Are you really a feminist?

[Raava]

I know on theColi if you disagree with a guy sometimes you are automatically a labeled a "feminist"

When it comes to your thoughts on women, women's right, relationship roles etc? Are you pro-black.

I'm not a feminist in the sense of what it is on here. I wouldn't consider myself one at all. I do believe in women's rights. I believe in equality in the work place, I believe a woman can lead. But when I comes to relationships I lean towards more traditional roles. I also don't think every little thing is an issue, what I call more like "tumblr feminism". I'm also not anti-man. I am pro black. I feel after everything in this country, the thing that most affects me is my blackness. Like I am human -> I am a woman -> I am a black woman -> I am black.


Edit: I also want to be clear, as treatment goes, I believe it should be equal period. I don't believe a woman should be slave to a man, that is not "traditional". K

OK.


What's the difference

 

[Ashley Banks]

Why?



OK.


What's the difference

because I think women should be treated equally. Anyone that's against that is a disgusting human being.

 

[LadySimone]

A real black woman is empowered by being called a bytch and a ho. Hates herself enough to empathize with black men who thinks other women are more superior, and will take bullets for brothers who call her dark butt.

 

[MoonGoddess]

I agree with everything you said.

 

[Arishok]

Why?



OK.


What's the difference

Womanism focuses on the oppression of black women

Yup. Feminsm is for white women, and womanism is for us.

Womanism focuses on the oppression of black women

What are some of the differences between feminism and womanism?

I imagine being oppressed for having natural hair is one of them...but why separate black women from black males when it comes to oppression

 

[Amy Traphouse]

I am not a feminist but I want to see women win. Its so much attention on black men and their faults/progression that women are pushed to the back burner.

When we try and speak up, its seen as a cry for attention or being bitter.

Because I go through different issues as a woman. I can't explain now because I'm in class getting ready to do a presentation but I will when I have time.

And it's not separating black men and black women, it's a sub section of our collective oppression.
