Impudent Sisyphus

dank-potion:

If you tell a Muslim woman that her hijab (which she chooses to wear on her own terms) is oppressing her, you are wrong.

If you suggest to a woman that she doesn’t respect herself because of what she wears/does with her body, you are wrong.

If you agree with the use of the slogan “Woman is the Nigger of the World”, although black women have consistently stated their unhappiness with it, you are wrong.

If a non-heterosexual woman tells you she doesn’t like the term feminism because it’s not inclusive and you shun her for her concerns, you are wrong.

If a non-cisgender woman says her problems aren’t addressed and you tell her that feminism isn’t for her, you are wrong.

If you ignore the painfully obvious degrees of patriarchy, misogyny and oppression women of different backgrounds face, you are wrong.

If you derail any woman who is not white and voices her concerns over the mis/under representation of her ethnicity, you are wrong.
