I am so sick of this. Why should feminist fight for everyone's fair share? And if they don't they are some sort of horrid group of people. That is exactly what you are implying. FFS. There is a reason the FEM. There are all different groups who have the same and different focus. Should white women complain to the NAACP that they aren't also fighting for their rights? Why is it expected that only FEMINISTS should fight for everyone's equal rights?

FYI Feminists come in all different colors, sexual identity, sexes, heights, weights, eye color, and income backgrounds. I am really sick and tired of people's claims that if feminists do not fight every inequality ever on Earth, they can't support their cause/don't really care/have everything wrong. Many of these causes intersect and one group will see the benefits when another succeeds. There is a certain group of people who would rather flame bait and create discord between these groups. Therefor ensuring that nothing is accomplished and their privilege stays intact.
