"We have received messages and seen comments on this page about how some of the articles we have posted up have been generalizing about "white feminists."
It really doesn't take much to understand that when the topic of "white feminists" is discussed, that of course not all white feminists are to blame. Emphasis doesn't have to be placed on each sentence, stating that we don't intend to refer to every single white feminist as being wrong and in privilege-denial.
Why? Because it should be fairly obvious that the writer is NOT referring to every single white feminist as being a Femen-style racist. But living in a white supremacist world, critiques of racism and privileged behaviour not just from Femen but from any well-meaning person who gets it horrily wrong is something that we need. That doesn't make us divisive- those very people refusing to check themselves, and listen to what Muslim women have to say are the ones that are being divisive in the first place for provoking such criticism."-Muslim Women Against Femen
