White feminism is killing the project of equality, argues Rafia Zakaria. She says dominant feminism is based on a set of beliefs and principles that upholds an exclusive system of "whiteness" and bolsters white supremacy — ultimately ignoring the challenges and concerns of women of colour.
The lawyer and author of Against White Feminism says she felt compelled to write an alternative history — a story that turns the spotlight off whiteness and on to the intersectional perspectives from brown, Black and Asian women.
Zakaria says her book is intended to provide different dimensions of the feminist movement that exists today and to also give women a reason to press on, "such that every woman who calls herself a feminist, of any race, class, nationality, or religion, can see a path forward and a reason to stay."

Indeed. Without whites it wouldn't and can't exist. That seems to be lost on some.
Where de White Women at?
White women ought to give their privilege to Black Trannies!

Oh, STFU already.
My reply may be inappropriate due to a few shots of Hennessy, but I mean it.

But Your reply, like your statement here, was at least honest, and many of us don’t give a fig about “inappropriate”! So go ahead, have another shot of Hennessy, my friend!
This is why, when one of these Woke twits says they are offended or whatever you can smile warmly and say “You’re welcome!”
Tossing in an “can I offend you some more, princess?” may work too.

Excellent thinking and advice. Thank you!
What is interesting is I agree with her premise that liberal white feminist destroyed the feminist movement but hate the woke, CRT language she uses to describe the issue.
Twenty plus years ago, in my undergrad senior thesis seminar a met a girl calling herself a second generation feminist. Her mom was a leader in the movement, and the girl was researching why the movement fell apart. One of rye primary conclusions, which she proved, for her paper was that the main movement did not take into account minority feminist and their needs. Black women were or interested in the bra burning, antiwar protests, and posturing of stuck up white women. They need hard things like wages, food on the table, good jobs, safe families, and respect. The large umbrella called feminism did not represent openly these concerns and privately pushed away minorities. I do think that there was some racism/ethnicity “challenges” within the movement. It was a great paper. I peer reviewed it for the class and it Really opened my eyes to the reality of the movement and it’s failures.
NOW for years was run by WASP types and I don’t know if that has changed.
It’s going to come to that, I’m afraid.

I thought it was only white men that were evil. Now they are going after white women also.
Thanks 3rd wave feminists...you really believed you were part of the mob and that the mob wouldn’t come for you.
If you didn’t get the memo...white females are many levels down on the intersectionality chart. Now you must sit down and shut up, allow the even more crazy to take control of the narrative.
If you didn’t see this coming you were a fool.
We have yet to grasp just how evil Democrats have become.

Well I can assure you of one thing: I’ve not been included in the “we” of whom you speak for 35 years, ever since “The Swimmer’s” 1987 “borking” (character assassination) of President Reagan’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Robert Bork.
Pal, you read my mind. Way past time these liberal idiots started feeling some real pain.
Different dimensions indeed Hotel California is full up on them.
oh noooooooo!!!!!!

Many of us today have become convinced it’s the other way around, especially in the South. Some people there contend it’s because many Black males in that section of the country, while known to be proud of their race, are also proud of their dignified personal demeanor, especially in the public domain.
I can’t believe a racist like this woman can find a publisher.

Are you kidding? Publishers are completely amoral, and their decisions are driven by ONE thing. Can you guess what that is?
Dear White Women:
Feminism is about to become your worst nightmare, if it wasn’t already.
Sincerely,
Academia and the Fake News Media (except this time we’re telling the truth!)
Islam gets a pass, amirite?
equality ?? Thought that word was forbidden.
About 20 years ago feminism went from being helpful, to a pit of boiling hatred — against anyone not in the cult.
Let them cancel each other
