Women whose uteruses were removed w/out their consent? Women who were shunned for having sex out of wedlock? Women who were left in poverty because they had no way to earn a living wage? Women who were raped by husbands and had no legal recourse *until the 1980s?*
All of that happened to Black folks and systemically. Not one time did entire groups of women living in a town get killed and flooded over or destroyed in mass. Not. One. Time.
The number of women who were killed in history for being loose, who died in childbirth because they weren't allowed to say "No, I don't want children," who died at their husbands hands is not a small number. Deaths and harms don't have to be congregated in a single village or city to be systemic.
When that number hits 6 - 150 million let me know... aka Transatlantic Slave Trade
Under your logic, we don't have a problem with police brutality because Tamir Rice died in a different city than George Floyd.
No my logic is that they died due to Racism!
I feel like you're pretending I said racism doesn't exist. Or that I said sexism is worse than racism. Or that slavery was about sexism. What I have said is that sexism is real and serious. And if you don't feel its real and serious, then I guess you don't gotta worry about.
What I said was Racism is much more prevalent and harmful. Let's not put words in my mouth.
Girl, all you've done is put words in my mouth. Anyway, if that's what you said, then yes, I still disagree. Racism is prevalent and harmful. It is not *more* relevant and harmful.
"Girl" ... I just gave you facts about your "Sexism is just as bad" stance.
You mentioned Crenshaw earlier. So here's a passage from one of her articles. You'll notice she doesn't say "Race is important and sex is secondary." She says, both feminism and anti racism movements have often ignored how the intersection of the two can change our experiences in the world.
So one paper you found thru a quick internet search is proof vs. attending her lectures, reading her research, viewing her interviews over years, gotcha. You are trying to prove yourself right vs. learning. Racism has killed & affected more lives negatively than Sexism.
No, you ignored any example of how sexism has impacted women's lives as somehow irrelevant in the face of slavery. You haven't shown at all that women's lives are "less" affected by sexism. You just don't value the ways our lives are affected by it.
In comparison (keyword) Sexism is secondary given history and the amount lives taken. BTW: You don't know what I value, cause you are some strange woman on the internet
And the women who died at their husbands' hands? Or who were forced to give birth because they had no right to birth control? Or were raped and had no recourse because a man could not legally rape his wife? My point is that people experiences harm in many ways, not just towns being burned down.
Begging the exception, huh... More folks died due Racism across centuries.
Race is a relatively recent concept that grew out of the Transatlantic slave trade, so I'm not certain how that could possibly be true. Humans are 200k years old, and women have been property in any number of societies going back to our earliest recorded history.
That aside, it's not a competition. Racism fucks up lives. Sexism fucks up lives. Combined, they fuck up lives even more. I can name a long laundry lost of how racism fucks up lives, including my own. But you seem to think sexism has no legitimacy as a concept.
