What White Feminists Should NOT Buy

Frida Kahlo ANYTHINGI canadagoosejacketca love Frida Kahlo, you love Frida Kahlo, we all love Frida Kahlo! She was an amazing, trail blazing woman and a talented artist, and her adoration is well deserved. However, people forget that she was an outspoken communist and therefore extremely anti capitalist, so a white girl printing her face on a t shirt or a button and selling it on Etsy really is super disrespectful to her memory.
