However, I certainly wouldn\u2019t identify with the racist, exclusive, feminist groups that held (and still often hold) control of the public discourse over feminism. For now, this leads me to identify myself, not with a specific group, but with a role. For now I would identify as an ally to all my fellow feminists and a student of the various types of feminism. Each type of feminism is a practice of ideals, morals, beliefs etc. I must learn about and form my own practices before I appraise them and relegate myself to one or multiple groups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2095\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bcrw.barnard.edu\/digitalshange\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/static1.squarespace.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2095\" class=\"wp-image-2095 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/bcrw.barnard.edu\/digitalshange\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/static1.squarespace-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bcrw.barnard.edu\/digitalshange\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/static1.squarespace-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bcrw.barnard.edu\/digitalshange\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/static1.squarespace-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bcrw.barnard.edu\/digitalshange\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/static1.squarespace.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2095\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I added this because I think this quote perfectly articulates the type of ideals I want to support, no matter what group I align myself with.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before taking this class, my understanding of feminism was vague and mostly based on a white conception of feminism.
