Madgecast S1E9 - White Women: Let's Love Solidarity More Than Our Privilege

Intersectionality: it's not just a fancy word made up by progressives to drive nice white women crazy. It describes the way that different forms of oppression intersect and can't really be divided in how they show up in the lives of individuals and groups.

• This is the video from Robin DiAngelo, coiner of the phrase White Fragility, showing us how racism underpins almost every aspect of our lives, even/especially if we are not aware of it. It's about an hour long, and it's worth every second of your time.
• Ta-Nehisi Coates on why the abolitionist and suffragists broke apart
• A superhelpful post I read on Luvvie Ajayi's Facebook page, written by Leah Roberts Peterson, on what do with the confusion and upset we will definitely feel as we learn to confront our own privilege
• Intersectionality primer: So You Wanna Be An Intersectional Feminist? Amazing resource here, check it out!
