    Send us Fan Mail

    We're back!!! Sorry we disappeared for a moment there. But don't worry, we're still here, we're still friends and we're still down for exposing white women and how we enforce and support white supremacy. We're discussing the weaponization of motherhood this season and starting with a group of modern day Daughter's of the Confederacy: Mom's for Liberty.

    Discussion of the article "It's not White Fragility, it's White Flammability" by Sun Yung Shin on Medium. Also mentions: "Is 'Imposter Syndrome' Just for White Women". Find out more about Sun Yung Shin on her website. 

    There's a t-shirt I always see advertised to me on Instagram that says "Not fragile like a flower, fragile like a bomb" with a half-face portrait of RBG in the background. We white women love to highlight our power when it makes us look good and strong, but are we as willing to acknowledge our ability, even our inevitability, to do harm with that power?
