i think white women need to do more work amongst ourselves tbh
i think we often forget (or maybe even intentionally ignore) how important our whiteness is and our role is history re:oppression and violence.
our presumed innocence and fragility (something not often granted to nonwhite women) protects us too often from accountability.
call out the racist white woman in the store. call out the transphobic/cissexist white woman in the bathroom (if ur cis).
or talk to the victim and help them get out of the situation. more often than not your whiteness (or cisness) will protect you from any further action on the harassers part.
use your privilege to uplift and aid marginalized folks.

we gotta read up and hold ourselves and each other accountable.
i think often, too, we get caught up in the issues we face and forget the mass amount of privilege whiteness grants us.
we’ve gotta be mindful of that every day. even within our own oppression, whiteness can aid and protect us compared to nonwhite women.
