This was in response to a a post over at womanist musings
I don't know what a "proper feminist" or "proper feminist issue" is. Nor do I really care... I am more than just a feminist, or an anti-racist, or any of the other hats I wear. It took me forever to find this quote but it really sums up why I find this division of issues into little sub-categories hurtful and absolutely wrong. Please excuse the use of Man to mean human. Bakunin does have his issues (among them the fact that he expressed several antisemitic views) and this was written in 1871.
