I agree with Andrea that this was a very interesting article. I found it strange when Beverly Guy - Sheftall stated that at all - black gatherings, people were asking her whether or not she was a lesbian, because being pro - female translated into a hate for men. This is crazy because this could mean that she wanted and stood for equal rights for women. This does not necessarily mean that she hates men! I also learned that black males who are considered feminists are between the ages of 30 and 45. Yes, I agree with BGS that we still live in a white-supremacist, sexist, and homophobic culture. Overall, Beverly Guy - Sheftall is an example of being a phenomenal woman who knows what she is doing and stands up for what she wants regarding Black Feminism. She should be mentioned in all Women Studies classes because I could see her as a role model for African American women.
