“White supremacy, whether in the US or Europe, is absolutely patriarchal—those far-right parties offer no gender equality...white women who vote for those parties are examples of women who accept crumbs thrown to them in return for limited power in the form of protection and privilege gained via proximity to powerful white men. They whip up xenophobia among white women voters by pitting immigrants against white families, portraying refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants as a drain on resources that should go instead to those white families. They want white women to have more white babies.”

“Not every woman is my ally or my sister simply by virtue of being a woman. We are sisters and comrades when we share a fight against patriarchy. Patriarchy throws all its efforts at disempowering us. I do not consider as a sister or a comrade anyone who aids in that disempowerment.”
