"Could we retrieve the idea of making personal issues collectively political rather than individuals dealing with the political, personally?"

Reclamations - Current Issue
"Increased equality hides the fact that many of the issues the women’s movement raised have not been resolved, especially with regard to re-production. It hides the fact that we are not engaged collectively in a socially transformative project as women, and that, with the advance of neo-liberalism, there has been a re-masculinization of society. The truculent, masculinist language of “We are the Crisis,” the opening article of “After the Fall,” is an egregious example of it. I fully understand why many women feel threatened rather than empowered by it."

Tiger Beatdown › Come one, come all! Feminist and Social Justice blogging as performance and bloodshed
"Call out culture, a phenomenon that casual readers might not even notice, is to me, the most toxic aspect of blogging. Not because it is set to correct wrongs and engage in meaningful ways to actually enact change. No, call out culture is toxic because it has developed as a tool to legitimize aggression and rhetoric violence. Its intent, at the root, is seemingly positive."

Sexonomics: To Slutwalk or not To Slutwalk?
"I became increasingly frustrated with, and then angry at, an interpretation of feminism that victimises women, men, and trans people in sex work using exactly the same arguments and judgments used against women as a whole for so long. And the staggering number of people who earn a living from their sexuality in one way or another queueing up to explain why some folks who do so are commericalising sexuality but they most emphatically are not."

Focal point
"There's an unexamined assumption that SlutWalk is bad feminism if it doesn't appeal to everyone. The same could be said about almost any kind of protest tactic. Civil disobedience is a lot easier to contemplate as a more privileged person. You have greater assurance of fair treatment by the justice system. You can be confident that your protest will be read as "Getting Arrested on Principle," as opposed to "Riff Raff Getting Out Of Line," and so on. That doesn't mean that civil disobedience is never a valid tactic."

Sex work and feminism: Kate Holden
"She is lamented by some feminists, lauded by others, lectured by religious groups, legislated by governments; monitored by health services, spurned by mortgage brokers, envied or condemned by friends, invited to write memoirs by publishers, assisted by outreach services; must live under one name and work by another.....‘To prostitute’ comes from pro and statuere: to expose, to place up front. In that sense, sex work itself, ironically, is prostituting the paradoxes of feminism."

Kathleen Hanna
"I guess seeing our dreams of liberation turn into dollar signs made us uber sensitive to the fact that we could, at some point, end up participating in the same old necrophilic drama. This fear left many of us walking around creepily denying we had any ambition at all."..."I guess what I am trying to say is that weirdo geniuses sharing what they do with the world is not a bad thing and there really are a zillion ways to do that. There are a lot of complicated, interesting places between purity and disconnected capitalism and if we don’t explore these places, and report back what we find, these two poles will just keep reinforcing each other into oblivion. At least that’s what I was thinking as I cracked up while watching the Feminist Bookstore sketch on Portlandia."

From the Archives: “My Hair Trauma” (1998) « threadbared
"Did I ever mention how much I hate the white avant-garde tradition? He revels in the modernist circumstance: the Western bourgeois and usually masculine subject imagines himself artist and rebel, bemoaning/celebrating his alienation while seeking to impose some more basic “truth.” "
