feministdisney:micdotcom:‘Girl Meets World’ star Rowan Blanchard speaks out about the importance of intersectional feminismA Tumblr user asked the 13-year-old Girl Meets World star about her thoughts on “white feminism” and the notion that the movement may exclude certain marginalized groups, like women of color and non-cis/queer women. Her full response shows she understands intersectional feminism better than most adults.this show is moving way on up, up on my list of things to watch. Really impressive, especially for someone so young. (I will say that it’s not accidental that a white person is still chosen by media as one of the prominent voices for these issues despite so many people having talked about these issues for so long, BUT, that is not an issue with her as an individual – she is doing good, and even points out this very issue herself – it is a problem with the larger system, and which teen stars are seen as “saying progressive stuff” and who is seen as “too radical” even when they are saying the same thing) -- source link
