It is not ok to be rude and sexist to me, just because it's a part of your culture (not you, Renee, Obvs.) Not even when I am a part of the white, majority culture. It's just not ok. Ok? Also: hoorah! Good for you. And good luck with those multiple identities - they're hard work, no? I know this is a bit of a leap, but in the context of being culturally sensitive.

I love you! This is a MAJOR problem that I have noticed in the rad fem blogosphere specifically. No acknowledgement of class privilege and if anyone brings this to their attention then they silence you by claiming you must be aligned with the patriarchy. We need more voices like yours and more white feminists acknowledging that historically, the feminist movement has ignored WOC. Me too. I love you!
