Caitlin Moran and Lena Dunham are great, but take note Vagenda - feminism
   We at the Black Feminists blog aren't the only ones who find it
   uncomfortable being told where the limits of feminism lie by mainstream

     * Feminism
   A number of us at the Black Feminists blog were amazed to see a recent
   post by the editors of Vagenda magazine declare that âfeminism is, and
   not sure the feminists of the Indian Chipko movement in the 1970s or
   feminists. But the way debate on the subject has gone worries those of
   âintersectionalityâ is too academic and makes feminism inaccessible. If
   usage among some feminists, but that doesnât mean that the concept it
   of issues like feminism, racism and classism is dishonest. Language is
   important, but most feminists who use that terminology only really do
   Feminism isnât some elitist concept floating up in the heavens. It also
   f-word still have feminist views. Similarly many people know how
   is the stamping out of alternative voices and privileged feminists
   more academically-minded feminists, but the closing down of debate by
   so-called âbig name feministsâ.
   Itâs easy, perhaps, to dismiss my complaint as feminist âinfightingâ
   and privilegeâ¦fracturing feminist dialogueâ. But if this fantasy
   universal feminism actively marginalises other voices, and is so
   feminism worth having at all, is it?
