the Inherent Goodness of Women is a “feminist” trope that deeply frustrates me. it is actually extremely anti-feminist!!

Yeah, look at killer Kamala and Hillary. Supercunts.
That patriarchy BS. Feminists recognize that women are complex.
It's the Angel in the House!!
Kind of a throwback-a second wave feminist trope that doesn’t hold much water. BUT!
for us 4th wave feminists in the here & now, feminism, the experience of being a female in society, is our way into intersectionality.
trusting in this trope for as long as i did was one of the major reasons i went through a lot of the worst abuse that i've experienced in my life.
I work so, so hard to just be mid good and it would be nice to have a lil pat on the back for that

That tweet about how some of us bitches are very annoying is praxis.
The assumption that any member of a marginalized group is automatically a better person is frustrating. It means you’re not thinking of them as actual human beings.
also, that suffering is inherent to goodness, which just serves to justify the existing system and the suffering it produces
And suffering can also turn people into assholes!
