“When women of color speak out of the anger that laces so many of our contacts with white women, we are often told that we are ‘creating a mood of hopelessness,’ ‘preventing white women from getting past guilt,’ or 'standing in the way of trusting communication and action,’” Lorde said. – I want no part of the type of feminism that refuses to acknowledge that women of color face a different type of misogyny than white women do. I want no part of the type of feminism that discriminates against and dismisses sex workers and the trans community. You should not be allowed to call yourself a feminist if you don’t fight for all women. You Amy Schumers and Lena Dunhams of the world can get mad all you want, but we will not stay silent, your white feminism is not needed nor wanted here. ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
