Document Summary

5697338: they key intervention that audre lorde is making into the feminist movement is that differences are going to empower us rather than separate us. Differences should not be simply tolerated but celebrated. Rather then dividing women into different groups to promote feminism, all feminists should work together. Feminists should not allow differences to separate them much like patriarchy promotes. Feminist want to rid society of the patriarchy system all together, switching to matriarchy would be exactly like in today"s society. This would put women in power and inequality would still exist within society today. Feminists want to rid society from both and just have equality. Feminists should join together rather than trying to compete: race to innocence occurs when individuals talk to one another and try to appear as victims and that they have been through more in their lifetime, continually competing.
