Men who want to be feminists do not need to be given a space in feminism. They need to take the space they have in society & make it feminist.

No Wave Feminists: barbiewitch: pretty sick of white feminists acting like the big mean... ›
pretty sick of white feminists acting like the big mean black girls are ganging up on them when they’re “only trying to help” and “fighting for the same cause.”
no.
it doesn’t help when you deny your privilege
it doesn’t help when you ignore poc
when you post a picture of a thin white girl with pit hair, that doesn’t help either.
i’m sick of the “we can’t represent everyone” excuse.
i’m sick of the “i can understand your racial struggle even though i’m not you” bullshit.
being white and feminist isn’t bad, but white feminism is.
yeah
so
caitlin moran legitmately just told me that she could not give a shit about the representation of WOC. SHE JUST SAID THOSE EXACT WORDS. as one of the most prominent feminists in the UK today, her particular brand of white middle class feminism is THE FUCKING PITS AND I HATE HER. please excuse my rage but CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS.
her book is called ‘how to be a woman’. HOW TO BE A FUCKING WOMAN.
can i not be a woman if i think representation of WOC in modern media is really important? more important than the representation of white women?
fuckkkkk her

“I’m not like most other girls…”
Subi has a bit of a rant about girl hate, and how deeply entrenched this awful way of thinking is.

Got a Girl Crush On: India’s Gulabi (Pink) Gang
In Uttar Pradesh, one of the poorest and most feudal areas of India, there is a long history of patriarchy, abuse and corruption. Now, an aggressive and outspoken gang of women are fighting the system.
Sampat Pal is the leader of the Gulabi, or ‘Pink’, Gang. This feisty crusader is making headlines with her vigilante tactics; when she isnt attacking police, she is teaching women how to wield the ‘lathi’ - a long, wooden staff - to protect themselves against domestic violence. With over 40,000 members, the Gulabi Gang has quickly become a mass movement.“Why do we have to take the law in our hands? I’ll tell you. The government doesn’t obey its own laws. They’re making fools of everyone. The gang are on a mission to ensure that those born into the lowest caste have an education, avoid child marriages, and earn a decent wage.”
Mahatma Gandhi famously preached non-violence. Sampat Pal says times have changed.
“I salute Gandhi. He was the father of our nation. But my style is different.”
