Tuesday Draft Questions
1. In reflecting on American feminism, one might suggest that European Feminism is still in some senses wedded to patriarchal gender constructions of women as the "softer" species, this is contrasted strongly in Amor's writing on Ecuadorian feminism. One specific example of this contrast is in the terminology of "Puta" as embraced in Ecuadorian feminism. How might these contrast in white feminism and the stronger sounding Ecuadorian feminism be accounted for?
2. When Julieta Paredes addresses the necessity of decolonizing feminism she places emphasis on the necessity of creating a new name, in what can be considered a move toward self-determination. Why is this so significant to decolonization?
3. When Paredes says "Patriarchy recycles itself and feeds on the social and revolutionary changes of this same humanity. It hones its tentacles, corrects its brutal forms of operating, and re-launches its forms of oppression as new instruments-- ever more subtle, difficult to detect and respond to." What is meant? While I understand the pervasive nature of patriarchy I am really curious to know how this continues to happen despite so many people fighting against it.
