"The fact that the western state have now grown a form of feminism that theologically absolves their responsibility to see women in relation to her reproductive role, should scare the living shit out of every single woman in the west. But they are under a spell that myself and a committed group of women hope to break."
WOW, I love the way you put this into words. Thanks, this was a thought provoking piece of writing.
I like structure because I’m very goal focussed, and for me a structure is the fastest way to get to the goal. That doesn’t make me a high achiever, because I’m not, but I do like to achieve. There has been a tendency amongst some feminists to eschew structure because of the ‘male dominance’ overtones it has, and I think that hasn’t always worked very well. Humans have a natural tendency to form hierarchal groups, imo, whether they’re loosely or formally hierarchal, and I don’t think we should try and pretend that doesn’t exist. However, it doesn’t mean that we can’t develop new ways of working together where a hierarchy isn’t automatically autocratic. I like the sound of the small groups structure within an organisation that Kit talked about.
