Some quotes from there

"second-wave feminism instantiated 'woman' as an identity based on injury"

"solidifying the 'truth' of women's experiences through 'speaking out' was not necessarily liberation" (State of Inujury by Wendy Brown, page 42)

"white women 'turn their sanctioned victim status' on women of colour"

"attempt to separate the personal and political is central to white women's tears as a strategic device"

"white women know how to be victims. They know how to bleed and weep in the public square, they fundamentally understand that they are entitled to sympathy" (Jamilah Lemieux)

"bourgeois white women's tears are the ultimate symbol of femininity, evoking the damsel in distress and the mourning, lamenting women of myth"

"colonialism relied on a circuit between bourgeois white women's tears and white men's punitive power"

"in earlier phases of capitalism, rape laws functioned to protect upper-class men, whose wives or daughters (their property) might be violated"

"some reactionary strands of white feminism have capitalized upon narratives around victimhood and 'women's protection' and in doing so, have become entangled with the contemporary far right"

"trans-exclusionary feminism is a settler-colonial mentality in its attempt to solidify the sex/gender/sexuality system which intertwines with race and class in the division of labour through differences"
