What I mean by this is the very point of connecting with other people who think like me instead of others who look down on me, never have I felt like feminism &#8211; especially in the era we live in &#8211; will make me feel whole. Speaking about it, being around it and even acting upon it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A feminist society is a safe place. A place where women can connect with other women, especially women of colour \u2013 about what it is to be a black womanism and how this dialect has marginalised us within society and why. Deborah Mensah is the president of the society. She states proudly \u201cI am an intersectional feminist because I solemnly believe that as a woman of colour, black women especially have been marginalised within society in many ways.\u201d Mainstream feminists create a toxic concept of gender which is portrayed in a bad light which neglects the LGBTQ &amp; women of colour, the point is not hating and bashing men \u2013 the point is gaining our womanhood back and creating a space for women to be able to speak freely without discriminatory, sexist and stereotypical views.
