I really liked this week’s readings, as I feel like they really taught me a lot more than what I knew before about identity politics. I wasn’t aware that it was made by Black feminists, I’m really happy to have learned that, but it sucks that it feels like another thing that Black feminists have done that I personally feel goes under the radar, but I’m honestly not sure if how I feel is what’s really known. I love the context and intentions of them creating identity politics, and it’s something that I will hold onto going forward.

I hope to learn more about gender and identity politics going forward, including the deep dives into feminism. I really love learning about it and I feel like it is really important to understand, especially right now when so many people refuse to get behind a lot of these things, regardless of them being genuinely good for everyone.
