11. "Every feminist believes that all "white" "cis" men(or even women, too) are literally granted collective tangible "privileges", and that all "white" people are at fault for racism, all men are at fault for sexism/misogyny, etc.." - When in reality, people like Mikki Kendall, Flavia Dzodan, and Suey Park(or the proprietor of Gradient Lair, who is particularly unlikeable) are very much in the minority in the movement. So as with all the others, this stereotype of recent vintage isn't just damaging, but it's also demeaning as well, particularly to those feminists of both genders and all ethnicities & cultures, etc., who've worked so hard over the years to advance the rights of not just women, but people as a whole(and no doubt that conservative reactionaries the world over are actively trying to turn this against us).
