exercise their First Amendment right to peaceful assembly, and we hope that, in time, we can show ALL of America that we are with them, and working for the greater good of every citizen.”

“Reality has well known liberal bias”

They forgot who they were for a while, and they’ll eventually forget again, but Ed Murrow didn’t die, he transubstantiated - he sleeps now in the heart of every journalist, waiting to be awakened in the darkest times.
