Shannon more than lets you know what feminism is not.
So let me tell you what I think Feminism is
Feminism stares down the barrell of tank with only the thought of her two year old twins behind her and believes that for the ten seconds before they crush her bones to make their "country" that she will stop the tank.
Feminism raises sons who believe NO means NO means HANDS THE FUCK OFF.
Feminism voted for George W. Bush and still volunteers to walk Muslim to the market to keep them safe.
Feminism prays,chants,dances skyclad,and burns bibles.
Feminism is much to tall for pats on the head.
Feminism is choices but please as Belle has said and Tekanji has said say it with me now anad wrap it in your brain really well cause this is one time I'm being very careful before I start cussing.
THERE IS NO MOTHERFUCKING THANG CALLED CHOICE FEMINISM AND ANYONE WHO BANDIES THAT ABOUT CAN REALLY SUCK MY TAMPON ( trademark Belle)
THERE IS ALSO NO SUCH THING AS FUN FEMINISM OR LIGHT WEIGHT FEMINISM OR
Belles post is pretty much spot on but I have some problems with it and while they're not problem's with BElle it strikes me as something that has continually bothered me ever since I began swearing of the MSF blogs.
The problem with a lot of these "discussions" which actually tend to be meaningful convos outside the provence of daisy chain harangues is the complete absconce of power by EVERY.SINGLE.MOTHER. INVOLVED.
Regardless of what their talking about and what side their on, people seem very quick to assign power to everyone involved BUT THEMSELVES.
For a movement based on giving women power , there seems a universal chorus to decalre
" I like it I just like it" ergo I have no power over it even if I know I'm conforming to something please don't pick on me . Please unload the power of my choice so I don't actualy have to think about and no posts about an unspecified " our culture " arent examining that and i will hit my riff on that one in a jiff.
OR
SEXPBOT FLOOZY TRAITOR TO THE WORLD . YOU HAVE NO POWER. But but I'm just theory guys I'm just saying if you were REALLY DOWN you;d be doing this this and that the patraiarchy would fall. I'm just saying but don't take me seriously I'm either just playing OR writing from a pov so blessedly unique to get into it when you ask for through lines and cognizance.
Point of view two is annoying very simply because it's bullying as political guidance.
Lady fuck you.Point end. If you can't stand on your own two feet and back up the endless verbal diarrea that flows free form from your mouth as something besides youre cute little tehee postings.
You are doing exactly what you're demonizing the first one is.
DOn't take me seriously....
Because I'm a woman
Yep ladies and gents see how fast that card gets pulled everytime when you try and get toe to toe with someone.
I'm just me , I'm not important, I can only be a part of stuff that's about me, or I'm only doing theory ( because that educational shit isn't so important, even if I won't listen to you If you haven't got it but it's definitely not important enough for you knwo us to begin to do anything with it).
At this point when ever someone pulls that card I feel HAPPY to oblige them. If you with all the privilege in the world want to discredit you're everyword when it comes out of your mouth . I will happily reserve the braincells and not read them.
NEXT!
I am tall and fat and black and almost obnoxiously curved. Finding professional clothes for a " woman like me " even if I wasnt poor and hell even if I wasn't fat would be slightly more fun the a four part wisdom teeth pull.
Finding Lipstick for me isn't jsut about money,or style norms, or class.
I like it .
Now help me find a shade
And NO ! Lipstick just can't be lipstick. I'm tired of navel gazing about why what I do is ever so special and " different" from everyone ENDING the minute it goes into
Guess what you're not all that special , you're not this ittybitty special snowflake in the world and what you do says a hell of a lot about how you live in the world.
Shannon isn't asking Jill to justify her bikini wax and it's a stupid ass dodge to think so. Shannon is asking that for once when someone points out that the mere fact that something like a bikini WAX or heels ARE ACTUALLY CHOICES fro Jill it says something about where she is in the world.
It says something about a hundreds of words post dedicated to " fun feminism" that a bikini wax and heels are part of the fun .
It says something that when asked to engage in the fun rather than tit up and say you know what I don't want to think about it , which is what you're saying ladies but the " reverse " insert ism that only barely mattered before it interrupted your little theory wank.
And no you're not just defending a friend. Defending a friend means honoring the friend and protecting them waht happens instead is bloodsport. It's this mena girls " YOU DONT GET TO TALK LALALLALALA " see how MEAN you are.
Because god forbid we talk about the fact that NO a lipstick isn't a lipstick when you can afford shoes at all
That no a burqa isn't jsut a motherfucking burqa when the women who wear them's first request is that maybe jsut maybe you hook them up with water food and get the fuck out their way first before you white swan your way into a convo you don't know about.
AND
NO
Lipstick is not jsut lipstick when someone has teh motherfucking gall to go " put your money where your mouth is" because they are shocke dtaht we're still fighting and shocked that some women might not have all of blglandia behind them. and get services
Why can't they get services ?
Because their poor.
BEcause lipstick isnt jsut lipstick
Because a burqa isn't a burqa.
Because she's raising a child while trying to live long enough to see her child graduate .
Because she's got two jobs two kids, and STILL CAN'T FUCKING STRETCH to make ends meet.
BECAUSE SHES GOT A COLLEGE EDUCTAION and mountains of debt.
Because she is feminism.
And it is fucking galling that the same people who want to hear nothing from her when she speaks want to tell her to put up or shut up if she points out that a $40 bikini wax being more than just fun
Feign shock and concern that while they were diddling away at the SHOCK of being questioned she couldn't find an abortion
or she couldn't get to court for the restraining order
or the FBI kicked in her front door.
or Katrina kicked her out of house and home and now NOLA ain't trying to let her back in.
So my dear BL
What is feminism
Feminism gets up off bathroom floor when no one is there to lift her.
Feminism goes back to school at 25/35/45/65 when no one pats her on her head for her marked briliance
Feminism listens and asks questions instead of always having teh answers.
Feminisms dusts charred books with bloddy hands and writes terstained verses in hopes someone will find them because she is sure the next bomb will kill her.
Feminism defends gays in the military and then attends anti war rallies.
Feminism spins around the pole , pegs her boyfriend and her girlfriend. AND owns fuck me pumps.
Feminism CARES.
Feminism would rather do the right thing than be right.
Feminism owns up to it's shit , claims it for it's own and works for better.
Feminism takes the weight of teh world on her shoulders , the strength of the woman in her heart, and the softness of love in her eyes. Feminism is strong human fragile and real.
And Feminism is okay with that.

Now that was some poetry. Making me ball like a baby. I love you, BA.
Feminism is about AGENCY.
so yah, there are always choices. that's sort of the whole point. maybe not always -good- choices, but choices nonetheless.
("Your money or your life"
"...I'm thinking, I'm thinking"
--old Jack Beny gag)
To me, "I just like it, that's all" usually=shorthand for "None of your fucking business, now piss off."
sure, examine; but you examine yourself. 'sall, really.

*ovation*
Thanks for this BA. I haven't read such a good response to 'what feminism is' in a very long time.
hear hear!
isn't lipstick just a western burqa? i don't want to intrude on a discussion that i know next to nothing about- but being the pushy bitch that i am- i am anyway- so thanks for your patience and indulgence in advance. women in this country as a whole- no different than the folks we pity in the middle east- for example. we are fettered and held back by a patriarchal society and conditioned through a different but amazingly similar religion- christianity. we wear the 'see through burqas' of makeup and gender specific roles. we are forced to look a certain way because that is what men find pleasing. we can fool ourselves into thinking that we are free to make choices but don't we really make choices based on finding a man, pleasing a man, devoting ourselves to family, etc., etc? not saying that these things are inherently evil- just saying that we really shouldn't kid ourselves. honesty is not a current, if ever, american trait. i, for one, am sick and tired of the denial and lies and fear that are at the very heart of this nation. whether it be the issue of feminism, gay rights, or actual civil liberties- america is a nation that was built on lofty principles but its foundation was one of lies and deceit. can't sustain that forever. thanks.
BA~
I bow deeply to you. Brava!
And on my way to get some roses for you!
Take care,
Jay
no, actually, lipstick can be any number of things. at its root it's ritual face paint. it's smearing creamy stuff on your face to be someone else for a while. theatre. artifice. mystery. among other things. or it can be. it's -not- all about the Men, sometimes, really. anyway i refuse to let it be: i don't give a fuck about them (the Men).
anything can be a "burqa," in the sense you're using it here. Doesn't even have to be material at all. The mind suffices.
but yes, I for one am all about more honesty. or that's my goal. that, yes.
Betmo the thing is lipstick can be all the things you say and we never have to bring in teh burqa.
That's what most annoys me about these exchanges.
IT IS COMPLETLEY FINE TO WNAT TO BURN THE MOTHER DOWN.
IT IS COMPLETLEY FINE TO WANT TO DIVA IT UP.
But what annoys the ever loving merde out of me is what youve said so succinnctly
" DONT KID YOURSELF"
You do it you do it for a reason that is important to you. INtrinsic to you.
And yes YOu are important enough to make those decisions so lLEAVE her stuff and her stuff and her stuff out of it.
And because you are important it's important to challenge you.
YOu dont get to be important and insignificant allat once.
And if you feel you are insignificant you dont get to pull other women to prop you up.
so the problem isnt
Sint lipstick burqa
or some times lipstick is jsut lipstick
But lipstick is lipstick and if youre gonan use it in the way you describe and tell us all about it and then get mad when someone says
HOLD UP WAIT A SECOND you're not JSUT wearing lipstick ( and you even fucking admit it)
YOu cnat then retreat into it's just little ole me
WAWAH
Why dont you do something important
because truly if your words arent important
Ill remember that next time and make sure I ignore them as you have jsut indicated.
Just two words:
RACK.
HER.
As fabulous a case for authentic feminism that I've ever seen.
Preach on, sista.
Anthony
"Feminism gets up off bathroom floor when no one is there to lift her" -- damn straight. That's it, right there. It's getting up because you can, because you're worth it, because you have that power. Feminism is also being the one helping other women up off the floor when everyone else has forgotten them. It's the knowledge that you've got the strength to make your life into whatever it is you want it to be, inside you and that no one can take that from you.
BA:
Wow. Just amazing!
YAY. A beautiful vision of feminism. Agency for all.
I am confused by feminists, by many women. Feminists seem to want to dictate what feminism means to each and every woman, and since each woman is different, almost all of you seem to have a different take on what feminism is. When a feminist doesn't meet your standard of what you think feminism is, then you look down your nose at each other and tell them that they are not true feminists because the definition of feminism is XYZ.
Correct me if I am wrong, but what comes through loud and clear to me is the rage and anger women feel towards other women for making life choices which might not be choices they would make for themselves. I can't tell you the number of times that I have heard that a woman cannot be happy being a stay at home mom, caring for her children because she is too stupid to know that she is simply brainwashed into thinking that "servitude" is a fulfilling life. So the woman who is content being at home, raising her children, tending to a house and a husband is never considered a legitimate person in some women's eyes because they don't give certain women credit for making life decisions which suit them. I don't get that or how that helps anyone.
What I see more than anything is women not being supportive of other women whether they are working 70 hour weeks as a lawyer, handing out food at the Burger King drive thru, or chasing after three kids under 5 years old. Each of us is looking elsewhere and trying to find the reasons that the choices other people make aren't good enough to live up to the feminist standard (which changes meaning with each person you read or talk to).
I don't consider myself a feminist, but I consider myself supportive of all women. I try to look at each individual and not lump women into categories labeled by me. I don't judge from a distance and pretend that my observations are gospel truth. I don't think men do this to each other and it makes me sad that women seem to be the ones who are holding ourselves back and we don't even recognize it.
Softserve for me the anger isn't at teh coices.
At all .
It's at the sudden shaock and amazement that peopple pull when they get called on those choices.
As a person who except for extremextreme wealth has lexperienced nearly every socioeconomic strata in 22 years
I honestly don't give a fuck.
But I do give a damn when women abscond of agency for thos choices. I do give a damn when the response to that conforntation is
" YOURE HURTING MY FEELINGS"
or
YOURE HOLDING US BACK
Feminism is a proces sthat should in my mind work tomaking sure ALL AGENCY is respected where the hell you land with said agency falls up to you, one and the god of your choosing.
I refuse to be impressed by you making a choice , I don't run a store so I dont give credit.
I want that you cna make that cchoice in a safe way , t hat you are treated the same for making whtaever choice you make and YOUR CHOICE
IS YOUR CHOICE
and MY choices are left out of you choices
unless I am treated as a proper individual.
SO i don't know the you of which you speak , since
on the real I'm selfish and kind of egoistic so ofr the honest part I dont really give a damn about other womens choices
AS LONG AS SHE IS FREE TO MAKE THEM
AND AWARE OF THEIR IMPLICATIONS.
Each individual doesnt get the same opportunities , the same influence or the same set of givens.
Disagreeing with this desire to go " EVERYTHING IS OKAY " whatever it is you want no challenge isn't looking down my nose at anyone.
If the lawyer gets her money AT THE EXPENSE of the BK worker I have a problem with her going you just don't like my choices.
IF the stay at home mom gets to stay at home because of unfair benefits she receives cause her partner is a he and not a she
I have problems. Those are agency Destroyers for other women and that's not okay for me.
Supporting ALL women menas at some point going if you have more for no reason and its screwing her or if she wants to be flogged and its not botheirng you BACK OFF.
It's not jsut the we all can get together because then were not talking about how we really will or the fact taht honestly someo of us dont want too
>And yes YOu are important enough to make those decisions so lLEAVE her stuff and her stuff and her stuff out of it.
And because you are important it's important to challenge you.
YOu dont get to be important and insignificant allat once.
And if you feel you are insignificant you dont get to pull other women to prop you up.>
Huzzah fucking huzzah.
Yeah it's like: these are people farting around with structural "isms," but because for whatever reason they can't or won't put anything in a context other than the individual, not -really-, (the closest they come is "the world, it is me! I feel this way, and so there are others, and others, and others! Just like me! --oh, wait, i want to be a good person; therefore i must also take on feeling bad for such and so! but not too much! feeling bad=activism!"), these...discussions? on the bigger blogs, f'r instance? take on the fuckwitted tone that they do.
and of course, "you're hurting my feelings. You don't see what a TRULY GOOD PERSON I AM."
1) this was not the original issue. your intentions. hurt feelings. this is a structural problem, the kind you keep claiming to be all about "examining"
2) but as long as we're on the subject: are you of the impression that NO ONE ELSE has any damn feelings? 'cause YES, that's there too, hurt feelings, fuckloads of them, some with the added weight of TONS of similar shit from elsewhere eight billion times over, which is what people have been trying and trying and TRYING TO TELL YOU, o Great White (or whatever) Hope; and...nothing. el zilcho. Zip.
"enough about me; what do YOU think about me?"
"Why, I think you're an asshole. Next?"
Feminism gets up off bathroom floor when no one is there to lift her.
girl, this line got me--boo hooing and crying...only another sista would know this part of a woman/girl's heart.
we will always rise--Rise sista, RISE...
A most excellent rant.
Shannon isn't asking Jill to justify her bikini wax and it's a stupid ass dodge to think so. Shannon is asking that for once when someone points out that the mere fact that something like a bikini WAX or heels ARE ACTUALLY CHOICES fro Jill it says something about where she is in the world.
I was puzzled by the reaction to what seemed to me just a observation by Shannon. And the excuse for that reaction, that shannon was attempting to "shame" Jill.
I've been seeing a lot of that around lately, the "shaming" stuff. Slut shaming, Jill shaming, this shaming, that shaming... it seems to me that while some of it may actually be so, its' also sort of being used as a shield against any sort of criticism at all (even if criticism is not meant).
Dunno where it comes from, I'm too late to the game, but still.
Feminisms dusts charred books with bloddy hands and writes terstained verses in hopes someone will find them because she is sure the next bomb will kill her.
Beautiful and evocative. That's so often been what feminism is, through the ages, before anyone even knew its name.
Also, I have to say I just love this line:
I am tall and fat and black and almost obnoxiously curved.
Sounds like a great story opening. In fact, it reminds me of one by Dorothy Parker which I can't quite remember (and I can't find my book), but says "He was something something, shaped to be annoyed". Which, of course, doesn't sound nearly as compelling with the 'something, somethings" in there, but still.
Feminism is about AGENCY
Yeah. And I am tired of mofos emailing me and trying to tell me what to do with my agency.
I meant to tell you BA, how great you are.....
Nanette,
I think the reaction is more an aspect of middle- and upper-middle class privilege. I don't particularly understand it, but here's the best way I wrapped my head around it so far.
Back when 911 happened, I happened to be involved in a lot of online communities as part of my job. I basically did a lot of research for my boss, keeping my ear to the ground. When he needed info, I was his librarian and exec summary writer. (HA!)
A lot of reaction to that was that, "they hate us." There was this implicit assumption that they recognized that we had things -- material things -- and that other people coveted them. There was also this implicit recognition that we were like the bully on the block, and that a lot of people had it in for us b/c of that exercise of power.
Anyway, I see it as a defensive reaction formation: it's a fear maybe encouraged by a consumerist lifestyle, to project on to others a desire for your "stuff" ? dunno.
Plus, there is the whole "poor little rich girl" thing where the well-to-do person is misunderstood.
oh, and the other thing, US politics really seems to be so zeroed in on the personal is political, it seems to cultivate some bizarre self-hatred. Again, just speculations. But I've seen it often enough -- the charge of reverse classism as if it's just about stereotypes.... *sigh*g
Thank you. Your post reminded me of why I'm proud to call myself a feminist & showed me some new reasons as well. Your post made me remember why we ever had to ask "Ain't I a Woman?", and reminded me that we still have not gotten an answer to that question. Keep on -

i will say this. haven't seen that actual thread (shannon at feministe), but there is a context, yes: there IS a lot of shaming going around, or has been, and it's had little to do with the wealthy per se: rather, shame on the "sexbots," shame on high heel and short skirt wearers ("you're making us all look bad"), the fluffy airhead ("trashy," even?) femmes who don't understand how they're tools of the big bad Patriarchy, shame shame shame.
there was also the Molly Saves the Day thing, more recently. but online at least this has been going on for a while. starts with factions of the radical feminists and radiated, albeit in confused, diluted form, i'd say, up to the Big More Liberal Blogs.
why some people apparently are o.k. with Twisty but not with Shannon or even Molly pulling this is something that i haven't the energy to really consider too closely.
but yeah, I feel kind of torn. as i was trying to get at in the post BA links to here: there are actually two different but hopelessly entangled things going on here. One is the femme-and-slut-bashing that's been going on for yonks now; the other is, as noted, class unconsciousness. (among other forms of unconsciousness).
>it seems to me that while some of it may actually be so, its' also sort of being used as a shield against any sort of criticism at all (even if criticism is not meant).>
I mean, I'm one of the ones whose knee jerks hardest at the "you can't take any criticism at all, can you!" line, mostly because i've seen the notion of "criticism" be -so- abused (along with i'd say a good number of actual people) over the last while.
So, you know. On the one hand, sure, I get why the fight over $100 flats or heels is gonna just alienate a lot of people. On the other hand, I really hate it when it starts turning into, "oh, you and your FRIVOLOUS "empowering" shit like eyeliner and high heels! for FUCK'S SAKE, don't you ever think about anything IMPORTANT? self-absorbed ditz"
...because as *I've* been seeing it, the people who've been -most- obsessed with this sort of minutae are the ones who go around volubly "criticizing" it. Which sometimes is a genuine examination of one's own personal journey and/or how this shit plays out in the media, but far too often devolves into point giggle ooh looka HER, poor dumb bimbot.
guess who I Blame for that. nope, didn't start or even patent that old-as-the-hills dynamic, but sure does do a terrific job of masking plain old reactionary sneering as "feminist critique." A lot of people have bought it, even people who otherwise -consciously- don't agree with any of it (gosh darn it, she's so cute and clever, twinkle twinkle coddle twinkle), and, as I've made pretty fucking clear, it sends me up the damn wall.
But at any rate, as I've seen it, pretty much no one makes a big fucking deal about their shaving, eyeliner, blahblah *until they feel attacked for it.* And then when they try to defend themselves, they get the added slap-on of "god! can't you think of anything ELSE besides your lipstick, blahblah! and you're so SENSITIVE, too."
the money thing, as I've said, is i think a separate issue, but it does get all bound up for a couple of reasons:
1) the equation/conflation of "beauty" (and other femme rituals) with "the beauty industry" and *consumerism.*
Which people are just -starting- to try and sort out, but as you've seen, it's just one big old fucking mess. Not least because, as BL and some others keep saying time and again, there's no greater context for this, this look at -consumerism,- at -capitalism,- even; it all becomes the endless dreary litany of male oppression, women subordinated, blah blah blah, as though all this existed in a vacuum that had little or nothing to do with class or even money.
Which last bit, yes, I do think also has to do with the class unconsciousness of the wealthier folks. Which you start to see more of in the big liberal "mainstream" blogs. It has -not-played out like that as much in the smaller (white) radical feminist (who often, not always, tend to be a lot less socioeconomically privileged than their more liberal counterparts) blogs, but yes, there still are the "Beauty Wars" there, too. Which leads me to:
2) the Puritanical equation of femininity (*not* just women qua women, I mean makeup, baubles, dress-up, yadda) with frivolity, weakness, and even sin.
which funnily enough, the whole dour Calvinistic-derived Christian baggage, sometimes a double dose's worth (ambient culture *and* maybe personal/familiar background as well) does not i would say automatically disappear just because someone has recently taken up the mantle of Feminism.
and funnily enough, in this worldview, as you see most clearly with the current right wing, -money- per se is just fine. What -isn't- okay is sensual indulgence.
and i will just note here that our dear TF apparently hails from stern Republican by-the-bootstraps stock, and that I'm quite sure she's not the only one. at any rate i suspect there are a number of reasons why a "radical feminist" who thinks status-y restaurants are just fine (yes, that's sensual indulgence, too, but more acceptable) and never talks about class at all, but spends much of her "blaming" energy on all the traditional "sins," here conveniently repackaged as patriarchal traps instead of devilish feminine wiles, is as popular as she is.
btw, you've been meme-tagged.
Feminism would rather do the right thing than be right.
I loved all of your post, but thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for saying that.
Your post blew things open for me again. Women can do anything they want whether it's wearing heels, tights and makeup, being a SAHM, stripping, wearing a veil as long as they're not hurting anyone. They should be aware of sexism but it's not up to any one to tell them what to do. People cannot criticize other womens' agency or ability to act be it wearing tights, heels and makeup, being a traditional SAHM, wearing a veil, stripping because these are different ways women survive.
"Feminism defends gays in the military and then attends anti war rallies.
Feminism spins around the pole , pegs her boyfriend and her girlfriend. AND owns fuck me pumps.
Feminism CARES.
Feminism would rather do the right thing than be right."
Amen, Amen!!! Tell'em cuz they really don't seem to know!
and well-timed, too, considering the bullshit that just went down between Bartow and zuzu (and by implication i suppose could be others as well).
well, at least everyone knows, now.
wow.
Er, Feminism is one thing and one thing only. Equality of the sexes
Actually no thank you so very much for playing.
Says who. Got facts got theory
Of course not.
Feminism as defined by white gender only people can be about eliminating the effect of sex but if you read anything i write or anything i quote you see thta hmmm we're looking towards a broadening of feminism so that doesnt work
Let me put this plain I can write what I want say what I want and do what ever I want. You want to debate me fine. You want to argue points . But come on my blog call me completely wrong and or pointless you're fucking gone
THERE IS NO MOTHERFUCKING THANG CALLED CHOICE FEMINISM AND ANYONE WHO BANDIES THAT ABOUT CAN REALLY SUCK MY TAMPON
This was my favorite line out of a lot of poetic ones. Except I use a Diva cup. so I would need a different insult. I'll have to think about it.
I am carrying out research into the representation of women in action adventure films in Hollywood films. and i would be greatful if you would give me your view on how you think they are presented and what your feelings are about this. I have a post on my blog which says a little abit about what i am doing and about the representation of women in action adventure as a starting point.

Taking about women not being supportive of other women, I wonder how come in Vancouver, Canada we left this happen:
http://www.orato.com/node/502
69 Women women seemingly vanished without trace and it wasn't until long after their disappearance that the public, the media,the police or other women took serious notice. Now, as the alleged killer finally faces trial, a city wonders how we could have let this happen so quietly.
Now why'd you have to go and be so fucking beautiful BA? This whole post is just another example of your constant attempt to promote lesbian radicalism among otherwise sensible straight feminists.
It's immoral and I demand you do it more often ;)
This was my favorite line out of a lot of poetic ones. Except I use a Diva cup.

" YOURE HURTING MY FEELINGS"
or
YOURE HOLDING US BACK
Yeah, it's a pretty piss poor day for feminism if it can't stand to have one woman wear makeup or wear a veil, if it's that fucking fragile it isn't the person who's making the "Bad choice" that's the problem but the movement itself.
