Interesting introspective essay on patriarchal abuse, hetro relationships and wonga/class.
Could have branched out into how women's culture sometimes perpetuates the 'at least get a rich man because they are all trash' etc.
"At its core, feminism is the dismantlement of patriarchy and for me it serves as a template for the dismantlement of all oppressive systems. Therefore, it is not only hypocritical but also counterproductive for me, a black feminist, to advocate for the dismantlement of one oppressive system while embracing another. It sounds good to only date men with money but it also sounds silly thinking that it will somehow make their patriarchal violence tolerable. It won’t.
Monied men depend on us ignoring their abuse simply because they have money. When we do it we are not going against the grain of patriarchy, we are aligning ourselves with patriarchal principles in the name of feminism."

Good introspection to have before you enter into relationships. I thinks if your trapped in a relationship with a monied man it may be harder to make a stand as he may have even more resources. However I like the author's optimistic tone and how she talks from a place of strength.
