White Tears, Brown Scars by Ruby Hamad is a good read if you're interested in intersectional feminism.

you're not wrong, but the thing that jumps out at me about the way she did it is the choice to go to church with him. in a race where el-sayed's religion was so in focus, it's hard not to see it as (at the very least) dogwhistling islamophobia

This also feels applicable to cis white gay men who often avoid integrating issues of racism, misogyny and transphobia into their politics.

I'm a white dude. I was brought up to believe everyone's created equal. I missed or ignored how long the path was to me being brought up like that. As I've learned more in adulthood about it, I remember hearing this phrase and not understanding it at the time: Feminism without intersectionality is just another form of white supremacy. I don't remember where it's from, but I think about it a lot.

The Empathy Gap by Tammy Triolo is a good read for anyone willing to honestly interrogate self

Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness with this hot take. When Hayley Stevens said in an interview that’s there was no place for her in El-Sayed’s campaign, I immediately made the connection. I find it so interesting that a dominant response from white women for not being centered is to harm, in this case, not just El-Sayed, but all Michiganders. Again, thank you, I can’t wait to share this with my students!

I would love to see white women respond to the question you posed. White women benefit from the patriarchy and this may not mind having a racist white hetero senator. Her need may still be met.

This is what happened with jk Rowling, she felt wronged and then doubled down till she was in Bell.

One of the *many* infuriating aspects of this is that knowing what oppression feels like should make us MORE empathetic to people who experience a greater degree of oppression. If I break my pinkie finger, I’m not gonna suggest I know what someone with a broken femur is feeling. But I HAVE experienced a taste of it, and I know enough to know it sucks and I should wanna work together with the person with a broken femur to destroy the bone-breaking monster. Not team up with the bone-breaking monster to help him keep breaking people’s bones.

This is why it’s so important to talk about intersectional feminism whenever feminism is being discussed

I think not considering or mentioning the fact that she is backed by AIPAC and so is Rogers makes this analysis incomplete

Also, it’s Abdul El-Sayed! Realizing now these auto-captions completely got his name wrong

Qwest336 :
I think you hit the nail on the head. There's nothing wrong with talking about ways they you are marginalized. However, when discussing that marginalization, don't try to weaponize it to trivialize someone else's marginalization, especially when that person experiences more than you do. For example,on average white women make less than white men in the same job title, even when they have more education and/or experience. 82 cents on the dollR That's marginalization. However, Black men make about 75 cents on the dollar and Black women about 65 cents on the dollar, still even when they have higher education and/or experience. So, talk about your 82 cents. But also realize that it's still better than Black men and women.
