Criticism

Would adding information on racist groups and anti- feminists in this section complete data or give voice to hate speech? Rarober4 (talk) 15:34, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

What are the major ideas of the Black Feminist School of Thought? How do they criticized the Liberal and the Radical Feminist school? Malancha Roy (talk) 04:09, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

White feminism

Critics of feminism, as well as many feminists themselves, have often made the argument that feminism suffers from cultural relativism, meaning that the movement continues to be perceived as a primarily Western and primarily white bourgeois liberal movement. Regarding this view, the article should consider examining to what extent feminism has been influenced by white-dominated cultural perspectives. Some modern feminists have even been accused of outright racism, such as Margaret Sanger, who actually promoted the use of abortion to reduce the number of Blacks and other non-Whites in the United States.

I've replied to the same comment left on Talk:Feminism in this thread, if anyone is interested in discussing there. I also left a pointer there to this discussion. --Gimme danger (talk) 08:26, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

It would be helpful to specify why it became necessary to create Black Feminism which is a distinction from general feminism. Malik Amandla (talk) 19:27, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

bold Since White feminism is a huge modern factor of oppression in non-white feminist movements, should the article touch on different types of feminism and they ways in which they limit or enhance intersectionality ? Rarober4 (talk) 15:03, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Why does White Feminism redirect to the page for Black Feminism? White Feminism marginalizes all women of color (e.g., http://yourfaveisproblematic.tumblr.com/post/45822118430/lena-dunham - obvi not a wikipedia link, but a good place to start to get primary sources on examples). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pdeverak (talk • contribs) 02:05, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Automated peer review

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

• You may wish to consider adding an appropriate infobox for this article, if one exists relating to the topic of the article. ^[?] (Note that there might not be an applicable infobox; remember that these suggestions are not generated manually)
• Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, if January 15, 2006 appeared in the article, link it as January 15, 2006.^[?]
• As per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), dates shouldn't use ^th; for example, instead of (if such appeared in the article) using January 30^th was a great day, use January 30 was a great day.^[?]
• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally do not start with articles ('the', 'a(n)'). For example, if there was a section called ==The Biography==, it should be changed to ==Biography==.^[?]
• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading ==Magellan's journey==, use ==Journey==.^[?]
• Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
  • Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
• As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2]^[?]
• Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.^[?]

You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks,

2/1/18 Black Feminism: Evaluation

After the encyclopedia article talks about what Black Feminism is as an operational definition, there appears to be claims made in of the first paragraph under the History section that could use a citation, since they made a specific claim about the black feminism movement and what year it began. I like how the information provided for Black Feminism is detailed in a fashion that represents a flowing timeline. The editor did a nice job of updating the information according to era, as well as significant organizations that emerged during that time, for example the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee was mentioned under the "black women and civil rights movement" subheading Ebrault (talk) 05:33, 1 February 2018 (UTC). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebrault (talk • contribs)

MISQUOTING

This article credits Anne Moody for the quote "We were told in the same breath to be quiet both for the sake of being 'ladylike' and to make us less objectionable in the eyes of white people." I have just finished reading Anne Moody's Coming of Age in Mississippi in which the article states this quote is found. IT IS NOT IN THIS BOOK. It is however in The Combahee River Collective Statement. PLEASE FIX THIS ERROR. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.103.168.4 (talk) 02:17, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Redirecting African Feminism to Black Feminism Is Wrong

This is a huge problem. It absolutely should not be redirected. The proof is that none of the thinkers or ideas of African feminism appear on this page. People often treat African thought and theory as if it were African American thought and theory, but they are not the same. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wendybelcher (talk • contribs)

@Wendybelcher: I admit to not knowing enough about African Feminism. If you have some info, we can create a section on this page (which we can make the redirect point to) or a whole new page for it. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:48, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

@EvergreenFir: I have a student creating the African feminism page over the next week. Please let them complete it before making a decision. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wendybelcher (talk • contribs) 12:12, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Suggestions

This article is a fantastic starting point for Black feminist theory. Aside from minor grammatical errors and missing relevant information, it is well done. I think it's important to highlight other Black feminist organizations besides the Combahee River Collective. Here is a link to a list of twelve currently operating organizations: http://www.forharriet.com/2015/02/12-black-womens-organizations-doing.html#axzz4dAaxl6Ai Black feminism also birthed the #BlackGirlMagic movement and aided the #BlackBoyJoy movement on multiple social media platforms. I appreciate that most of the sources are reliable but wish there were more examples of Black feminists and more citations in the literature area. Ariellet (talk) 07:53, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

What I can contribute:

I would like to add a section in black feminism about black, lesbian feminists. This would help fill in the gaps for both pre-70's and post 90's requests for black feminists.

Some relevant sources:

Audre Lorde, “Age, Race, Sex and Class: Women Redefining Difference” (1978), 289–93

bell hooks, “Feminism: A Transformational Politic” (1989)

Cohen, Cathy. “Punks Bulldaggers, and Welfare Queens: The Radical Potential of Queer Politics?” 74-95.

Combahee River Collective, “A Black Feminist Statement” (1977), 268–73 Khaboninajoy (talk) 20:45, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

New Section to fill in 1920s- 1960

This time period was left out of the article. I started a new section to try to fill that part of the timeline in a little bit. I've added some citations as well. Please take a look and add some more, if you think it is relevant. Something on Pauli Murray's early work would be a great addition. Umichquiche (talk) 23:49, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Section need on abolitionism and the foundations of black feminism

This is a great page! The first history section should probably cover some of the famous "first wave" feminists of the abolition movement (like Harriet Jacobs). Umichquiche (talk) 23:53, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Peer Review for WGS 210

I like that this article is divided up by dates, loosely. I think this article would benefit from more specific dates in the 21st century section. The 21st century is a broad time period. I feel that this article would be benefited if there were specific years attached to when movements started, for the purpose of history. I also think that the "Importance of Identity" Section could use some expansion with additional resources outside of examples.

PEER REVIEW

I think that the article does a good job showing the different years that things occurred, I liked that I was able to see exactly when things occurred. Starting with black feminism and how it affects these individuals was really good, it catches the eye right away. When talking about the Media, and how this also affects things, is good because it relates it back to how things are dealt with in today's world, and that is exactly how things are today (everything is through the media). The end is good too, when incorporating the celebrities that go through this. I think this will be interesting to here when it comes to class presentations.
