If you like Return Of The Jedi but hate the Ewoks, you understand feminist criticism ·
We’ve fallen into an all-or-nothing rut with feminist criticism lately. Battle lines are immediately drawn between movies that are “feminist” (i.e. “good”) and “sexist” (i.e. “bad”). And that simplistic breakdown is hurting our ability to actually talk about this stuff.
…As the tendency to discuss things in terms of simple binary either/or models usually does.

When White Feminists Respond to Anti-Racism Like Men Respond to Feminism
When White Feminists Respond to Anti-Racism Like Men Respond to Feminism — Everyday Feminism
If I see another article from Black Feminists or White Feminists labeling each other and giving holier-than-thou, overly verbose sermons on how the “other” (or even “their own”) group of feminists are bad feminists/progressives/people I am going to loose my shit. The only articles feminists seems to write anymore are ones talking about race. And how bad “other” feminists are.
Ladies, I hate to break it to you but you all suck as feminists. If you spend more time talking about race than gender when you’re discussing feminism you not only suck at being a feminist, you have some serious comprehension problems as well.
Stop talking about racial divisions, stop dividing women up along overly-simplistic racial lines and spend a lot more time working on feminist issues. Together. Seriously. For the love of God, stop helping the bad guys divide and conquer.
P.S. Nobody who doesn’t already agree with you is going to read a comic that long. Ever. Get over your well-intentioned self and stop being such a trite, smug asshole.
