In this moment where we are talking about how "woke" is supposedly over, how feminism supposedly destroyed the workplace, and Muslim women are once again in the news, it's a good time to talk about Faux Feminism. My interview with the @thedissenteryt.bsky.social is up!

Here’s to celebrating International Women’s Day by finalising a critique of contemporary missionary feminisms, which are framed as solidarity with “other women”, but fail to hear their voices, know their herstories and respect their agency. Building on the powerful work of @serenekhader.bsky.social

A breakthrough for gender equality? Not even! @serenekhader.bsky.social would correctly identify the stunt as girlboss feminism. This time, it’s dressed up in matching blue onesies and a jaunt beyond the stratosphere but still caters only to the 1%. Miss me with that mess.

The decision on Mahmoud Khalil today will reveal whether we live in a system where authorities can decide what speech is acceptable and condemn people on that basis. We all must pay attention.

The definition of individual feminism and it's ties to colonialism explained by @serenekhader.bsky.social . #academicsky

JCM: That’s individual feminism. Right?

SK: The rhetoric of individual freedom is deeply wrapped up in colonialism, especially in the idea that women need to be freed from their cultures and that women of color’s cultures are the thing that is holding them back. And to me, one of the most important things in the book is that there’s a whole chapter about colonialism in a book that people might not expect to find a chapter about colonialism in. Another secret life that the value of freedom has is that it turns our attention away from times where what we need is support and not to be left alone. And I think things like reproductive justice, which you and I have been talking about extensively, offer a lot of examples. You can talk about abortion in terms of individual choice, and obviously abortion is very important. But if you don’t have abortion access, which might require federal funding for you, then the rhetoric of individual choice is kind of empty.

Even if you think Paul Weiss and Columbia made the only choice available to them in the circumstances (and that's not what I think, to be clear), you have to recognize that there's no future for our democracy if every powerful institution approaches official extortion in this way.

Remind yourself, for instance, that the premised association with Tren de Aragua is one of the facts for which the administration has offered no evidence whatsoever - when you read passages like "the lack of specific information about each individual...demonstrates that they are terrorists"

“To put unjust hierarchy at the center of our thinking is at once to see what is wrong with many unfreedoms foisted on women […] and to see that sometimes what we need is something other than freedom. Sometimes we need care and support.” From today’s reading by @serenekhader.bsky.social
