Well..hmmm… there is certainly truth in what Sara writes. White women can be quite ignorant of intersectionality…but then there’s this:
“ Sara Roebuck: I live in Paris and write shit in cafes: Dear straight white girls: acknowledge your privileges before you hashtag #feminist”
I do wonder if the author even senses how ironic her own positioning is. Although I could sit in Parisian cafes (or Athenian, Roman, whichever cultural place-icon suits) and write s%t too, somehow identifying myself as the priviliged producer of online rants in this way when I denounce racialized privilige from my peer group…. yes, #Acknowledgeyourprivilige indeed…
