Why is feminism? - answer✔Western civilization has been and is dominated by males.
Every single major institution is under male control.
Males control the resources: money, food, shelter, medicine, etc.

Global Gag Rule - answer✔The rule, otherwise known as the Mexico City policy, requires NGOs
to certify that they will not perform or promote abortions anywhere in the world as a condition
for receiving US family planning funds. Every Republican president since 1985 has implemented
it. But Donald Trump has adopted a stringent version of the rule, under which NGOs that refuse
to sign will be refused all health assistance, including for HIV, primary care, nutrition,
tuberculosis and malaria programs. As much as $8bn in US funding could be affected - money
that developing world health budgets can ill afford to do without.

Metanarrative - answer✔the "big story" that explains reality through appeal to a master idea.
People are expected to perform their lives in accordance with the abstract principles dictated
by these metanarratives. These vary widely culture to culture but they always dictate sex roles,
kinship relations.

What is theory? - answer✔a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something,
especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained. a set of
accepted beliefs or organized principles that explain and guide analysis. traditionally viewed as
separate from practice

What is feminist theory? - answer✔"It is an effort to bring insights from the movement and
from various female experiences together with research and data gathering to produce new
approaches to understanding and ending female oppression." --Charlotte Bunch


Viewed as intrinsically related to practice: the personal is political. You cannot separate the
two.

Audre Lorde - answer✔The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House- "It is a
particular academic arrogance to assume any discussion of feminist theory without examining
our many differences, and without a significant input from poor women, Black and Third World
women, and lesbians."

Bell Hooks - answer✔Born out of pain: "I came to theory because I was hurting."

What are the limitations of feminist theory? - answer✔- Too elitist: filled with elevated jargon
- A means for power in academia/drained of anti-hierarchical goals
- Can lack analysis of race, class, etc.
- Assumes there is such a thing as woman!

Simone de Beauvoir - answer✔French author of The Second Sex.
- "Are there women, really?"
- "one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman"


Beauvoir concludes that there are females, obviously, but the social category of "woman" is
produced.
"woman" emerges from a binary with "man", always in relation to "man"
"man" both a positive and neutral category, "woman" negative, defined by limiting criteria
"she" is defined as the Other

females are not grouped together

ourselves.....)


"to decline to be the Other, to refuse to be a party to the deal—this would be for women to
renounce all the advantages conferred on them by their alliance with the superior caste" -
Beauvoir

Passivity - answer✔marketed to females as the great adventure
female -> woman -> feminine -> passivity = being a "real woman"

Sacred myths - answer✔Genesis verse making her creation secondary to his privileged over
other version with simultaneous creation

ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from
man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my
bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

Secular myths - answer✔The German sex doll becomes a little girl's secular map to adult
