Q: So feminism isn't about equality?
My feminism isn’t. It’s about liberation from gender-based oppression.
“Equality” implies that I want the right to do all the crappy oppressive stuff men do, instead of changing the rules so no one’s allowed to do crappy oppressive stuff anymore.
“Equality” also doesn’t work because – equality with whom? In some ways, I as a white person have real privilege over a man who is black. Black women don’t, though. And my feminism wants black women to be free from oppression, too. It’s not enough for me to have equal privilege to a white man and them to have equal privilege to a black man, because they’re still oppressed.
So no, “equality” isn’t what I’m going for. I’m not content to leave oppressive systems in place as long as I get to be on top; I want to change the whole game.
(If anyone’s looking for labels, the feminism I support is intersectional feminism, and the kind of feminism where we leave the structure in place as long as some women get to be oppressive too is pretty much liberal feminism.)
