I have zero disagreement with you. White women - like me - need to go to the BACK of the line - which is what I said.

For all the reasons YOU just stated.

I’ve got my own issues with the patriarchy but as far as I’m concerned it’s my job to elbow my way in, then make room for black and indigenous women to speak while I simply hold the space.

Not one of us is free until all of us are free. I’ve seen the behavior you’re talking about and it’s NOT cool. At all.

Co-opting the work of black civil rights women leaders like Kathleen Cleaver, Gloria Richardson and Diane Nash to climb the ladder then pull it up after is some fucked up shit. I’m not about it.
