WHAT WE CAN DO IN THE STRUGGLE FOR REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE INTRODUCTION The term reproductive justice was introduced in the 1990s by a group of American Women of Color,1 who had attended the 1994 Inter- national Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), which was sponsored by the United Nations and is known as “the Cairo conference.” 2 After listening to debates by representatives of the gov- ernments of UN nation states about how to slow population growth and encourage the use of contraceptives and the extent to which women’s reproductive rights could/should be guaranteed, the group realized, as Loretta Ross later wrote, that “[o]ur ability to control what happens to our bodies is constantly challenged by poverty, racism, en- vironmental degradation, sexism, homophobia, and injustice .
  • Mate Guarding and the Evolution of Patriarchy

    Mate Guarding and the Evolution of Patriarchy

    It’s a Man’s World: Mate Guarding and the Evolution of Patriarchy During human evolution the prevention of cuckoldry has been an adaptive problem for the human male, solved in many other species by intensely guarding females during fertile periods. Signs of estrus in human females are much subtler than in many other species meaning that there is less certainty of the exact timing of the fertile period. This necessitates extended mate guarding which potentially reduces male fitness due to the loss of extra-pair fertilization opportunities and other fitness-compromising costs, such as reduction in the time spent acquiring status and resources. Patriarchy is a system of implicit and explicit rules of conduct, of power structures, and of belief systems that support male control over women’s reproduction and has existed for thousands of years. We examine the manifestations of patriarchy as a unique form of mate guarding which is able to function even in the absence of males. We explore historical and contemporary patriarchal practices such as rape, foot-binding, honor-killing and female genital mutilation and argue that males use patriarchy to increase the costs associated with female extra-pair copulation to increase their certainty of paternity. At the same time patriarchy functions to enforce in-pair childbearing by discouraging contraception and abortion. We propose that this form of control of females evolved to avoid an evolutionary trade-off between the benefits of monogamy and those of promiscuity for human males and that there has been selection on females for those compliant with patriarchy, who tended to have more surviving offspring.

  • Finally Become Global Or Just Another Product of Neoliberal Feminism?

    Finally Become Global Or Just Another Product of Neoliberal Feminism?

    #MeToo – Has the ‘sisterhood’ finally become global or just another product of neoliberal feminism? Farnush Ghadery [email protected] LSS, Law School London South Bank University Abstract: The article discusses the #MeToo movement by reflecting on its origins and recent developments to consider its position within feminist theory. On the one hand, the cross- border proliferation of this hashtag revived the question once posed by liberal feminist Robin Morgan: Has the ‘sisterhood’ finally become global? Others questioned the deeper meaning of the ‘me’ as part of #MeToo, wondering whether the need for individual responsibility to come forward indicates that the movement fits only too well with what has been coined neoliberal feminism. Disagreeing with both categorisations, the article positions #MeToo as a transnational feminist consciousness-raising endeavour which can be traced across different places worldwide. Referring to some of these contextualised uses of #MeToo, the article argues that #MeToo has been able to manifest itself as a transnational feminist phenomenon, as it has allowed groups in distinct spaces and localities to take ownership of the varying manifestations of #MeToo. Keywords: #metoo – feminism – feminist legal theory – sexual harassment – digital activism – transnational movements – transnational law #MeToo – Has the ‘sisterhood’ finally become global or just another product of neoliberal feminism? Farnush Ghadery I. Introduction It is now a year and a half ago that the revelation of sexual violence and harassment amongst the bold and the beautiful in Hollywood1 led to the hashtag ‘MeToo’ going viral. This event permitted the laywoman and layman to share their own story of sexual violence or to ‘just’ express that they, too, have been subjected to forms of sexual abuse by tweeting or sharing on Facebook, Instagram and other forms of social media the now famous expression of #MeToo.

    TITLE of COURSE and COURSE NUMBER: Global Perspectives on Women's Lives WS 420 3 Credits

    TITLE OF COURSE AND COURSE NUMBER: Global Perspectives on Women's Lives WS 420 3 Credits DESCRIPTION OF COURSE: This course addresses the social, sexual-reproductive, economic, political, and cultural dimensions of women's lives from a global perspective. We scrutinize the status of women and girls, identifying the consequences of globalization for life in societies, in communities and of individuals. Our critical feminist standpoint encompasses three interconnected stages: description of conditions and theoretical framing of issues; development of visions of social justice leading to liberaiton from oppression; and planning and engagement in action necessary to create such social and personal change. Here, we are particularly interested in finding ways to connect activism at the local level to activism at the national and global levels. COURSE CONTENT: Overview of the general geographical and geopolitical characteristics of nations in the five continents: America, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and Europe. 1. The historical expansion of the patriarichal capitalist system and the connection to Western colonization of nations in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America and the Pacific Islands. Overview of this global economic and political history and trends in the 20th Century, including: a. Modernity and the creation and demise of centrally planned socialist states in the Soviet Union, China, Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Chile, Grenada and Nicaragua; the capitalist wars against national liberation struggles and the role of women in them, for example, in Nicaragua, Chile and Argentina. b. Dependent capitalist development efforts in the Third World, after WWII' s the economic boom, including manufacturing for internal consumption and for export, and agricultural development; gender, class and race/ethnicity related effects of development on women and families.

    The Prism of Gender Catherine G

    1 THE PRISM OF GENDER CATHERINE G. VALENTINE distribute n the metaphorical kaleidoscope of this book, gender is the pivotal prism. It is central to the intricate patterning of social life and encompasses power relations, the division of labor, symbolic forms, and emotional relations I(Connell, 2000). The shape and texture of people’s lives are affected inor profound ways by the prism of gender as it operates in their social worlds. Indeed, our ways of thinking about and experiencing gender, and the related categories of sex and sexuality, originate in our society. As we noted in the introduction to this book, gender is very complex. In part, the complexity of the prism of gender in North American culture derives from the fact that it is characterized by a marked contradiction between people’s beliefs about gender and real behavior. Our real behavior is far more flexible, adaptable, and malleable than our beliefs would have it. To put it another way, contrary to the stereotypes of masculinity and femininity, there are no gender certainties or absolutes. Real people behave in feminine, masculine, and nongendered ways as they respond to situational demands and contingencies (Glick & Fiske, 1999; Pfeffer, 2014; Tavris, 1992). post, To help us think more clearly about the complexity of gender, two questions are addressed in this chapter: (1) How does Western, i.e., Euro-American, culture condition us to think about gender, especially in relation to sex and sexuality? (2) How does social scientific research challenge Western beliefs about gender, sex, and sexuality? WESTERN BELIEFS ABOUT Gcopy,ENDER, SEX, AND SEXUALITY Most people in contemporary Western cultures, such as the United States, grow up learning that there are two and only two sexes, male and female; two and only two genders, feminine and masculine; and two and only two sexu- alities, heterosexual and homosexual (Bem, 1993; Budgeon, 2014; Lucal, 2008; Pfeffer, 2014; Wharton, 2005).
