10 Things Every Intersectional Feminist Should Ask On a First Date
everday feminism ^ | 12/8/17 | Lara Witt

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.

The following list of questions is applicable to all relationships — certainly not just cisgender, heterosexual ones:

Lara dear, I’m seeing a pattern here. It seem that the only constant in all of your failed relationships, has been you.

What does femme mean in this context? Obviously it is a French word meaning "woman" or "wife." Is the writer someone with XY chromosomes who identifies as female?

Intersectional Feminism
Feminism as practised by self-righteous people who will take any excuse to be rude, demeaning, and even downright racist to other people in public. The intersectional feminist believes that just being pro-women’s rights isn’t enough and that that if you don’t also bitch about racism and exclusion of the disabled, LGBT people, religious discrimination, etc, etc, as a part of every conversation, then you’re just part of the problem.

The Intersectional Feminist will use their philosophy to enable poor behaviour and paint themselves the victim of every interaction they have with people who don’t tow their party line. When called on their behaviour and asked to try and get their point across without resorting to hostility, the IF will invariably cry racism against the “oppressor” who asked them to just be polite.
Essentially, these people represent the extreme end of a far, far Left political philosophy, where good ideas of equality and cooperation between all people are twisted into a constant reason to rage at other well-meaning people in an all-or-nothing quest for power where you’re either part of their solution, or you’re an object of contempt.

Exactly.

With all of that liberal gobbly-gook, there'll never be a first date.

Good luck with even finding a friend to talk to. Most people will not walk, but run, in the other direction to get away from you.

People like this author are toxic to society.

It’s stuff like this that has led to the “Men Going Their Own Way” (MGTOW) movement.

With that many litmus tests, will she ever find an honest person to date?
If she does, will she be able to stand someone as nutty as herself?
If so, I hope that person has a litmus test of hir/hes/its own that the author will fail.

It also works in reverse, as a means of uniting anyone who feels victimized by someone in so called power. I ran into it 20 years ago when I was a grad student at Queens College NY.

What is an “intersectional feminist”?

It's a woman who goes to pieces. (rimshot)

So I’m guessing she wouldn’t go along with my “seen and not heard” thesis....

Someone who uses the phrase, “I know, I should STAY IN MY LANE” repeatedly, is someone who does not stay in their damn lane.

Get out of my lane, you psycho witch!

Kooky ideas aside, folks who write about "who you need to be before you date me" are really writing: "Why doesn't anyone want to date me?"

I went to school when this sort of ideology was just hardening. Lots of proud, pretty, outspoken "social leaders" filled with hate - gals I onced kissed from time to time - still call me (me, a conservative Zionist,) and ask if I'm 'still single.'

Treachery, isolation, fear, and intellectual prostitution are part and parcel of everything under the red flag.
