The Pitfalls of Becoming a Complacent Ally (And What to Do If You’ve Made a Mistake) We’ve all had that moment: Just when we think we’ve become good allies, somebody tells us that we’ve done or said something problematic.
Our first reaction might be to deny it. After all, we’ve read the articles. We’ve gone to the conferences. We know all about privilege and oppression, and we’re committed to fighting the latter. How could we do anything wrong? However, being an ally doesn’t mean that you can do no wrong.

The ambiguity within the theory allows for its continuous expansion of its basic tenets. At its core, womanism is a social change perspective based upon the everyday problems and experiences of black women and other women of minority demographics, but more broadly seeks methods to eradicate inequalities not just for black women, but for all people.[1] The self-authored spirit of activism, spirituality, and the women's relationship with herself, other women, and her surroundings comprise an essential part of the ideology.
The term womanism was first coined by author Alice Walker in her 1979 short story, "Coming Apart". The Dark Psychology of the Sexist Internet Commenter. A new study has found that men and women comment on news stories very differently—and that men don't feel shy about expressing misogyny.
