Re: Are There Any Feminist Sites

It's true that she shouldn't say that because she doesn't know what experiencing racism is like and therefore is undercutting his experience by claiming to understand it. But that shouldn't imply that experiencing sexism is less bad. It's just that the sexism she experiences isn't relevant to what her patient is telling her.

Yup, exactly. And the reverse is also true. If he were the one trying to say he understood her experience as a woman because of racism that would be equally bad. All discriminations are equal but that doesn't mean they are the same, and experiencing one does not mean you understand what it is like to deal with another.

You can understand something without experiencing it, though.

Only to a certain extent. Honestly, if you say "I understand" in a situation like that, it comes off as meaning "I know how you feel," which you don't. You can only understand it as a concept and something that you've witnessed happen to other people, not as an experience you've felt yourself.
