Our definition of feminism must change, demands author and journalist Sibel Schick. We need justice instead of exclusion.
Calling yourself a feminist is in vogue, but that doesn't mean mainstream feminism is worthy of the name. Only a few benefit from it in Germany – privileged, heterosexual and cisgendered members of the white middle class – while the exploitation of everyone else is swept under the rug.
If we want to live in a free society that demands real equality for all people, then there is much that needs to change: in our social coexistence, in politics, online, at work, and in our understanding of democracy in general. Step by step, Sibel Schick analyzes white feminism’s mechanisms for exclusion based on current social debates, and in doing so breaks with traditions and expectations. A highly relevant plea for a fairer world.
