“White women have a right to be angry about sexual violence. Survivors have a right to spaces without abusers. All survivors fantasise about revenge. But whose bodies are forfeit when white women mobilise punitive state and institutional power to achieve it? Who are the real casualties of the white feminist war machine?”
― Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism
― Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism
“Trans-exclusionary and anti-sex-work feminism amplify the mainstream movement’s desire for power and authority, and pursue it by policing the borders of feminism and womanhood. The mainstream preoccupation with threat becomes an overt ‘us and themâ€� mentality, and the necropolitical desire for annihilation is deliberately turned on more marginalised people.”
― Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism
― Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism
“There is narcissism in [the] white feminist refusal of intersectionality, this privileging of gender over race, class and other categories of oppression.”
― Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism
― Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism
“Violence against women is a pivot for the intersecting systems of heteropatriarchy, racial capitalism and colonialism. It results from the tussle for material and emotional resources, between commodity production and the reproduction of human life.”
― Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism
― Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism
“Right-wing attacks on feminism and Gender Studies are a defence of the heterosexual nuclear family. This is also a defence of capital and nation: protecting ‘ourâ€� economy and ‘ourâ€� way of life. It is impossible to disentangle the war against ‘gender ideologyâ€� from the widespread racism and anti-immigrant sentiment directed at other Others also seen as threats.”

― Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism
“Sometimes, sexual violence is a ‘cultural problemâ€� (but only when this culture is non white). Sometimes, it is a product of male anatomy (but only when this anatomy is assigned to a trans woman or a man of colour). Sexual violence is never the violence of heteropatriarchy or globalising racial capital. Instead, representatives of patriarchy, capitalism and colonialism weaponise the idea of ‘women’s safetyâ€� against marginalised and hyper-exploited groups.”
― Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism
― Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism
“How might mainstream feminist activism help or hinder other social justice projects, for instance around class inequality, race discrimination, migrantsâ€� rights and transgender inclusion? When violent men and governments profess their concern for ‘women’s safetyâ€�, how should feminists respond?”
― Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism
― Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism
“The submissive femininity of radical feminism was bourgeois, white and heterosexual. There was no acknowledgement that this ‘enslavedâ€� femininity was not universal, or that it was complicit in the actual enslavement of generations of Black people.”
