In her own life and work, due to the demonisation of activists’ sectors which have weaponised intersectionality theory, Smiley has been constructed as yet another savage, subhuman, and disposable Indigenous woman. In the attempts to assassinate the character of an up-and-coming scholar who has dedicated her life to ending male violence, and whose sole wrongdoing was veering from the patriarchal and colonial scripts assigned to her, the misogynist trope of the aggressive woman of colour becomes reified by those who claim to promote anticolonial and antiracist politics. Who benefits from putting an outspoken Indigenous feminist “back in her place” and reinforcing colonial stereotypes? --Cherry Smiley
