“America loves the myth of a meritocracy more than anything else, because it lets us ignore the reality of the impact of bigotry.”
Mikki Kendall, Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot

Mikki Kendall
“One of the biggest issues with mainstream feminist writing has been the way the idea of what constitutes a feminist issue is framed. We rarely talk about basic needs as a feminist issue. Food insecurity and access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. Instead of a framework that focuses on helping women get basic needs met, all too often the focus is not on survival but on increasing privilege. For a movement that is meant to represent all women, it often centers on those who already have most of their needs met.”

“As you know, men are apt to idolize or fear that which they cannot understand, especially if it be a woman.”
