Individual and social feminism

vendredi 18 mai 2018 à 02:00

On the break between individual feminism (making each woman stronger and better able to resist sexism) and social feminism (working together to end sexism).

In principle, I'm in favor of both forms. I don't think they conflict except occasionally in details. Sexism is a form of bigotry, so it is good to help the targets of bigotry overcome it, and also good to change society to reduce it. Just as workers organize against injustice toward workers, woman can organize too.

However, no one is entitled to demand special sensitivity from others. Demands are legitimate when what is at stake are your rights. Anything beyond that, you can request but not demand.

In the automated and deregulated economy, "disruption" means people lose jobs forever, "automation" likewise, and "self-employment" means working harder for less pay.

We have no obligation to permit companies to do these things to us. Human rights cover how you live your life, but not business practices.
