The following is an excerpt regarding the most recent controversy in the ongoing feminist fight against feminism:
The movie is set in London. This isn't about Americas history with slavery. By acknowledging that white women have been oppressed, no one is discounting the fact that women of color have been, as well. And by celebrating the accomplishments of those women, we are not dismissing those who were not included in that struggle.
Well done! Sister Suffragette!
The right has it so easy, don't they? They can just all agree to rewrite history or ignore it altogether because they don't really have anything to be proud of. Instead of throwing that in their faces and cheering ourselves on to victory, we are demanding more of our history. Reflect quietly on that sentence, please. We cannot rewrite our history, either. But by denouncing it as if every element of it had to meet today's standards, we condemn ourselves to having had no accomplishments.
