    Feminists of the 70s did not give two fucks about intersectionality or helping the oppressed…they only cared about white women getting the same slice of the pie as white men.

      White feminists*

      Black feminists wanted to talk about class and racism, it’s just the media didn’t give them a microphone to talk about it…

        Ya it’s an effect of the passage of time, that’s why we label the 3 waves of feminism in America. the movement got broader and more inclusive as the years went on. Which upset some of the older feminists like JK Rowling who refused the memo of equality for all.

      Continuing the tradition. The suffragette movement was tied to the civil rights movement. Until the white patriarchy promised white women the right to vote if they dumped the civil rights movement. Then the white women went “fyigm” and helped keep Jim Crow alive.

        It’s amazing how a large movement can achieve half its goals and then pull up the ladder on the other half isn’t it?
