racqthebelle: daniellemertina: the-perks-of-being-black: The excerpt referenced by Jonathan Frandzone containing the quote by Emmeline Pankhurst (the role played by Meryl Streep in the feature film Suffragette) is from the book The Women’s Movements in the United States and Britain from the 1790s to the 1920s by Christine Bolt, The University of Massachusetts Press, 1993. Practically every big name white feminist has a history of hyperbolically comparing their struggle to that of Black ppl–who they render gender-less. Just the other day I was reading Naomi Wolf’s book where she compares white women getting plastic surgery in the 1980s to the forced scarification of Black ppl during slavery. Like they’re not even subtle with this bullshit. As if the confederates weren’t called rebels and the confederate flag wasn’t called the rebel flag. -- source link
