Comment on Old fashioned

Sanger’s style of eugenics is compatible with PP’s modern values, convincing the undesirables the best option for them is not to reproduce. Forced eugenics was not Sanger’s style she was a coerced eugenics kind of gal.
Up until 3 or 4 years ago Sanger was still beatified inside PP. Her actions and message was downplayed and justified.

Maybe modern white feminist values are, like more women in the boardrooms. The rest of it is diametrically opposed to racial segregation.

Feminists may be opposed to racial segregation, like most people, but it’s not a value of feminism. Equality of the sexes has nothing to do with race.

It absolutely does. Women of color as significantly worse off in a multitude of ways than white women. There is absolutely an effect of race on the treatment of women. So equality of sex is absolutely related to race.
On top of that, it is strategically better to ally yourself with people who you share common cause, which in this case is equality.
