I despise those who use spirituality to enrich themselves but in my experience, women who follow 'woo woo" practices are much more likely to support progressive causes and attend protests. In Australia educated/wealthy white women just played a pivotal role in getting rid of our conservative government. One of the main reasons was inaction over climate change. It doesn't automatically follow that those are into alternative spirituality will choose to bury their heads in the sand. We live in an age where many feel completely disempowered by the two party system which represents the interests of the uber rich only. Many have fallen into despair and turned inwards because the problems facing the world seem too overwhelming. To single out white women who follow alternative spirituality seems unfair to me, particularly when this group are more likely to be progressive. The real problem lies with those men and women who actively work to deny reproductive rights, who do all they can to prevent meaningful action against climate change, who torpedo attempts to lift the minimum wage and who profiteer from gun violence and war. How about we save our anger and contempt for them instead of bashing the currently socially acceptable scapegoat for the worlds ills which is 'white women.' All this does is deepen divisions between those who need to unite if we are to see any meaningful change.
