  • The problem is that, with a lot of causes like feminism, it’s kind of mushy. It isn’t straightforward, it is loud, it is a winding path. … I just feel like just simply supporting the rights of women isn’t enough with it and that there’s something more.

    This is why intersections are important, there are many interconnected struggles under capitalism which all run into common opposition along misogynistic/classist/racist lines and often with numerous overlaps.

    Having an approach which does not include the systemic forces at play from more angles than just one, can lead you to blind spots which cause friction with other people.

    I don’t think going out of my way to stand somewhere waving a sign for hours is what I think a good way to spend time with. I believe we should protest smarter by fighting with facts and being more focused than just allowing intrusive and irrelevant directives take hold of certain causes.

    Demonstrations are only useful if they’re actually demonstrating something. If there’s nothing actually threatening why should anyone take your demonstration seriously? This doesn’t mean you need to be actually getting people in danger, but shit like stopping traffic and being disruptive makes a point where holding signs does not.
