White Women's Tears. #WhiteTears. #WhiteFeminism #Racism
“I refuse to listen to white women cry about something,” she told me. “When women have come up to me crying, I say, ‘Let me know when you feel a little better, then maybe we can talk.’ It’s like a man coming up and crying: ‘Oh, this whole #patriarchy thing is so hard.’ Like, no, we’re not going to do that.” #Feminism #WhiteFragility #RacialJustice. #RacialInjustice

This is another form of climate change. It’s just as dangerous. #RacistParents #RacistStudents #AP #WhiteTears #SouthCarolina #PutOnYourCoates #WinterIsComing

Question for longtime #Fediverse residents:

Was there a deluge of white tears inspired by statues toppling a couple of summers ago? Like, were there entire accounts set up to celebrate the heroes of yore, who were vanishing to museums and the bottom of lakes?

Salty, salty #WhiteTears.

Anyone out there read Ruby Hamad’s White Tears, Brown Scars?

As a white woman/feminist it’s been a f*cking huge learning curve, to more consciously listen to & learn from Black & Brown women. Gender isn’t the single/most important way that women experience oppression - and “white feminism” adds to the problem by deliberately & oppressively refusing to acknowledge this.

I genuinely feel like I’m seeing things differently since reading it 🤯
