Feminism INCLUDES intersectionality. If you purposefully exclude colored women, disabled women, trans women, muslim women, poor women, and queer women, you are NOT a feminist. If you choose to ignore the intersectionalities that shape a womans life such as her race, gender identity, sexuality, and class, you are NOT a feminist. If your feminist agenda ONLY touches upon western rape culture and sex positivity, you are NOT a feminist.
Say it louder for the people in the back
Stopping girl hate doesn’t mean you have to like or get along with every other woman. It just means you don’t tear women down for being women. It means you let go of your internalised misogyny, envy, and jealousy of other women. It means not using gender based insults to undermine other women. It means you don’t push other women under the bus for men. It means you stop holding other women to the arbitrary and restrictive gender roles you’ve been socialised into.

asian women are not “exotic"
native american women are not your “tribal playtoys”

men are much more horrified at women implying men are the perpetrators of most violence against women than they are at the violence itself. the whole time you talk to them about rape or domestic violence against women, you watch as they are quick to explain how men are raped and abused too. when you bring up statistics about how rape victims are mostly women, and most rape perpetrators are men; you will be called a man-hater. just remember that their responses are purposefully designed to silence the epidemic of male-on-female violence, in order to perpetuate the misogyny. to perpetuate patriarchy. remember that.
im here for women who’ve survived trauma and come out of the other end furious and spitting blood and im here for women who’ve survived trauma and ended up softer and smaller and less brave and im here for women who refuse to deal with their trauma, who fuck and fight and run, and im here for women in the middle of dealing with their trauma who cry on the floor one day and feel invincible the next im here for any woman who’s experienced trauma. you’re not handling it wrongly. you’re doing your best
