Exactly. I do understand that a lot of women of color have felt left out by mainstream feminism (and in many cases over it's history, HAVE been left out by it), but at the same time, you can't discount it altogether. For example, Honeykiss, the Voter Rights Act wouldn't have affected you at all had feminists not previously fought for and won the right for women to vote. It's all interconnected.
