Feminism has been known to be exclusive, and even on my campus the effects of this can be seen. <BR/>As a movement, we need to hold ourselves more responsible.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139058825727884888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-17095634666852203922009-03-01T08:25:00.000-06:002009-03-01T08:25:00.000-06:00Well said, and an interesting analysis that I don'...Well said, and an interesting analysis that I don't see often.<BR/><BR/>I mean, I see the phenomenon of American progressive people pushing away the feminist label because of the Rush-Limbaugh-created stigma surrounding feminism, but that is an aspect I don't often see in analysis of anti-oppression movements and intersectionality.<BR/><BR/>That being said, i also know a great deal of activists who eschew the feminist movement not because of myths and misinformation about the movement or the philosophy, but because they belong to a group that has been marginalized within the movement. For example, women of color, sex workers, trans*people and LGBTQ people. If we are going to call for an intersected movement, the concerns of these populations and their activists must be listened to and acknowledged.<BR/><BR/>Good post, got me thinking.Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676888930241945753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-57624472346566419652009-02-28T22:04:00.000-06:002009-02-28T22:04:00.000-06:00Just a quick, technical comment: You said "his wor...Just a quick, technical comment: You said "his work within the anti-war movement". I think you could clarify this - which anti-war movement? And because Ayers was best known for his involvement in a specific org, you might want to make an edit about that.<BR/><BR/>I'm so upset I didn't get to here him speak today!Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884754298018500343noreply@blogger.com
