Feminism & Women’s Liberation Are Not Imperialist

Putting a female face on imperialism and capitalism doesn’t make it excusable. Stop calling women who participate in the exploitation of marginalized communities “girlbosses.”

{In fact, this approach is nearly textbook in the manner in which it is done—the oppressors will often take a handful of people from a marginalized population or community and prop them up to be “examples.” These select few are then advertised as what the rest of the community could be or aspire to if they worked harder, essentially serving as the face of “this can one day be you!” But, what they don’t tell you is that you can’t hold solidarity with both them and the people at the same time; you must choose. So, what did these women choose?}

One day as Obama was being confronted by an audience guest, he, Obama, made the statement, if you don't like the way things are then run for office. It's just that simple huh?

{With the Obama presidency being thought of as the ultimate achievement and a possible catalyst for a post-racial society, much of the grassroots organizing and activism that occurred before went on a long hiatus. It only started again once Trump was elected eight years later, with people realizing that the struggle wasn’t over. Therefore, it makes perfect sense as to why we’re making the mistake with women (especially of color) in high positions. We like to think that they’re shattering glass ceilings when in reality, they’re building fortresses that are far more indestructible than glass could ever be. After all, when you’ve added so many intersections and diversity to a harmful system, it’s much harder to point out that the system is harmful.}

How many of you are aware of the current growing mass deaths going on today? Pretty much daily there are mass shootings happening with African Americans and Asians under attack. Advocacy groups---seemingly little genuine concern to call out those they advocated for in the last election. Sincere acknowledge with action from our representatives---none. All the liberal MSCM are busy attempting to glorify Biden while Fox and the far right Internet sites are building a new wave of hate. As a new direction of voter tampering is underway in republican strong states. All the major issues that resemble a imperialist state are being ignored except the conditioning towards wars with Russia and China. All the policies Biden is continuing from the Trump administration, or worsening, ignored.

{ When we paint the elite and the powers that be as our saviors, we’re doing a disservice to the women who organize and fight for equality everyday at the ground level.}
