The Trouble With Equality: Feminism and the Forgotten Places of Power

The Trouble With Equality: Feminism and the Forgotten Places of Power

 

"To say that women are equal to men or that men are equal to women is
to perpetuate the same naturalizing effects that allow exploitation to
thrive sooner or later. Equality falls
short where entanglement stands tall. It is not so much a glass-ceiling
that should worry us as it is a glass-wall between.


We desperately need a new vision of gender – new practices of porosity.
Hopefully the future will be queerer than we can think, and filled with
gender-bending communities that diversify the supposed gender binary
equation – allowing us to touch ourselves in ways that being man or
woman doesn’t allow us now.

We are all in this together – more than we thought possible."
