In the wake of sex scandals that have rocked the British charity, an Oxfam staff training document says “privileged white women” are supporting the root causes of sexual violence by wanting “bad men” imprisoned.
The Telegraph reports that the four-week ‘learning journey’ states that: “Mainstream feminism centres on privileged white women and demands that ‘bad men’ be fired or imprisoned”. Accompanied by a cartoon of a crying white woman, it adds that this “legitimises criminal punishment, harming black and other marginalised people”.
The PowerPoint recommends staff read Me Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism, a book by Alison Phipps, a professor of gender studies at Sussex University.
It then links to the academic’s Twitter account, including a thread which summarises the main themes of the book, including: “White feminist tears deploy white woundedness, and the sympathy it generates, to hide the harms we perpetuate through white supremacy.”
Alison Phipps told MailOnline today:
“I can’t comment on the Oxfam training materials as I haven’t seen them, but my book is grounded in a long tradition of feminist thought and politics that sees criminal punishment as part of the problem and not the solution… I would never tell a survivor of sexual violence what to do, but I would like us to have better choices than criminal punishment, media exposure, or silence.”
Summarising the book’s central premise, the Oxfam document says white feminists need to ask themselves whether they are causing harm when they fight sexual violence.
However, the charity was warned on Wednesday night that the document, compiled by its LGBT network and seen by The Telegraph, could breach equality laws as it suggests reporting rape is “contemptible”.
Naomi Cunningham, a discrimination and employment law barrister, says the document may breach the Equality Act, which bans harassment in the workplace on the basis of sex.
“The message seems to be that a woman who reports a rape or sexual assault to the police and presses charges is a contemptible ‘white feminist’,” said Ms Cunningham.
“I think any woman could make an arguable case that this has created or contributed to ‘an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment’, which is how the Equality Act defines harassment.”
The Telegraph concludes with the following (rightly) furious words from feminist writer Julie Blindel:
“Calling women who have been traumatised by male sexual violence or campaign against it “privileged” because they are white is staggeringly offensive. To further claim that white women give more power to the police by reporting their rapists loses sight of the fact that if sexual predators did not face serious consequences, they remain a danger to all women.
Does Phipps imagine that when “white, privileged” women demand that sexual harassers be removed from a workplace that they do not care if these men go on to rape impoverished black women?
In suggesting white women are “racist” or harm black and marginalised people when they speak out about rape is nothing more than a warning for them to shut up.”
Is nothing beyond this CRT-enthused madness?
This shows how far the social pendulum has swung in the 1st World. What would have been hyperbolic comedy material in 2010 is now being taught as fact! G-d Help US!
Is nothing beyond this CRT-enthused madness?

Nope, apparently not.... I’m speechless at how nuts these people are. Rush was so right... liberalism is a mental disease.
While in America BLM fears black males as a threat to their emasculation tree hugging sub-movement, it seems in England they have a different take on the hierarchy of guilt, whereby white women are above white men but below black men...
This article only demonstrates how insane the left gets about anything that gets between them and their agenda.
When next they rape a black woman, is it okay for that woman to report them? Just want to be sure to stay on the right side of the insane, pro-criminal libbies.
Lie back and Think of England.
FALSE reporting of rape has long been a component of racism, and of civil right issues.
Saying that actual rapes should not be reported, especially based upon race, is contemptible and evil.
This is a good thing. If a nation has become so culturally neutered as to let things like this happen—it should die out and be enslaved by the superpower culture of Islam. This happened to Ancient Rome when the German Barbarians swept in. Romans fought back—we do not. Now the neutered Germans will sit back and moan on their computers while Islamic barbarians take over. Why? GUILT! We deserved it because of WW II Horrors, imperialism. Think England was bad—Just wait for Imperial China!
What if they do ???
They were raped by black guys...does this mean the black rapists believe in black supremacy ???
Does this make it OK ???
ROTFLMAO!
Black males battle their way back up the intersectional totem poll. Seems like white female feminists have fallen another rung on the victim ladder. I see the standings now as:
1. LGBLT Trans
2. BLM black females
3. BLM black males
4. #WHOME white females
5. Lesbians
6. Gay males
So white women reporting rape by black perps is *white supremacy*?
Jesus,
It’s time!
Come back! Please!
Not that I care much for ESPN, but your post needs to be a Weekly Power Ranking, with the little green and red arrows and last week’s ranking number showing who has moved up or down and how far.
Include the little snippets such as “Liberal white females fall three places as they are no longer allowed to report being raped by black men.”
Besides the humor value, it would be THE Scorexard that tells Normals “Whose on first?”
This has happened in the American military for decades...black soldiers rape white women and the white women are tossed out of the military as unfit when they report the crimes while the rapists walk...
Upside down world.
Next, they’ll be carrying signs begging to be raped.
A group to help women rapes in the military started a few years ago and they had a yearly summit in DC...they collected funds to bring the victims to the summit....Paid for the flights and hotels etc... But they ostracized women who said the rapists were black and would not let them speak...
I found the name of that group...
SWAN... Servicewomen’s Action Network dot org...
Most people dont know that a lot of the money was spent to put women on the front lines in combat, the trannies and other liberal causes etc...little is used to fight rape in the military...
This is typical of group that have arisen over the last few decades...great announcements they are the saviors of the military and veteran victims but its all lip service and a way to make money from the women’s suffering...
At one summit a man who was ‘married’ to another man was the main speaker...he claimed to have been ‘raped’ while in the service...The idea was that more men get raped in the military than women each year...
yeah at a women’s summit on sex crimes against women...
he went on to also be the star on a Senate investigation panel (for sex crimes against women in the military)
