You're the severaleth person I trust to say I read her post too critically, and honestly in this case I wouldn't mind being wrong -- it hurt to think that someone as wise and influential as Ms. Vernon was saying we shouldn't care about something I find very important.
ETA: though, I was thinking about this, and... part of my context for reading her post is how dismissive many proponents of women's and LGBT rights are of racism -- those of us caught at the intersections can find us in the uncomfortable situation of being told that one oppression we suffer is worse than another. I have been thinking about, if I were a feminist who saw nothing wrong with racism, if I would feel vindicated by her post.
