Give me strength. Thanks to Gerry for pointing us to the piece, it starts:
“A Church of England Archdeacon has called for ‘anti-whiteness’ and the ‘smashing of the patriarchy,’ but insisted that her statement did not mean that she is anti-white’ or ‘anti-men’.
The Ven Miranda Threlfall-Holmes, Archdeacon of Liverpool, said that after attending a conference on ‘whiteness’, she was prompted to reflect on race and gender.
The Archdeacon, who also runs a personal blog on topics of Christianity, history, feminism and poetry, concluded that ‘whiteness is to race as patriarchy is to gender.’
The statement was met with backlash from critics who branded the comment as ‘divisive’ and ‘alienating’.
Threlfall-Holmes insisted that her statement was ‘not anti-white, or anti-men’ but ‘anti-oppression’.”
