    Because it widely breaks down to the same sort of discrimination. Feminism without anti-racism means that the discrimination we see towards women won’t disappear, it’ll just be shifted towards people of color. How successful is your movement if all you did was export the bad shit to other people so it’s not your problem anymore?

    If the response to “Women shouldn’t have to do housework” is “Yes! Juanita should do the housework!” Then something failed.

      This seems to assume that there’s a certain fixed amount of “bad shit” that must be placed on one minority or another. If I eliminated all police brutality (which in the US disproportionately is aimed at black people), does that somehow make things any worse for women?
