White feminists rarely, if ever, look at ourselves; instead, we spend a lot of our time in outrage about the misdeeds of other people.

Introduction
When the #MeToo movement began in 2017, it represented a watershed moment for feminism.
Women worldwide felt empowered to speak out about the harassment and assaults they had experienced, and organizations began to take a hard line on accusations against their staff.
For British sociologist and feminist Alison Phipps, however, #MeToo is emblematic of feminism's blindspots.
From its domination by bourgeois white women to the expansion of the prison system, #MeToo has had some potentially dangerous consequences, as well as its positive ones.
In Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism, Phipps analyses white feminism and calls for change.
