Resetting The Table

Get Behind Me, White Feminism


Listen Later

In this fiery episode, which builds off our Gender Troublemaking episode, Maria, Céline, and Trixie have a candid conversation about white feminism 101. What is white feminism, how does it show up in everyday interactions and norms as well as society and culture more broadly? How have we experienced and witnessed the harm done by white feminism, historically, and today? In this salty, laughter-filled discussion, we cover the history of white feminism as in league with white supremacy, pop culture examples, and TERFism as a form of white feminism.

Content note: In this episode, we mention slavery, sexual violence and lynching. These topics are not covered in depth or detail. As always, do what you gotta do to take care of yourself and skip this episode if that’s what you need.

Technical note: We had some sound issues with this episode, so you might notice some weird blips, background noise, and static. Thanks for the patience as we do our best to address this moving forward.

Notes & Annotations:

  • Maria references a previously-mentioned book, White Tears/Brown Scars by Ruby Hamad
  • Jane Campion’s Comment About Venus and Serena Williams Is a Perfect Example of White Feminism (Teen Vogue) 
  • White Women Ain’t Fragile (Nor is White Supremacy) by Rachel Ricketts
  • Detailed Youtuber response to JK Rowling’s Essay 
  • Céline and Maria mention one of their favourite podcasts, Witch Please, a feminist Harry Potter podcast. Their latest episode on Rape Culture ties in well with this episode if you want to learn more, through the lens of Harry Potter!
