A Privileged Feminist's Rant on Privileged Feminism

A Privileged Feminist's Rant on Privileged Feminism

 It is by sheer luck of birth that I was born a straight, cis, white woman in a middle class family.  Yet because of this luck, the world bestows upon me certain gifts others are denied.  Since the election, I have thought many times about how easy it would be to sink into my privilege.  Turn off the TV, only look at interspecies animal friend videos on the Internet and live in sheer denial of what the world is becoming.  I have that gift.  Others do not.  Feminists with privilege have the freedom to ignore how misogyny affects non-white women in greater and less addressed ways.
