i really hate this tumblr trend of raging at the racist things that first wave feminists said
wow who knew that white people in the 1800s were racist?!?!?!?
feminists aren't in their own special enlightened all inclusive category above the rest of society so don't go around saying FUCK FEMINISM OMG without looking at the larger historical context
people excuse horrible things white men throughout history have said with "well it was a different time" but love to shit all over women
