Tues Draft Copy
1. Due to "strong socialist ideals" "and a healthy distrust of what we call Gringo Politics, [Ecuador] don’t have a big privileged class of white feminists," (Amor, What Ecuador's Feminst...). How did Ecuador overthrow colonialist ideals of classism and racism when many those ideas remain entrenched in many of their neighbors?
2. Concerning keeping the title of feminist, which is inherently European, "we wonder if it would have been better if we had chosen another name for our struggle and in turn not play into eurocentrism" (Paredes, 123). What are the benefits and downsides of changing their title to better reflect the uniquely Chicana movement?
3. "The proletarians of the large companies in developed countries do not live and work in the same conditions as the proletarians in so-called third world countries," (Paredes, Dissidence and Communitarian Feminism). As the patriarchy allows for constant revolutions that center on and improve the lives of men, how does history ignore the plight of women? Why are feminist revolutions seen rather as gifts of rights from the generosity of men?
