“If a master’s tools cannot dismantle the master’s chains, then this feminism is a false promise. One that makes you feel in control of your own oppression whilst continuing to profit from your suffering.” I've been saying this for years about us---we are often complicit in our own silencing, our own oppression. This is not advancing women's rights. It's in-your-face show that defending a patriarchal system will be rewarded by the master. That's a slap, sister!
This expresses EXACTLY how I feel about this joke of an ‘event’.
Brings thoughts of the airline “stewardesses” of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Independent career women dressed and trained to cater to men’s fantasies.
Wow, so true!

Highly recommend Ellen Atlanta’s book for more of these insights!! It’s such a good read and eye-opening! 💕
