Well, we don't ALL hate Feministe, lol. I've said before, Feministe didn't grow with its audience, and the audience is overwhelmingly middle-class, US-centric, able-bodied, and white, which creates problems when the bloggers want to talk about intersecting issues. The white-centrism isn't particularly new, and WOC bloggers have complained about it for the last few years, only to be told to shut up. There's been a lot of conversation on the pros and cons of sticking to a large platform like Feministe to talk about race issues.
