“If you don’t actively fight back against the [people of your group] who are [bigoted or problematic] and stop making excuses or trying to disavow them then you are part of the problem”
—
Me, because it needs to be stressed.
It applies to feminism, to cis people, to white people (like myself), to abled people, to thin privileged people, to liberal and progressive movements, to political parties, to members of whatever little group you’re in (newspaper, activist community), etc etc etc.
Learn it, own it, never deviate from it. This is your goddamn creed if you want to ever fix the bullshit.
