    Feminists may be opposed to racial segregation, like most people, but it’s not a value of feminism. Equality of the sexes has nothing to do with race.

      Equality of the sexes has nothing to do with race.

      It absolutely does. Women of color as significantly worse off in a multitude of ways than white women. There is absolutely an effect of race on the treatment of women. So equality of sex is absolutely related to race.

      On top of that, it is strategically better to ally yourself with people who you share common cause, which in this case is equality.
