@blackmastodon @histodons I hope this author has written somewhere else more convincing evidence that white women appropriating the mechanisms of Patriarchy somehow constitutes “feminism”. 🙄

@ScottGrimmett @blackmastodon @histodons The author specifically uses the phrase “White feminism”. What you just said, re: the patriarchy, is a core component of it. An article from someone else calls it “white supremacy in heels”.

@TheConversationUS If white women could own enslaved people as property, then they could also raise capital by mortgaging that property.

There seems to be a great silence on that aspect of slavery capitalism after the Panic of 1837.
