Its our movement too, we're just frustrated that those with more money and race privilege and cis privilege and hetero privilege get heard more, because sexist, homophobic, racist audiences, feminist or not, are more willing to listen to them.

Its easy to only listen to heterosexual middle class white women, because those are the only women they're willing to interact with anyway and want under their thumb. Women of colour, queer women, trans women, well, they're the ones who get the same shit and then some, they're the ones who get killed. No one cares if we live or die.

Yeah, pretty much. It is really easy to stay entrenched in that system of thought, especially if that's pretty much all you've known, and had shoved down your throat by family, school and media from the time you're born. It can be hard to see at first and even harder to examine and know what to do with the information.
