By locating middle-class white women at the center of her vision of what constitutes \u201cwomen,\u201d Hirshman is utterly missing the point of intersectionality. Including (or making central) people who are not white, middle-class women in our vision of what constitutes an end to patriarchy is not the same as excluding white, middle-class women from our vision. It is simply moving them from the place of automatic privilege and centrality our culture has given them in relation to other groups of women, which allows us to understand oppression in a more realistic way. Even if we\u2019re willing to grant Hirshman the point that feminism should only worry about those women who constitute a \u201cmajority\u201d of women, white, middle-class women are NOT THE MAJORITY OF WOMEN.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/categories\/blogbullet.wordpress.com\/696\/\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/tags\/blogbullet.wordpress.com\/696\/\" \/> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/blogbullet.wordpress.com\/696\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/blogbullet.wordpress.com\/696\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godelicious\/blogbullet.wordpress.com\/696\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/delicious\/blogbullet.wordpress.com\/696\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gostumble\/blogbullet.wordpress.com\/696\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/stumble\/blogbullet.wordpress.com\/696\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godigg\/blogbullet.wordpress.com\/696\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/digg\/blogbullet.wordpress.com\/696\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/goreddit\/blogbullet.wordpress.com\/696\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/reddit\/blogbullet.wordpress.com\/696\/\" \/><\/a> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=blogbullet.wordpress.com&amp;blog=743885&amp;post=696&amp;subd=blogbullet&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ashley blogs on Linda Hirshman&#8217;s article in the Washington Post:<br \/>\nPart of what we do, when we struggle to take an intersectional approach, is try to challenge the automatic \u201cnormalcy\u201d that our culture has given those in dominant groups.
