new social movements, feminism, & identity politics

The reading “Mapping The Margins” by Kimberle Crenshaw brought to mind the many problems we as modern feminists face when dealing with intersectionality and inclusiveness. Crenshaw, on page 201, says that

“Where systems of race, gender, and class domination converge…intervention strategies based solely on the experiences of women who do not share the same class or race backgrounds will be of limited help to women who because of race and class face different obstacles.”

For your reading pleasure and convenience, I’ve decided to post links to several different blogs which have posted about “that sign” (which we saw in class) or just discussing Slut Walk and issues of seemingly inherent racism.
