White Feminism

White feminism is telling me I’m too aggressive and loud
Too much melanin in my skin to be considered credible
White feminism is saying everything is just a gendered issue
And the patriarchy has nothing to do with racism
White feminism is ‘don’t riot, be peaceful’
When they would rather protest in tweets alongside Emma Watson and Taylor Swift
White feminism is ‘it’s inappropriate for children’
From the upper-class white PTA mom
White feminism is armed with privilege and the power to weaponize it
And you best believe she swings it like a baseball bat
White feminism is ‘gay rights!’
But Marsha P. Johnson should’ve just calmed down
White feminism is ‘BuzzFeed says ACAB isn’t productive’
And she cites her white supremacy as a source
White feminism is telling girls to climb the corporate ladder in capitalism
And go ‘girl boss’
White feminism is ‘I am just as capable of owning slaves as my husband’
Says Susan B. Anthony
White feminism tells us not to show our bodies
Because then they have to deal with the fact that Black bodies exist
White feminism is not feminism at all
