I’m very tired of hearing that women only make 77 cents on the male’s dollar. It’s not a correct statistic. It should read: White women only make 77 cents on the white man’s dollar. 

That’s the real statistic.

Not all women are white. WOMEN don’t make 77 cents on the dollar, WHITE WOMEN do.

It’s important to remember.

Because every time we repeat that 77 number with no mention of race, we are erasing all women who are not white. 

Black women make 69 cents on the white man’s dollar. 

Hispanic women make 59 cents on the white man’s dollar.

Those women matter. Those women are women.

Women who should be included in feminism, who should be included in our movement.  

So don’t erase them. 

Oh fuck, is this shit going around again??

Those women matter. Those women are women.

Women who should be included in feminism, who should be included in our movement.  

So don’t erase them.

Oh wow, thank you white teenage feminist for recognizing that women of color are in fact totally women too and like, totally deserve to be part of your movement. How kind! How magnanimous!

Really? Fucking really? People are still reblogging this racist ass post without criticism? People don’t see the fucking problem here? 

Fucking! White People!

I don’t think people realize that when you have to say “These women are women too” you are not being very inclusive. We know they’re women, at least in the real world, not the magical land of suburbia. So include those fucking statistics and don’t point out that these are real women too, it’s fucking condescending and just reeks of a cracker upbringing. 

You want to be racially inclusive? Just include them, don’t shill your lame eurocentric bullshit about how you just discovered that people of color existed last Thursday. 

Reblogging for additional commentary. 

I am not understanding this commentary. Would someone be willing to explain, because I am not seeing clearly what the point is being made. I’m sensing a lot of anger and I’d like to better understand where it is coming from, if anyone is willing to help.
