While there are definitely a lot of important points being made by this article, regarding the multiplicity of meanings and experiences of being a black woman, the need to oppose misogyny and homophobia in religious organizations, and the call to voice opposition to corporate co-optation of black women’s images and sexual identities, I have some discomfort with this post (and this blogger). Particularly, her veneration of and adherence to the institution of marriage, and her aggressive attitude toward women who “have children out of wedlock” is irksome to say the least from the perspective of an anarchist feminist who doesn’t put any stock in the legacy of heteronormative institutional monogamy to begin with, and furthermore is put off by the idea telling anyone how and by what rights they have children. i also find (in other posts on this writer’s blog) a disturbing opposition and disrespect for abortion as a reproductive right and valid autonomous choice.
