![]() ![]() ![]() Not to say that there are places that are better than others, but we're doing this where two steps forward, one step back dance with actual equality. But I think we've got, what, 30 women CEOs or something like that, maybe 300 in the entire country? That's not a number that helps.Īt some point we have to talk about the fact that women are slightly more than half of the world's population and in most places are getting almost nowhere in terms of ongoing, sustainable equality. Novem8:36 AM EST We’re not supporting characters in feminism, and we can’t afford to wait for equality to trickle down to us eventually. Being an accomplice means that white feminism will devote its platforms and resources to supporting those in marginalized communities doing feminist work. You know, Lean In worked to make some people a CEO. Now mainstream feminism has to step up, has to get itself to a place where it spends more time offering resources and less time demanding validation. How feminist are we if we're not looking out for the people who build these institutions and sustained that wealth. People are not altruistic enough to hope that supporting white women will eventually trickle down to women of color or communities of color. ![]() I think it's necessary, actually, because as as the wealth gap grows, as income inequality and all of these other things are growing, we're hitting a situation where feminism is going to really want all of these communities to show up, to vote with it, to do all of these things. ![]()
