Thank you. SHe wouldn't engage the biggest point: minority and women and working class white women make common cause every day, and both have a similiar experience in being dismissed by upper class, elite women. Class has meaning. The refusal to empathize with women who have different experiences by class, race, and ethnicity causes some women to hurt other women. This woman's post was emblemac of that lack of empathy. If I can work with poor and working class white women, and help them, and be their friend, and look' past race to feel for them and work for their class/economic interests as people, why can't I expect that of others?

I said that lack of empathy, condescension, and oppressing other women is just not right. Stabbing other women in the back is not right. Trying to force other groups of women to abide by one group's standards is not right.

I am grateful for the nuanced responses and the defenses. It gives me hope.
