How Should a Feminist Vote in this Election?
(Including bitter Hillary supporters)
Everyone has their own definition of feminism. Personally, I believe feminism is equality for women. I believe that women should have the same rights as men and that they shouldn't be discriminated against for being female.
In Conversation with Richard Hornsey's "After the Bathhouse; or, In Praise of Awkwardness"
Submitted by Jessy on Sat, 05/31/2008 - 6:03am.When I was shelving some journals today (yesterday, now), I stumbled across a special issue of English Language Notes (v. 45 no. 2, Fall/Winter 2007) entitled Queer Space (and there's a special issue of Social Text that I want to look at, too, called What's Queer About Queer Studies Now?).
Richard Hornsey's piece "After the Bathhouse; or, In Praise of
Awkwardness" raises some interesting questions for me. As I start
writing, I've read about 7 of 12 pages. I will put summarizations of
Hornsey's points in regular text and my own comments and reactions in
italics.
The Geography of Thought- Book Commentary
Submitted by Rica Dela Cruz on Mon, 05/12/2008 - 4:29pm.Whenever someone tries to compare or analyze the underlyingbases for the culture and customs of different races or groups of people, theperson making the comparison or analysis almost always runs the risk of beingcriticized for what appears to be “generalizations” as to why certain groupsbehave, act and think the way they do. It is, therefore, very important for aresearcher doing a study on human behavior, such as a people’s way of thinking,to define at the outset the scope of the study being made and the methodologyto be used.
Why, I Say, White People Can't Dance (And, Yes, It has to Do with Race/Culture/Rhythm, Appreciation, & Respect)
Submitted by Shayna or Shene... on Mon, 05/21/2007 - 11:55am.Introduction
For me, saying white people can't dance has nothing to do with the typical answer that they don't have rhythm. I think the reason for it includes some parts of that, but also something more systemic or structural - race relations and learning cultural contexts.
