I may have reached Peak Schadenboner.

A March for Black Women being held on Yom Kippur has sparked a bitter feud amongst members of one of the largest feminist organizations in the US in the latest round of racially charged infighting among progressives.

Oh really? That's terrible! I mean, it is really awful when feminists fight each other. Please disregard the smile on my face. It really is a smile of sadness, to keep myself from crying because the intersectional sisterhood is eating itself.

Members of the National Organization for Women (NOW) have recently engaged in a heated debate through emails and on social media posts about the organization's support for a march that is being held on the holiest day for the Jewish community.

The conflict and chaos within the ranks of the leading feminist group have led members to accuse one another of racism, white supremacy, and anti-Semitism.

The March for Black Women has been organized for Sept. 30 in Washington, DC, by the Black Women’s Blueprint group, with NOW listed as one of several partners supporting the event. NOW has also formally endorsed the march, with President Toni Van Pelt saying, "as feminists we support the march because white supremacy pushes us all downward."

Van Pelt did not immediately respond to a request for comment. However, in a private email seen by BuzzFeed News, NOW board member Jocelyn Morris praised staff for their handling of the complaints. "The members we lose over this we will replace with the ones we recruit at the March," she wrote.

Van Pelt also responded to the email chain, telling NOW members, "Carry on."

In a statement to BuzzFeed News, Morris said, "NOW had nothing to do with the date choice. Jews are only 10% of the USA population. The planners have apologized for overlooking the Jewish holiday, but will March for Black Women."

And black people are only 12% of the population.

Marilyn Fitterman, a longstanding NOW member, quit the organization on Wednesday because of its endorsement of the March for Black Women being held on Yom Kippur. (Yom Kippur, which means the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day for the Jewish community, during which Jewish people fast and refrain from working).

In a Facebook post, Fitterman said, "NOW has ringingly endorsed the black womens March being held on Yom Kippur. I will no longer belong to NOW after having spent more than 40 years as an activist for NOW. DISTRESSED. NEVER AGAIN"

Tsk, tsk. Shame on you for not showing SOLIDARITY with your fellow oppressed WYMYN. Putting the tribe ahead of the sisterhood? You're really being part of the problem instead of part of the solution.

Her Facebook post generated a heated debate in the comments, with some NOW members accusing Fitterman of "racism and white supremacy."

"I'm really offended by the RACISM and WHITE Supremacy embedded in Ms Fettermans SMOKE SCREEN of a REASON for quitting NOW!," Desiree Jordan, a NOW member, wrote in the comments.

YOU'RE AN ANTI-SEMITE!

YOU'RE A WHITE SUPREMACIST!

YOU'RE A TOWEL!

I love it. Give me more! More, I say!

"I could 'flip the script' and INDICT the JEWISH FAITH as being RACIST and EXCLUSIONARY simply based on the fact that one has to BE JEWISH to celebrate YOM KIPPUR," Jordan continued. "As a WoC [woman of color] I am NOT invited to celebrate YOM KIPPUR. Sad thing is I must accept the FACT that NOW is PACKED with (both overt and covert Racists) 'Ms Fetterman's.' [sic.]"

"Whateva! I can do what I want!"

If you don't let me celebrate Yom Kippur (not that she would) then you're a RACIST! And EXCLUSIONARY! And you are part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take her away!

This is why intersectionality is doomed to failure and why MGTOW should never frame themselves as victims: The intersectional feminists prize victimhood as righteousness, so they compete to see who can be the biggest victim of them all to get the most attention, the most money, and the most sympathy.

Let me guess now black women need black men and jewish women also need jewish men. LOL

And so once again they prove that their primary goal is establishing a monopoly on victimhood and the attention it provides.

I remember watching a video from christina hoff sommers as she went to a femminst conference and she said she was amazed about the infighting that was happening (gay women arguing with fat women and arguing with women with mental issues etc) and she said her sister was there with her who is a physiologist and even she was saying it was like being in a room with multiple personality disorders

Black women love to play the "i struggled more" game.
