« So it appears that there are a lot of WoC that were pretty put off about your tweet comparing the victim blaming of Trayvon Martin to the victim blaming of rape victims. I must admit that I am pretty nervous to confront a prominent feminist that I look up to greatly, but I will also have to admit that the comparison somewhat disappointed me. I don't disagree with you entirely – there are definitely parallels, but white feminists comparing their struggles to PoCs has always seemed inappropriate.
