I'm new to this list so am just jumping into this conversation without much
context...
Certainly women oppress others -- and I say this as a pro-woman, pro-girl,
anti-sexist person. Let's not ignore the complexity and interconnectedness
of identity(ies) -- and not ignore the violence and devastation that many
white/anglo/European women have contributed to and created with our racism,
our silence around individual and institutional discrimination against
people of color -- our ignorance of and silence around
community/regional/national/international economic inequity and exploitation.
Not to mention the many other ways that we women can oppress -- be that
around issues of sexual orientation, disability and on and on.
Being a woman does not inherently mean we are therefore anti-racist,
anti-oppression. It requires work, commitment and an understanding of and
willingness to accept the interconnectedness of multiple identities and
ways we each see the world as oppressed and oppressor.

encouraging the full participation of women in their
