Just so I can stop hearing the ridiculously stupid.
But for real for real, I would really REALLY like to not hear about the problems younger women have form "older women" and inter sectional feminism from people who complain about the cat fight image of women.
Especially when the people who originated and pioneered much of the scholarship on the topic wrote it and developed it
starting in their mid/late twenties into early thirties and continued well till now ( when many of them are 60) or well till the passed on ( still old enough to be OLDER women)
also the assumption that " younger women get it" ( has flashbacks, also was you know AWAKE for the past year for the fun book covers, boycotts old and ONGOING, as well has the reports form many other women who have a deep problem with the racism classism,transphobia, ablism and heterosexism among the "youth" movement.)
the really assholish denial that "older woman" is in fact
AN INTERSECTIONAL IDENTITY
rounded out by the fact that every time I've heard this bullshit
it has
predilected such emptyheaded "dialogues"
on all the older women being white.

Well, those older white ladies just don't like us young white pretty hip feminists!
Wait what the fuck did I just say
UGHH i just I am not even in the picking a fight point at the stupid mode right now
BUt could you not for the love of my blessed soul argue against monolithing
BY MONOLITHING YOUR " OPPONENT"
not to mention
for real you argument sucks if it's based on embracing a philosophy started and championed
BY MEMBERS OF THIS SAME "OLDER GENERATION"
I am dead ass all I want is women's news that doesn't make me fucking violent angry with the dumb shit
Bless my sweet (now VERY short) curly head !
*Screams very loudly into a cup of tea
"ageism" does not mean mean old biddies being OMG SO MEAN! to your skinny pretty white self.
wrt when anarchist boys do it: "ageism" does not mean your elders schooling your know-it-all teenage boy self.
ageism *does* mean pretending that you know everything and that the elders who fought and bled and fucking *created* the movement that you think is your own don't have anything to share with you.
ageism and racism and sexism and fucking ignorance is ignoring the real elders in favor of the more media friendly ones.
These shouldn't be hard concepts to grasp, y'know? bah.
Today I met a guy who had to be at least in his late fifties who created a life saving treatment model with nothing but his friends and his heart and his need to save his community while the FBI was tapping their phones and pointing guns at them because they refused to let their neighbors die.
Why the hell would I think some pompous anarchist boy or wedding-obsessed feminist blogger has anything to tell me about a generation gap?
oh anna i love you

YEah I love how that comes up as oh why will they not give me my way is ageism. But pretending they have no valid reasons for notw anting to acquiesce to your decisions is not.
or that tehy should automatically do so isn't
especiallye hen using teh ideas of OTHER women who are " they're" age or older
BUT!!!!!!!!!!
aren't white so they can't be in that generation?
so you steal from them but
only so much as it makes you look revolutionary?
and les stahn how many montsh ago you were down revolution and we're too radicl
yea shaddup
the funny thing is they think the *older generation* can't grasp intersectionality
and I'm all...um...what color is your older generation
and they're all...*crickets*
I think they think POC have only been around since the early nineties.
i just couldn't grasp the
decision there is a mythical older generation resistant to intersectionality
when most of that scholarship is witten by siad generation and some even older ones
coupled with tehre are few books on radical love by these authors ( meanwhile stating that yeah our reasings of womens studies are totes diverse)
bell hooks did a SERIES
shit if we wanna keep it to straight sex
polyamory wasnt born in 2000's
or by white women
so this is a fake fucking converstaion to disinherit everybody not in the I just need one thing to perfectly privileged category by presenting that the intersectionality they are fighting for is achieved
and steal from elders by pretending they don't exist
Cool! And as usual, just got here.
Indeed, bell hooks' series was one of the first places I ever heard of "intersectionality"--she is the person who filled in lots of the blanks for me.
She never gets asked on the TV shows, either, which just makes me livid.
