Tbh something I struggle with a lot is the validity of my own voice and thoughts. I see all these people post so freely and I want to as well, but I can't see the worth in what I have to say and only end up feeling like I'm just taking space in the conversations I wish to join.
I make a post and I delete it shortly after. I swallow whatever I have to say, even if it could be helpful. What does it matter, someone else will say it better. The sea of words is already loud enough. I wonder when I'll finally feel worthy of being heard. I wonder if anyone even wants to hear. I wonder if I will delete this post as well. Probably so.
it doesnt really matter if separatism is "too individualized" its about giving money to women. success to women. supporting women. its womens newspaper and magazines and events that give us room to talk about ourselves amongst ourselves just like other marginalized communities often do. not every feminist needs to uproot society immediately but there is a genuine benefit to thinking about separatism in this fashion because its what increase class consciousness and unity. other marginalized communities that engage in separatist actions for their communities develop stronger class unity and consciousness. dismissing that would be foolish.
