Talk:White Feminism

This page provides a brief but comprehensive insight into the concept of white feminism! Might I suggest however, including a section that explores the notion of “reverse racism” as asserted by white feminists. You can consider the arguments claiming the existence of “reverse racism,” followed by a debunking of the myth. This can be done by defining racism in terms of power and privilege, as well as distinguishing between racial prejudice and systemic racism.

Furthermore, you can create an additional section examining the prevalence of white feminism in popular culture and the media. This is merely a suggestion to get the ball rolling but maybe list a few mainstream white feminists (e.g., Lena Dunham) and expand on how/why their behaviours are problematic (e.g., Islamophobia, cultural appropriation). You can also discuss previously or currently trending feminist topics on Twitter and other social media platforms that were created as a form of resistance against white feminism (e.g., #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen). My final suggestion involves exploring the ways in which white feminists continue to silence and dismiss the experiences of women of color within feminist spaces and the movement itself (e.g., attempts to “save” oppressed Muslim women from their religion and culture).

Hi Merriam, this page is great so far! I think it would be beneficial to add a History section, to dive into the progress of White Feminism over time and how it has developed into what it is today. This would also help add more structure.

Hey good looking wiki page so far! Suggestion! Maybe you can add a small section on the response to 'white feminism'. This would either discuss Post colonial Feminism, Third World Feminism, or Standpoint Feminism. This can be a really interesting segment to your wiki page, primarily because it will allow other readers to see both sides!
