Happy midsummer everyone!
Here’s a little reading for the weekend (sorry not a lot of links today).
Well this does not require a lot of reading, but probably some tissue. Congrats California. May more follow.
(More heartwarming pictures here.)
Amber Rhea writes about feminist choices.
And even as feminists call out countless examples of male privilege, many of them continue to place a lot of importance on what men think and how men interpret things – even if their interpretations are dead wrong. Somehow those interpretations are granted more importance than what the actor (the woman) states as her intent.
Nothing new there.
And I get it, we don’t live in a perfect world. We live in a world which is, unfortunately, still very much controlled by sexism. So I can understand being concerned about how things may appear to and be interpreted by men. They are the ones making the rules more often then not, and therefore their interpretations are going to be given more credence by society at large. But do we, as feminists, have to replicate this structure?
