Discussion Post
We spent two classes reading the manifesto of "Feminism for the 99%" and exploring the different themes, theses and frameworks it brought up.
Referring to the text itself, your notes, and the PowerPoint I uploaded to Blackboard, choose two of the theses and answer the following for each:
• What does the thesis actually mean? (In your own words.)
• Provide an example for how this thesis might emerge in the real world. You may expand upon an example given in the text or create your own. (For example, if I focus on Thesis 5 - Gender oppression in capitalist societies is rooted in the subordination of social reproduction to production for profit - I may bring up examples of watching immigrant women work as nannies for rich, white women in NYC during my own time as a nanny.)
• How can you imagine integrating core concepts or overarching ideas into your own activist or community work? How can the thesis help you relate to larger systems of inequity?
• What is one thing about the text - whether related to the specific theses you identified or not - that you wish you knew more about?
The response should include a reference list. One-inch margins, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
