This is how some white women weaponise feminist rhetoric against brown / black men. They fail (or refuse) to understand that the worldview and systems of oppression that once subjugated women in the West, are the same that continue to subjugate the Global South today.
White feminism has an unspoken principle: the ends justify the means. Violent intervention is supported, even encouraged, if white feminist ideals are being ‘instilled’. Because for the white feminist, there is but one vision of womanhood, and it does not don a veil.
Silence is consent. To the Western human rights activists, women’s groups, celebrity feminists evading moral and ethical responsibility: In the absence of your words, your silence is speaking for you. | @Amaliah_Tweets
