Audre Lorde - An Open Letter to Mary Daly

Its easy to use the words of women who are not here to defend themselves to push our own agendas, its far harder to look beyond what our agendas are and try to pay homage to the women before us. Mary Daly and Audre Lorde both.

Excellent.

you are an extremely knowledgeable person.

Yet again one of your videos inspires me.

thank you for reading this letter, in my opinion you've done justice to Audre Lorde.

common bitches don't know shit about audre lorde!

[BlacknWhitesAlright]

Yes, Audre Lorde had her many failings (er, "consistencies"), like being against the freedom to do sex work and engage in consensual kinky sex - but at least she didn't carry a genocidal agenda against transgender people like Mary Daly (and her student Janice Raymond) did.

Listen, if this is your idea of feminism, I just have to wonder why your "feminism" is so stultifying and so damned misogynistic.

“When I dare to be powerful - to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid” - Audre Lorde

@onlockinggeisha I don't understand which comment you're talking about. Be a bit more specific.

[onlockinggeisha]

@SaelPalani What are you referring to exactly?
