I have no idea how come I never noticed this before. Perhaps because I wrote Amanda off months ago and tend to ignore any subject if she’s involved.

Anyway, two months later and it’s still mind boggling. No wonder women of color are fed up.

I have been trying and trying and trying to get a white feminist friend of mine to understand this. No success. Absolutely none. I think they are way too paternalistic (maternalistic) toward black women. They truly think they are capable of “taking care of us”. ..and that we don’t trust them to.

As a young, Black, female anti-feminist I have to say that this article resonated a lot with me, so much so I had to not only link to it but also put in my own two cents on feminism on my blog.

Karynthia, thank you for writing this. I used to feel a sand grain of guilt about my beliefs–my suspicions–for choosing not to follow along…and now I feel none.
