Dear White feminists,

It’s time we had a talk.

Because as a queer woman of color, I’m getting sick of something that y’all have a tendency to do.

It’s the same song every time: White feminists do something offensive, disregard the experiences of women of color, refuse to acknowledge that women…

Yes. They want to have their cake and eat it too, all whilst having men whip it up in the kitchen and WOC serve it to them on a platter. Where they do that at? Oh, yes-white america.

[TW for mentions of sexual assault and mentions of violence.] YASSS. And then when we call them out on this shit, they wanna act like they don’t know what we’re talking about or play like they had no idea that what they were doing could possibly be hurtful. Like, you really expect me to believe you’re that stupid that you had no god damn idea that erasing me and my struggles would be hurtful? REALLY?

I don’t even buy it when white women pull that, “Oh, wow, we had no idea!” shit. WoC are more likely to be sexually assaulted than white women, and face higher rates of violent crime than white women, and a lower pay rate than white women, and I know white women know this. I know they see those statistics when they pull out stats and plaster their white faces all over them. Them statistics they pull are about US. Don’t play like you don’t know bout us when you are putting your face on our god damn struggles that came because you keep putting your white face on everything, and then cry and try to uphold the patriarchy (while still claiming to be a feminist) when we call you out on that shit. When your playing cutesy pie is putting brown bodies in danger and getting us killed, fuck you for expecting us to sit by and idly wait for it to be our turn and getting mad when we don’t. Fuck you fuck you fuck you.
