5. Not to mention, things that are negative to many white feminists

Such as changing your name when you marry, is a radical act to many Black women. I have learned a lot about this from Gradient Lair, as we have talked about before. A lot of the things I as a white woman take for granted, or think of as patriarchal, are seen differently by woc, who have been treated differently, and been oppressed through other means. Different methods, same result.
