@FemaleIsNotAFeeling The west is really racist. I feel the feminist platform here is no different. White women and even western women of color have no understanding of us. They think we are like cattle. We all have the same life, same life situation and absolutely no agency. I am sick of the racism and will not participate in this forum anymore. I find lib fems although stupid much less racist. A lot of women here use feminism as an excuse to hate non white men while cuddling up to white men. We are not separate from our fathers, brothers husbands and our sons. Expecting us to hate our families and leave our families for white women who are majority racist is fucking crazy. I did find a lot of nice women here, especially women of color. But the racism here is over the top. So I will not to be returning. Slowly most women of color with any sense will leave. Radical feminism has absolutely no hope of success if they other women like me. I am someone who comes from a Christian background and I am as western as it’s possible for someone from a non white country, yet you people managed to alienate me. What success will you have with traditional muslim women? Absolutely none.

@Ismat (That wasn't my personal opinion btw). There are some racists in here like there are everywhere, but there's also a lot of anti-racists. I'd hate to see a valued member like you leave, but hear and respect your reasons to.

@Ismat @FemaleIsNotAFeeling Absolutely agree. I just looked through that comment thread, and I’m sorry you had to deal with so much ignorance. I’m a South Asian woman who cut ties with her family, but I’m not deluded and hateful enough to think every other brown woman is in the same position as me. I’m also in a relationship with a man of a similar cultural background, and I’m very happy with him (gasp). It’s despicable to have people with absolutely no insight into our lives dictating how we should live. That’s what will bring radfems down - expecting others (men) to reflect on their privilege while denying their own.

@Haru_Okumura They read like they were just using separatist-sounding discourse as an excuse to be racist.@Ismat @FemaleIsNotAFeeling

@Ismat Well this is upsetting. I will really miss your insights but everyone has their breaking point. But yes, it seems that while we were here sharing memes, I underestimated the number of radfems who genuinely think most women will be happy in a world without any men. This movement will not survive if people don't understand that we can't take generalizations and apply them equally at the individual level.
