OK, fine. Much of what you say is true, but the “white pants girl” in my teenaged life was black (I am white.) She had wealthy parents, tutors, fine clothing, and she hated me because I was poor and white (and trash, in her eyes.) She in with the “mean girls,” privileged, and was cruel to me on a daily basis. We both played violin. She had private lessons; I had brothers who threw shoes when I tried to practice. I was her special target for scorn. This isn’t a color thing; it is a privilege thing and sorry, but privileged women can be real bitches to others who are not. Why do you think all those college educated women voted for Trump? They don’t get a pass from me for their genitalia. I will not avoid criticizm of someone who is an awful person just because she is female. That’s not feminism, in my mind, and I have been a feminist my whole life. I DO give women the benefit of a doubt. But not a free pass.
