Can you elaborate on your campus sexual assault post, i'm confused as to how its an issue of white feminism
Sure! Sexual assault is a really serious issue, but not just among college students; in fact, according to this survey, college-age women who are not in college are more likely to be assaulted than women of the same age who are in college. So I think focusing on campus sexual assault while ignoring sexual assault of nonstudents is pretty classist.
(It’s mainly an issue of classism, not racism, though black high school students are less likely to enroll in college than white students as well as less likely to graduate. I said “white feminism” because people seem to use that as shorthand for “non-intersectional feminism,” which doesn’t roll off the tongue in quite the same way.)
