Sometimes people need to shrug off a label that no longer fits. And “feminism,” as a movement, has been problematic for WoC since its genesis, to put it lightly.

I offer kudos to those who refuse to stay within that confine. And Kudos to those who choose to continue using it.

“I am not giving up on feminism, because I never really got invested in that movement.” I can’t remember who first said this, but it wasn’t me. I just agree with it. We may not have the numbers to be womanists, but I’ll be a womanist or poco feminist because the personal truly is political.

Whoever prints up “FSP” shirts, e-mail me–I’m in for two!

Walking away from feminism because of mistakes made by other feminists is not something I can comprehend. Mistakes happen, yes this was a horrid, insensitive, racist, f$#% up of a mistake made by Amanda Marcotte and her publishers but it’s one I would hope we can all learn from rather than one that sends us running away from each other.
