[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the WOC who apparently derailed the conversation by asking white women to step back. No one is asking you to shut up. No one is silencing you. When it comes to conversations about women, your experience is already the default; we are exceptions. In an article specifically highlighting disproportionate outcomes and what we experience, let’s let WOC, especially Black women, have the megaphone. [/quote] Women having their needs dismissed because they are women is universal, black, white, rich, poor. It's for sure more common among the poor and WOC but that doesn't take away a white woman's experience. And we can get rich white woman to speak about their experiences to bring about change, great. I'm a WOC but in situations like this, especially when it's childbirth and when women are so vulnerable, I'm a woman first. Don't fight with other women, save that for the medical establishment that thinks we're all breeders without brains. [/quote]
