I didn't realize you'd quit grad school. How did I miss that?
And heh, number 2. I found that similar theme in my cultural inequality class. There were several third wave feminism articles that we read that, while emphasizing intersectionality, dismissed the ability of white women to ever discuss anything that has to do with race and that they shouldn't study it, etc. And it's weird because of course, being 100% white, I cannot live the life of a black women, now or 100 years ago. But I think I can understand what happened and still work to get their issues across? Fine lines, I suppose.
