How is it the some of the same women who will be so adamant about feminism, of
a woman's right to speak out on her own issues, feelings, identity - not as
defined or structured by men, so intent upon a sense of a "woman's experience"
- in terms of academic courses, organizations, activist, political movements,
"a woman's right to choose" abortion or not- even to the point of
disrempowering men in the reproductive process at all by saying that men
should not control such decisions because they aren't carrying the baby, they
don't know what it "feels" like to have such primacy in the reproductive
process- they plan and attend retreats, encounter groups, lectures, writings,
poetry, revel in artistic expressions representing the strength of womanhood,
etc.
Yet, they disavow such autonomy and consciousness for people of color?
They negate this consciousness the way some men negate this consciousness for
women.
How is it that such women can not see that they do this?
How is it that they see themselves and their views toward people of color as
so different from the men they complain of attempting to disempower them?
