Material Feminism focuses on how nonhuman forces affect our agency, being, and culture. These material conditions can be looked at in terms of gender and relations to the actual lives of women. According to Jane Bennet, “these material powers, which can aid or destroy, enrich or disable, ennoble or degrade us, in any case call for our attentiveness, or even “respect”.” Mel Chen also focuses on similar forces such as “Words,” “Animals,” and “Metals.” She explains how matter that is considered immobile or insensate animates cultural lives.

This side of feminism offers us a new outlook on the diversity of feminism when it comes to the ideologies. It is a broad spectrum that touches every aspect. This offers us a more “material” perspective, by that I mean that it shows us that not only society and other humans affect our roles and who we are. Inanimate matter can affect our body, how we view certain issues and society as a whole.

Hey Queens !

It’s all about Cultural wars this week … society seems to think we have paved a way for woman to have equality but that just isn’t the case . There are still many things to fight for with that being said what are some woman right struggles that we go through Susan Fauldi makes the claim that woman’s rights have “ progressed” to an extent but the fight is truly is far from over . What are some woman’s rights that we struggle for instance is the lack of woman in power . Sure we have representation but From corporate boardrooms, to the courts and political leadership around the world, the lack of women in senior positions  . There is also a great deal of sexism, racism and economic inequality which if you ask me is part of the reason why we don’t have the amount of represents and although woman are still working their jobs mostly entails something that’s o the feline side I feel like we as woman should internalize that we have a lot of overcoming to come but this shouldn’t discourage us . It should just make us want to make a difference one day we’ll all get it and when do that will truly be the biggest win in woman’s history .

Hey Queens , hope all is well lets talk about what it means to Disidentify with something ? . When I think of the word disidentify I think it can be as simple as a person genuinely not being familiar with the idea of something or someone . On the other hand I also think it goes for people who don’t want to accept or believe something . We’ve all had moments where we were confused about a specific topic or any piece of information or where we choose not to understand for whatever odd reason . The dictionary term is “ is to not to identify with something to reject a personal or group identify “ ….. but by the looks of own personal definition its clear to see I don’t 100% agree . Our conscience have a lot to do with what we choose to identify and not identify wouldn’t you think

Hey Queens ! I recently read this phenomenal poem off the book “ The Bridge They Call My Back ’’ Called “ The Bridge Poem ’’ by Kate Rushin . The passage entails about a woman just being plain old tired about being a woman and the burden it brings . That may sound kind of weird considering this is home of a feminist blog post but I didn’t interpret like that. Kate Rushin talks about the things that people don’t get to express she’s real and you all know real always recognizes real so maybe that’s why the poem stood out like a sore thumb and helped contribute to the overall meaning of the book itself .

When you think about the book itself you would think this is about to be something inspiring encouraging yet that’s not even the case where in reality this poem is really about a black that is simply just tired of being a bridge and is simply just verbally expressing that . Rushin say says “ Ive had enough ….Sick of being the damn bridge for everybody” society misjudges women activist or feminist just because there has been an idea that was falsely generalized for all women. I think that the poem really brings awareness to convey the overall message of displaying the authors who are woman who had been active in the Women’s Movement and who are determined as a result to turn the differences among women by sharing their personal perspective on life as a woman in general

Well until next time Queens
