I've been writing about women I call the Sorority Of Pinky Swears (SOPS) and looking at their hollow feminism tailored to fit just their needs, which I call Bespoke Feminism. @AngryBlackLady coined A Well Actually of Chads (AWAOC) for male counterparts feministgiant.com/p/the-bespoke-…
Feminism: fights to destroy patriarchy--that many-tentacled octopus of oppressions such as misogyny, racism, homophobia, classism, ableism, transphobia, ageism, etc
Bespoke Feminism: fights whatever hurts its individual wearer and fuck the rest of us.

SOPS (Sorority of Pinky Swears) conveniently aligns with SOP - Standard Operating Procedure.
Bespoke Feminism is a form of white feminism and is the antithesis of intersectionality, as coined by Prof. Kimberle Crenshaw.

I did not coin Bespoke Feminism to replace white feminism.
I came up with it because I wanted to add to the terms we have to describe feminism that does not attack the oppressions that work in tandem to undergird patriarchy; and to use it globally feministgiant.com/p/the-bespoke-…

Examples in the US: racism and classism of Senator Kyrsten Sinemal and the two other white female Democratic senators who voted against the minimum wage increase. Sinema's office said it was sexist to question her callous thumbs down gesture that accompanied her vote
Racism and transphobia of Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert who claimed their opposition to the Equality Act was a defense of women and girls. Their Bespoke Feminism is tailored/custom made to fit their transphobia.
It was a reminder that:
Feminism is not: supporting a woman simply because she is a woman. Is she upholding or fighting to destroy patriarchy?
Sexism is not: any and all criticism of a woman.
