Feminism

I read a lot of things, and they come from a lot of sources. So far, I have reviewed just those stories that are completed or have been formally published. Today, I will be reviewing a post by a Facebook Page that I follow. The post is not titled and is only signed with a moderator's handle.

The post is about a type of feminism that ignores the fact that there are specific differences among women that need to be acknowledged. The challenges faced by a woman of European descent are not necessarily the same ones faced by Native women, Asian women, Latinas, and "women of color". Religious descent has its own impact upon the needs of women.

The poster went on to mention several things that this type of feminism had done in the last year. The overall feeling of the post is that of a rant, rather than an editorial. I suppose this is because it is the poster's personal feelings rather than an informational piece meant to educate women in the different stances necessary to fulfill the needs of non-European descended women.

Being a woman of native descent, Choctaw in specific, I would have liked to see more about the specific challenges of these racially diverse groups. I would have liked more of an editorial feel of the piece rather than a rant that seemed to focus primarily upon the African American group and how they were being mistreated. While other groups got a brief mention, once again a discussion on diversity among women became focused on the needs of this one group over all others.
