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

That does pretty well say it all, when it comes to this person’s credibility.
Look at her. She’s White. What the hell? Is she going to take out a gun and blow her own brains out? That’s what this is in slow motion.
If she ever hopes to have kids, she’d doing this and it will damage the world they have to live in.
In the event that anyone cares (Note - I only copied as much of this slop as I was willing to read; no need to follow the link or even read the entire portion I copied):

What is “Intersectional Feminism”?
Most know that feminism is the movement set on achieving gender equality. But not as many know what intersectional feminism is. So what is it, exactly? The term intersectionality was coined by civil rights activist and professor Kimberlé Crenshaw and can be defined as the interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discr imination or disadvantage. By adding the idea of intersectionality to feminism, the movement becomes truly inclusive, and allows women of all races, economic standings, religions, identities and orientations for their voices to be heard.
Over the course of its existence, feminism has mainly focused on the issues experienced by white, middle-class women. For example, it is largely shared and advertised that a woman makes 78 cents to a man’s dollar. But this is only the statistic for white women. As upsetting as it is, women of minority groups make even less. Black women earn 64 cents to white men’s dollar and Hispanic women only earn 56 cents. Intersectional feminism takes into account the many different ways each woman experiences discrimination. White feminism is a term that is used to describe a type of feminism that overshadows the struggles women of color, LGBTQ women and women of other minority groups face. So, essentially, it’s not true feminism at all.
As explained in this video, white feminism ignores intersectionality and neglects to recognize the discriminations experienced by women who are not white. It’s important to note that not all feminists who are white practice white feminism. White feminism depicts the way white women face gender inequality as the way all women experience gender inequality, which just isn’t correct.
. . .
Intersectionality is a term used to describe how different factors of discrimination can meet at an intersection and can affect someone’s life. Adding intersectionality to feminism is important to the movement because it allows the fight for gender equality to become inclusive. Using intersectionality allows us all to understand each other a little bit better.
At the end of the day, we might all experience discrimination and gender inequality differently and uniquely, but we are all united in our hope for equality.
They have constructed a false world in which all normal people are persecuting them. This enables them to blame their failures on the normal people, and to excuse themselves, and to get sympathy for their woes.
No sympathy from me.
Sweet Jesus!
What crap.
This brings up a counter-question for men - ask your date if she’s an Intersectional Feminist, and get up and leave if the answer is yes.
“...or fix her 89 Subaru...”
I wish you would leave Subarus out of it.
After dinner of course...stick her with the tab.

She aims to lead young America to experiment with lesbian sexual relations and support radical Marxist and Islamist politics.
She’s a writer for fashion magazines.
WTF is allyship? Are we all separate countries, all of a sudden?
DANG!
Too f******g good!
My #1: why not consider excess booze and sleeping pills?
I hope that’s not too insensitive.
She thinks capitalism is a bad thing....let's ship her off to the worker's paradise of North Korea.
This person is not acquainted with the real world in any way.
I think your BLM answer would get you booted off the date. In other words, You Win!
One sign of a fascist is handing over a list of demands and punishments.

An article about dating from a being that has never been on a date?
Typical liberal whacko. It forgot about Global Warming BTW.
At first glance I might say that she’d have no chance at a second date, but honestly, she’s a decent looker (although a little anorexic), and plenty of guys will mouth whatever insanity she wants them to if it means she’ll take her clothes off for them.
