As a queer femme of color, I keep close relationships with people who go beyond allyship; theyre true accomplices in the fight against white supremacy, queerphobia, and misogyny. If youre not going to support marginalized folks, then we cant be friends, let alone date. The personal is political.
Beyond the lovely cushioning, happiness and support that we receive from our platonic relationships (which are, in all honesty, soul-feeding and essential), feminists also date! But there are questions we have to ask before we get close to someone.

This reads more like a primer straight from the Frankfurt School.
Gee- I thought a ‘sectional’ was a multi piece couch...
Out of respect, one can refer to a dirt bag as a “bag of Dirt”, but it does not change the fact.
If I had the misfortune to date a woman who acted like this, I might have tolerated the BDS question, but probably would have left skid marks by question 3.
She could be smoking hot on the outside, but crap like this shows pure ugliness on the inside. No thanks!
You've got to be the most pathetic, self loathing, masochistic human being to even think of having a relationship with this loathsome POS.
The theme of the article being “If you agree with all of my prejudices, we can be friends.”
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the end product of the various *-Studies programs that universities across our country instituted in the 1970s.
Where is the sarcasm tag? I must have missed that.
Subtitled: Why American Men Marry Foreign Women
I got this far, then jumped out before drowning: “I mean the kind of pro-heauxism where you understand the labor of sex workers of color, especially trans women of color who engage in sex work, because their experience and knowledge is crucial to understanding the oppressive structures of our world.”
Still don’t know if she is talking about whores, or about black cross-dressers. I looked it up and am still confused:
proheauxism 1. Proheaux. Derived from the more colloquial pro-hoe. (Spelling altered to reflect difference & refinement.) Black or brown womanists women and femme, cis or trans who are pro-sex and/or are sex workers and support sex worker rights. Committed to collective and personal empowerment, not just sexually, but through economic security sans judgment of the means. Radically thotty, and proud.
So...Pro-heaux is a transcribing of ‘pro-ho’, which would be in favor of whores? As feminism?
And...
"pro-heauxism "
Is that even a thing?

Do you have a problem forming a friendship with a lunatic, well DO YOU!!!
We need to come up with a term for women to counter the “toxic masculinity” meme.
“miserable dykes”.?
“Skankey feminazis”?
??
She could be a really cute goth-girl, if she wasn’t a complete lunatic.
“4Maybe I need some more coffee this morning, but I have no idea what she (he?) is talking about. But for some reason Im not inclined to read the whole article to find out.”
Neither do I nor do I care.
Hope she/it enjoys those 10 questions on the first/last date.
“Using my brain is hard, dating people with opposing views is even harder.”
Impossible.
Final solution to the white people problem?
“Thirty seconds of her hate speech and any reasonable person would make a quick getaway.”
To the nearest bar.
“The personal is political
Alliteration as a justification for bigotry? How special.”
Actually that’s absolutely true. Politics is first and foremost about self interest, and pretty much everything affects our self interests. So everything has a political component.
The left is much more conscious of that reality and acts on it.
It’s way past time that we on the right come to that realization as well and join forces and become much more proactive in defending our self interests.
