10 Things Every Intersectional Feminist Should Ask On a First Date

As a queer femme of color, I keep close relationships with people who go beyond allyship; they’re true accomplices in the fight against white supremacy, queerphobia, and misogyny. If you’re not going to support marginalized folks, then we can’t 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.

“Gee- I thought a ‘sectional’ was a multi piece couch...”

I thought it was about plane geometry.

[usconservative]

If you mean this one, sure.

She talks about going outside the little box yet she has put herself in such a tiny box that it must be suffocatingly claustrophobic in there.

[Jamestown1630]

These frigid little feminists would have been horrified by the 1960s...

[Pecos]

Well, at least in favor of classy whores. Maybe that’s the newest wave of feminism..... 8-)

Wimen like these are toxic and openly hostile to the notion of family or even contributing to society.

I’m not sure how this author got permisson from her pimp to publish this.

[a fool in paradise]

What colo does she imagine her pale self to be?

Collin Kaepernick’z girl pal is supposed to be the political loon who insprires his activism.

She doesn’t want to step out of that box. She and her femme lesbian radical clique sit at the lunchroom table bitching about everyone else, looking down on them, and groomng the girls who read Teen Voyue to be as cool, popular, and sexually progressive lesbian feminist as they are.

We can't be friends, nor can we date"

[moovova]

Fruit. Cake.

[a fool in paradise]

It’s a bit nutty.

[AZLiberty]

She looks about 90% white, so I guess she's only 90% evil. She's 100% idiot, however.

Near the end of the article, she says, "Don’t waste your time and energy on dating someone who thinks that Islam is inherently violent or misogynistic. Instead, read some Huda Sha’arawi or Mona Eltahawy to educate yourself further on Muslim feminism."

Sha'arawi fought for feminism for decades in Egypt, and ultimately lost. Her Wikipedia article ends with, "Holding a somewhat romanticized view of poor women's lives, she viewed them as passive recipients of social services, not to be consulted about priorities or goals. The rich, in turn, were the 'guardians and protectors of the nation.'" Lara Witt would reject this woman in a New York minute.

Wikipedia quotes Eltahawy as saying, ""Name me an Arab country, and I'll recite a litany of abuses [of women] fueled by a toxic mix of culture and religion that few seem willing or able to disentangle lest they blaspheme or offend."

Tried to read this. I honestly did. But trying to figure it out just made my head hurt.

A two year old having a major tantrum could not related to this... what ever it thinks it is.

She is the foreign women.

I was stopped by the first word in the title: “Intersectional”. What the hell is an “intersectional Feminist?

[LibertarianLiz]

I’m so glad I’m 49 and happily married..

Hubby and I were newly married when the whole AIDs thing hit. I remember my hubby saying something similar; "Boy, am I glad I'm married."

I get the feeling that all Intersectional Feminist Dates are first dates

LOL! Yes, and last dates, too.
