Same. For fuck's sake, this has been constantly referred to by bell hooks and Audre Lord. I got so fucked off by feminist that I have rebranded it "white women's problems." I'm a Womanist. Look at the shit Beyonce gets on this site for not fitting whatever feminist standards and she self-identifies as a feminist!

Wait, what? Why the hell do people of colour have to stay "in the club" if they don't really want to put up with the racism they're experiencing there? It's not letting the side down to say 'this cause is institutionally fucked, we're not going to sit here and try to make you better, we're going to do this our way and…

There isn't objective right or wrong, unless you're religious. Everything is relative. But there's such a thing as modern values and in our age, they include prioritising human life and well-being over anything else (on paper, anyway), so human rights should always trump cultural relativism, in cases where the harm…

Yup. Men like this project. They can't imagine we really want equality, because they don't want it.

"Just because it is your culture and tradition you don't get to mutilate your daughter's genitals, lock your wife away from the world or throw acid in her face."

Yeah, opposing the burka is Islamophobic and in my opinion, completely against the basic tenets of Feminism. The way women dress should be THEIR choice, end of discussion. So if Feminists have an issue with legislation regarding women's clothing, such as that in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, France and the…

You obviously aren't if you still continue to act like an idiot. Have. A. Seat.

And then everyone proved to you exactly *why* feminism is Le Racefail.

Piss off you're not entitled to any sort of explanation. Why is is Black women always have to prove ourselves, and cite sources everytime we claim something. As WoC I don't identify with feminism because most women who claim to be feminists never think about intersectionality, womanhood isn't the same for all races…

Feminism also has huge problems with class. Still. Always had and I suspect always will.

Lol sure, race is totally front and center. Like on Jezebel, where pubes are a biweekly topic of conversation, but immigration as a feminist issue comes around once in a blue moon. Or where the conversation about SAHMs revolves, still, entirely around rich white women and what they would and should chose, not about…

You're the one who's woefully out of touch with modern feminism if you think the race issue is a thing of the past.

I stopped reading at "I don't think they're valid". That's exactly what I expected.

Someone is trolling because you've never heard about the myriad valid criticisms women of color have with the feminist movement?

The Patriarchy that feminism opposes isn't "rule by males". We oppose the social and cultural attitudes that demean femininity and demand classical masculinity as an imperative from all men. It's about trying to defeat the double standards held about gender and sex that damage BOTH sexes, not just women.

The responses to your comment prove your point by the way.

Oh, it's not accidental. There are people like Rush Limbaugh who devote a lot of time ti bashing not just feminists but women. Remember Sandra Fluke?

......because wanting equal rights is exactly like setting up death camps for——? I almost want an answer from these dudes but they never answer.

Some of it is happening in comments on this very article! "Secular Humanism" basically just means "I'm a feminist, but I have no idea what feminism means, and because it has 'Fem' in it, I assume it's bad."
