Inspiring Minds

one of the most pervasive consequences of having academic feminism be centered on white women for so long is that white women have a real hard time accepting that they are colonizers and imperialists JUST LIKE WHITE MEN. They perpetrate structural and intimate violence on the bodies and psyches of WOC to a degree that’s appalling and transgenerational and ONGOING. But this violence is masked under the guise of ‘feminist solidarity’ or ‘inclusion’ or ‘diversity’ and that makes the violence all the more traumatic/ harder to discuss/ easier to hide. white feminists and white women in general have such a hard time conceding that the very ideas about womanhood they promulgate are premised upon the violent erasure of me and mine. they think they r practicing feminism but they r just enacting white imperialist supremacy. over and over again.

If you’re going to date anyone, please don’t make them feel like by them staying loyal to you that they’re doing you a favor. No one deserves to get cheated on because the art of cheating really leaves marks that last a lifetime. By cheating, you purposely, intentionally are choosing to damage a person. Not only a person but their trust and love for others in the future. If you’re going to cheat, leave, simple as that. Don’t stay around and waste others’ time because they wear their heart on a sleeve for you and you find that intimidating and simply can’t handle something/someone real and about you.
