Grace Biltz | Intersectional Feminism

Today, the Women's March is taking place in Washington D.C. to support women's rights. However. feminism should be taken into consideration that not all women are alike. The struggles that white, middle class women are very different than a black women in poverty. A Muslim woman also faces different challenges than a lesbian Latino woman would face today in America. 

This awareness and support of these various "feminists" is called intersectional feminism. Recognizing women's differences and the disadvantages they may face is critical to helping all women achieve equality. 

I support women's rights and believe that we should stay strong no matter what people may say about us. Women shouldn't have to be discriminated against because of their race or gender. Everybody should be treated equally.
