▶ Maternal Colonialism: Feminism – Mexica Movement

Feminism was created as the means for white women to gain the same stolen and genocidal fruits of male dominated white supremacy.

Community Village‘s insight:

 

If feminism = pro women’s rights. All women (regardless or race or time) who respect themselves and all men who love women are feminists.

The concept of women’s rights existed before the English word ‘feminist’ and before the books on feminism were written.

feminism: the advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.

Feminism will overlap with racism, but that doesn’t mean that feminism is bad. It means racism that exists within feminism is bad.

A coroner says Alfred Wright, whose body was found on a Texas ranch, died because of “drug intoxication,” but his family calls his death suspicious.

The family found his body in the same area that the police said that they already searched. Apparently someone put the body there after the police called off the search.
