THIS. When I taught this novel to my 11th grade English class last year this was one of the things that was most shocking to them. They couldn’t understand why women like Serena Joy actively sought the oppression of other women and why they were so complacent about their own oppression. In fact, many of them told…

I don’t know how it happened. I am starting to like Katie Perry. This is the darkest timeline. It’s as if somebody went back in time to change the future and now we’re stuck like this.

I’m a white woman, just like you, and I also find it incredibly annoying that I fall under the same category as the white women who voted for Trump or solely participate in white feminism, if they even recognize feminism it at all. But the reality is we are all equal in our whiteness no matter who we voted for or…
This issue here IS white women. Like the kind of white women who would pick out a valid statement in an an important discussion on unity and call it dumb an unhelpful.
