TBHWT Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Sponsored Links by Black and Muslim Women Are Invisible to the Feminist Movement. From its beginnings in the 1970s, the feminist movement has been dominated by professional women. As a result, it has focused on sexual liberation and glass ceilings while the majority of black and white women alike reject abortion on demand and favor traditional marriage. This schism continues today: The Women's March on Washington excluded feminists who support abortion restrictions, and subsequently, the Democratic leadership announced it would support only pro-choice candidates. In the movement's early years, feminist activism on violence against women was roadblocked by black activists who feared it would be used as an attack on black men. As a result, there was a virtual silence on the disproportionately high rates of domestic violence experienced by black women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
