Statements like this give me hope

that I might someday be able to adopt a feminist identity [for now, my ideology and the dominant cultural ideology of feminists overlap in many ways, but there are aspects to the movement I cannot in good faith align myself with]. But change may be on the horizon:

"The reason racism is a feminist issue is easily explained by the inherent definition of feminism. Feminism is the political theory and practice to free all women: women of color, working-class women, poor women, physically challenged women, lesbians, old women –as well as white economically privileged heterosexual women. Anything less than this is not feminism, but merely female self-aggrandizement." --Reblogged from SisterOutsider
