How about the radfem community stops arguing and hating each other and we go back to hating the patriarchy, males, trans identified males, and “transbians” we could do a lot more good there than tearing our community apart

Sonia Johnson was right

Im sorry im not very knowledgeable on this subject, but who id Sonia johnson dear?

American feminist whom I adore.

She wrote in her book “Going out of our minds”:

“The theme of the women’s movement is female is beautiful, female is lovable; its agenda is for us to love ourselves as women, to deeply honor and respect ourselves and all women: not just women we agree with, not just other Lesbians or other heterosexual women, not just white or brown or black women, not just poor or working-class or middle-class or upper-class women, not just “well-adjusted” women, or healthy women, or women who smell good and brush their teeth regularly, or women who have accepted Jesus as their savior, or women who worship the Goddess. All women. And not just to like them, not just to find them non-disgusting, tolerable, okay. But to love them —completely, passionately, madly. To be full of compassion for one another, to be slow to take offense and quick to forgive. To conquer in ourselves the fierce pangs of competition and jealousy, and to rejoice genuinely in one another’s successes. This doesn’t mean we have to like the things all women do, or agree with them, or ignore the difficulties, or deny that what some women do is harmful. It means that we must learn to know in our bones and blood that women are not the enemy. It means that we must all stand together as the global class called women or we will fail as individual Lesbians and Jews and old women and women of color. It means that we must give highest priority to hanging in there with one another no matter what and working out our difficulties with skins of unparalleled thickness and the largest of hearts”.

I absolutely adore this!!

I don’t want to be that person™, but honestly I think this is actually one reason why the feminist movement broke apart and stalled. You cannot ask the same thing of all women unilaterally. To love *all* women, you must actually be willing to listen to women’s grievances *and* address them. Not minimize, ignore, or blame them for whatever problems we have as a movement. Sisterhood must not be bottom up, but top down or it is doomed to fail. See also:
