Isabelle Fox’s Reviews > Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center > Status Update

university makes it hard to engage critically with this text. but this was a great chapter. hooks talks about sexual liberation,

she questions how sexual liberation can be liberating for women when it doesn’t actively deconstruct power relations between men and women in the sexual sphere and simply reproduces sexist dynamics

‘critical thinking is the antithesis of womens traditional role…. such thinking involves an active, not a passive, relationship to the world’

talking about the importance of education as a key point in the feminist agenda

‘Reactionary male separatism is rooted in the conviction that male supremacy is rooted in our culture, that women have only two alternatives: accepting it or withdrawing from it create subcultures’

this book is really calling 2019 me out
