Critiquing theToxic Values of Coloniality
Gender
A. Quijano: sexual dimorphism was created with the purpose of serving a capitalist, eurocentric agenda
Oyewumi: citing the existance of cultures without a gender binary that were forced into assimilation through colonialism
Lugones: Dark and Light side of the patriarchal system
Anticolonial Feminism
How do we dismantle these constructs?
The Intersectional Experience
Oyewumi: "twofold process of racial inferiorization and gender subordination"
Crenshaw: Black women are multiply burdened
A unique set of experiences that is different than either or both of the sum of its parts
tokenism
Lorde: "difference...a fund of necessary polarities"
Lorde: "some problems we share as women,and some we do not"
How can those of us who are not experiencing this life support those who are?
Capitalism
Marxism as a reaction to capitalism
The feminist agenda often silenced or unsupported by other party members
Marxist feminists: domestic labor and capital
Oppression and exploitation
women serving the reproduction of labor power
in a patriarchal capitalism, women's sexuality is subverted to achieve success in her career
The "Mythical Norm"
coined by Lorde
Rejection of that which diverges from the idealized construction of a young white affluent male
"dress to impress"- implies dress to conform to this concept insofar as is possible for you
