The Feminist voice in the Eurasian movement

Over the last couple of years there has been a rise of a Eurasian movement. I think this is a positive development. Despite the paranoia among MRAs about white feminists attacking the WMAF relationship as exploitative and misogynist, the fact is SJWs have tiptoed remarkably gingerly around the elephant in the room of WMAF Patriarchy. They still see race relations along the lines of Black-White. And don’t want to be accused of being Rednecks raging about white women dating black men. Even though the structural power relations are entirely different in the case of WMAF.

This is why as a Hapa Feminist, I considered it a progressive occurrence that the children of WMAF were rising up against their own parents, and speaking truth to power. They were abandoning any Confucian notions of filial piety and having a revolution against their own parents.

What concerns me as a woman and a feminist however, is that the voice of the Eurasian Female has largely been left out. There is a widespread consensus among both pro and anti WMAF forces, that Eurasian daughters turn out just fine. Sure Eurasian sons might suffer oppression and humiliation. But Eurasian daughters can always be a sextoy and porn star, so what do they have to worry about? Now I admit there are certain Hapa girls, who are unable to escape the matrix of ideology and do submit to this role. But it is wrong to typecast all Hapa girls with this. And it is not exactly a privilege to be used as a sexual object by men. Eurasian women are just as dehumanized by white society as hapa men are.

I don’t deny that WMAF is an attack on Asian and Eurasian men. An attempt to emasculate and castrate them. BUT, if you actually read a WMAF blog, you will see the vast majority of the vile hate is directed against “white”, "western", “american” women. It is funny, since these MRAs are White Nationalists and American Patriots. But when it comes to women, suddenly these terms become epithets. WMAF is the product of the Boycott American Women movement. IMHO it is more about hating white and eurasian women, than asian and eurasian men.

I don’t want to turn this into an oppression olympics. I appreciate the lived-experiences of my Hapa brothers. But they need to recognize that WMAF is primarily an anti-woman crusade. And so if you are a Eurasian women, who identifies as an American woman, like me, you will feel very oppressed, humiliated, sexually degraded, by your own WMAF parents. I have never felt comfortable around my white dad, do to the sexualized nature of relations between young asian girls and older white men. Even before I became a Feminist, and had ideological reasons to justify it, I just knew there was something creepy and wrong about being seen with my white dad.

I hope this blog will be able to challenge sexist misconceptions both within the WMAF and Eurasian movements, that everything is A-OK for Eurasian women. We are in our own ways oppressed by the WMAF Patriarchy and our voice needs to be heard.
