You said “feminism evovled to be intersectional”. I pointed out that this isn’t true because there is still anti-intersectional feminism out there and anticipated the argument that this isn’t true feminism. If you were never to make this argument, I guess I waisted some ink.
Still, the quote “If you’re a man, you take it” in 2026, sounds more like something coming from the manosphere.
He didn’t say it in 2026. So what’s your point here? OP shouldn’t quote Malcolm X because his language is outdated?
This is why feminism evovled to be intersectional.
That’s a very generous reading of events. I would say, intersectional feminism evolved. White – or otherwise exclusive – feminism never ceased to exist. TERFs are still a thing. You can claim, this isn’t true feminism, but that’s the “no true Scotsman” fallacy.
This is in part the older, gender neutral usage of “man” meaning “human” and in part ignorance about woman issues. There were black women who felt left out both from black liberation movements and from feminism.
“But the cease fire”
“Was never taken seriously by Israel. And even if, settler colonialism would continue”
As I already said, I just debunked this in case you might bring it up. If you never were to do so, fine. Can we please move on? I see how this might have sounded like a personal attack but please believe me that it wasn’t.
This isn’t too far from what I’m saying either but there are two points I’d like to make:
Feminism isn’t a monolith. There are intersectional branches of feminism but there are also transphobic, racist, imperialistic, Zionist, … branches. That’s why I brought up TERFs as an example for bigoted feminists.
Your framing makes it seem like earlier feminists realized their errs and opened up. Which might not be wrong but neither is the focus correct. It was black (and queer) feminists that fought their way into the movement. Or rather they had to create their own movement that later fused with feminism. My point is that it’s the achievement of intersectionalism, not of feminism. This might seem irrelevant and it doesn’t really contradict what you said but I think it’s an important aspect you didn’t mention.
