More Than Words by Kirsten Anderson
1.0
I’m giving this book one star not because of the topic but because of the audacity. More Than Words: Turn #MeToo into #ISaidSomething is another attempt to undermine Black women’s work in activist spaces and their accomplishments. Anderson's story could inspire aspiring women who want to work in sectors that are male-dominating except she spends too much time trying to "up one over" the #MeToo movement created by a Black woman.
Quoted from her interview, "We cannot simply move on from this. We must move forward with the knowledge we’ve gained and support each other. We must educate those who have not experienced it and those who are abusing their positions of power. We can turn #metoo into #Isaidsomething. Start a conversation today."
So she's actively trying to give the #MeToo movement a republican white woman rebrand. That's foul but underwhelming not surprising. I can imagine her book tour will equally be trash as she will use #MeToo as something that needs to be critiqued and will whitewash it with her hashtag as a less-offensive and right-wing alternative. The audacity of white women and their never ending need to step and disrespect Black women as they sprout pink pu$$y hat white feminism is the most heinous, diabolical thing I've had to witness.
Again, this book could have stood on its own without the comparison or the need to bring #MeToo into it, let alone putting it in your title to intentionally start controversy by pandering to right-wing readers.
