Feminist classrooms allowed patriarchy critique but resisted confronting class

Evidence

While it was acceptable to critique patriarchy in that context, it was not acceptable to confront issues of class, especially in ways that were not simply about the evocation of guilt. In general, despite their participation in different disciplines and the diversity of class backgrounds, African American scholars and other nonwhite professors have been no more willing to confront issues of class. — bell hooks, Teaching to Transgress, 366
