@RyanBuenconsejo [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [47]: Wenn #Wokies erklären, dass der angeblich "weisse" #Feminismus von Alice Schwarzer passé sei, haben wir es mit #woke-linkem #Rassismus zu tun. ⁦@EMMA_Magazin⁩ [URL redacted]
"When Wokies declare that Alice Schwarzer's alleged 'white' feminism is passé, we are dealing with woke-left racism. #CatchcryRacismWoke #IRLJournalistAliceSchwarzer #MagazineDEEMMA #CauseFeminism
Supplementary "Over the course of its existence, feminism has mainly focused on the issues experienced by white, middle-class women. For example, it is largely shared and advertised that a woman makes 78 cents to a man's dollar. But this is only the statistic for white women. As upsetting as it is, women of minority groups make even less. Black women earn 64 cents to white men's dollar and Hispanic women only earn 56 cents. Intersectional feminism takes into account the many different ways each woman experiences discrimination. 'White feminism' is a term that is used to describe a type of feminism that overshadows the struggles women of color, LGBTQ women and women of other minority groups face. So, essentially, it's not true feminism at all." https://denison.edu/academics/womens-gender-studies/feature/67969
"This one-dimensional feminism à la Schwarzer is passé. He makes the western white middle-class woman the new universal subject (which was previously the western white middle-class man), and overlooks that in doing so he himself excludes the majority of all women."
Context #IRLScholarStefanManserEgli "Building on this, his PhD thesis inquires into what has been called 'boundary liberalism', 'repressive liberalism' and 'illiberal' or 'Schmittian liberalism'. These concepts refer to the fact that the extent to which immigrants are believed to have acceptably liberal values has become a site of boundary making in Western Europe with 'integration' increasingly being predicated on the adoption of liberal-democratic norms and practices and assumptions underpinning liberal personhood. This boundary making in the name of liberal ideals often ends up having its own illiberal thrust. From a historical, social science and political philosophy perspective, the aim of this thesis is thus to empirically work out social imaginaries of 'liberalism' and 'society' behind the boundary making in the name of 'integration' and to discuss them in light of the philosophy of political liberalism." http://www.unine.ch/maps-chaire/home/import/stefan-manser-egli.html
Addendum presumably this is more an attack on the hegemony of traditional conceptions of feminism i.e. those centring on the circumstances of 'white, middle-class women' i.e. #CharacterisationWhiteFeminism, and not on more generally on the feminism cause? Regardless, the obvious solution here is to reframe feminism in terms of #TheorySociologyIntersectionalityFeminism (as outlined above).
