Dear Chula,
Radical feminist extremism, at its core, its starting point, is truly radical, because it views gender not as an individual trait, but as a social structure used to locate certain bodies. Do you feel that it falls short by failing to question the assumption that structures make about bodies in the first place, specifically that said gender categorizations are seemingly capable of fitting, quite easily, into said categories or are stable universal phenomena? Looking at it this way, does radical feminism not, quite obviously, morph into a very liberal project, one bent on reshaping the way those bodies are ordered and categorized socially, without actually questioning the lens through which gender has constructed the body in the first place, thus turning the entire philosophy into what seems to be a reactionary politic, lashing out against others who are questioning that lens, questioning the discursive attributes of gender, thus labeling them as immaterialist, defending scientific realist views on the body? |
