This is the bullshit white feminist line of thinking that deters WoC from joining the feminist movement.

It ignores 1) that women is a blanket term and that fact thewomen of color experience both sexism and racism 2) that the feminist movement is latent with racism.

And by trying to equate the oppressions, you actually undermine the history of racism and the existence of Women of Color.

Sexism does not affect everyone the same. Racism is not the same as Sexism, nor does it have the same consequences.

“Suffering is not necessarily a fixed and universal experience that can be measured by a single rod: it is related to situations, needs, and aspirations. But there must be some historical and political parameters for the use of the term so that political priorities can be established and different forms and degrees of suffering can be given the most attention.”

Anyone that doesn’t realize this hasn’t fully examined the status of women of color in this society nor do the understand the basic assertions of functional feminism.
