Heather Eaton, Saint Paul University A second claim is that women and nature are connected Ecofeminism is an activist and academic movement that sees conceptually and/or culturally/symbolically. These connections are critical connections between the domination of nature and the articulated in several ways. Many agree with Ruether that Western exploitation of women. The term ecofeminism, first used by French cultures present ideas about the world in a hierarchical and feminist Francoise d’Eaubonne1 in 1974, was hailed as the third dualistic manner that is lived out in the way the world is organized. wave of feminism. Ecofeminism, as Karen Warren notes,2 is an The claim is that dualist conceptual structures identify women with umbrella term for a wide variety of approaches. One may be a femininity, the body, Earth, sexuality, and flesh; and men with socialist ecofeminist, cultural ecofeminist, radical ecofeminist, masculinity, spirit, mind, and power. Dualisms such as ecowomanist, etc. Although the categorization of ecofeminism is a reason/emotion, mind/body, culture/nature, heaven/Earth, and contested point, what holds these disparate positions together is the man/woman converge. This implies that men have innate power claim that, as Karen Warren writes, “there are important over both women and nature.

Emotions and Relations in Men's Encounters with Feminism in Sweden
Ashamed of One’s Sexism, Mourning One’s Friends: Emotions and Relations in Men’s Encounters with Feminism in Sweden By Kalle Berggren Abstract One of the most important questions for feminist research on men and masculinity concerns how men can change and become more affected by feminism and less engaged in sexism. Here, men who identify as feminist, pro-feminist or anti-sexist have been considered to be of particular interest. This article contributes to the emerging research on men’s engagement with feminism by analysing contemporary writing about gender relations, inequality and masculinity, more specifically books about men published in Sweden, 2004-2015. Focusing on lived-experience descriptions, the analysis shows how a range of emotions are central to the processes where men encounter and are becoming affected by feminism. The emotions identified include happy ones such as relief, but a more prominent place is given to negative emotions such as alienation, shame, frustration, as well as loss and mourning. Drawing on Ahmed’s model of emotions as bound up with encounters with others, the article highlights how men’s engagement with feminism is embedded within interpersonal relations with others, particularly women partners, men friends, and children. Keywords: Emotions, feminism, men, masculinity, queer phenomenology.

Femininity/Masculinity
Femininity/Masculinity Jan E. Stets and Peter J. Burke Department of Sociology, Washington State University Pp. 997-1005 in Edgar F. Borgatta and Rhonda J. V. Montgomery (Eds.), Encyclopedia of Sociology, Revised Edition. New York: Macmillan. Introduction Femininity and masculinity or one's gender identity (Burke, Stets and Pirog-Good 1988; Spence 1985) refers to the degree to which persons see themselves as masculine or feminine given what it means to be a man or woman in society. Femininity and masculinity are rooted in the social (one's gender) rather than the biological (one's sex). Societal members decide what being male or female means (e.g., dominant or passive, brave or emotional), and males will generally respond by defining themselves as masculine while females will generally define themselves as feminine. Because these are social definitions, however, it is possible for one to be female and see herself as masculine or male and see himself as feminine. It is important to distinguish gender identity, as presented above, from other gender-related concepts such as gender roles which are shared expectations of behavior given one's gender. For example, gender roles might include women investing in the domestic role and men investing in the worker role (Eagly 1987). The concept of gender identity is also different from gender stereotypes which are shared views of personality traits often tied to one's gender such as instrumentality in men and expressiveness in women (Spence and Helmreich 1978). And, gender identity is different from gender attitudes that are the views of others or situations commonly associated with one's gender such as men thinking in terms of justice and women thinking in terms of care (Gilligan 1982). -
Libertarianism, Feminism, and Nonviolent Action: a Synthesis
LIBERTARIAN PAPERS VOL. 4, NO. 2 (2012) LIBERTARIANISM, FEMINISM, AND NONVIOLENT ACTION: A SYNTHESIS GRANT BABCOCK* I. Introduction MURRAY ROTHBARD’S CONTRIBUTION to libertarian ethics was to outline a theory prohibiting aggressive violence (1978, p. 27-30). The influence of Rothbard’s ethics,1 combined with a decades-long political alliance with conservatives based on anticommunism, has produced a debate within libertarian circles about whether libertarians qua libertarians must take positions against certain forms of repression that do not involve aggressive violence. The non-aggression principle is as good a libertarian litmus test as has been suggested. Often, the voices who levy allegations of non-aggressive (or at least not exclusively aggressive) oppression come from the political left, and have un-libertarian (read: aggressive) solutions in mind, even if they do not conceive of those solutions as violent. Despite these considerations, I do believe that libertarians qua libertarians are obligated to say something about the kind of non-aggressive oppression that these voices from the left have raised regarding issues including, but not limited to, race, class, gender, and sexual orientation. Making the case that libertarians have these obligations irrespective of their * Grant Babcock ([email protected]) is an independent scholar.

Implementing Armenian Feminist Literature Within Feminist Discourse
YOU HAVE A VOICE HERE: IMPLEMENTING ARMENIAN FEMINIST LITERATURE WITHIN FEMINIST DISCOURSE By Grace Hart A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in English: Applied English Studies Committee Membership Dr. Christina Accomando, Committee Chair Dr. Lisa Tremain, Committee Member Dr. Janet Winston, Program Graduate Coordinator July 2020 “Writing is dangerous because we are afraid of what the writing reveals, the fears, the angers, the strengths of a woman under a triple or quadruple oppression. Yet in that very act lies our survival because a woman who writes has power. And a woman with power is feared.” - Gloria Anzaldúa ABSTRACT YOU HAVE A VOICE HERE: IMPLEMENTING ARMENIAN FEMINIST LITERATURE WITHIN FEMINIST DISCOURSE Grace Hart This project melds personal narrative with literary criticism, as it excavates the literature of Armenian writer and political activist Zabel Yessayan, particularly with her novel My Soul in Exile and memoir The Gardens of Silihdar. I argue that the voice of Zabel Yessayan should be included in the feminist women of color discourse within institutions in the United States. I develop this argument by bringing in the works of Cherríe Moraga and Gloria Anzaldúa’s anthology This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color and showing parallels in themes and lenses such as excavating traumatic histories, the importance of personal identity, and using writing as a form of resistance. Zabel Yessayan’s texts and This Bridge both comprise stories conveying the theme of residing in the “in-between,” and topics concerning womanhood, culture, identity, alienation and isolation. -

It explores existentialist tenets in feminist ethics and care ethics and reclaims existentialism as a resourceful theory in addressing global ethical issues. My dissertation moves beyond the once prevalent paradigm that feminist ethics should be devoid of any traditional ethical theories and it shows that an existential phenomenological ethics can complement feminist ethics in a productive way. The first chapter, introduces and discusses an existentialist notion of freedom based on Simone de Beauvoir and Jean Paul Sartre’s writings. In order to establish that human beings are metaphysically free, I explain notions of in-itself, for-itself, transcendence, immanence, facticity, and bad faith which are the basic notions of an existentialist notion of freedom. -

Feminism Approach in Novel Salah Pilih by Nur St
FEMINISM APPROACH IN NOVEL SALAH PILIH BY NUR ST. ISKANDAR Fitriani Lubis Medan State University E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Feminism began to develop in society, especially women who have higher education. Even so there are also some people who do not understand the understanding of feminism. Feminism is born from the unfair treatment felt by women. Through literary work, feminism was born as a thought to change the unfavorable situation for women. This paper examines the approach of feminism in the novel Salah Pilih by Nur St. Iskandar. Keywords: Literary Criticism, Feminism, Novel Feminism is a movement that demands the emancipation or equality and justice of rights by men. Feminism comes from Latin, femina or female. This term began to be used in the 1890s, referring to the theory of equality of men and women and the movement to obtain women's rights. The widespread definition of feminism is the advocacy of equality of women's rights in political, social, and economic matters. The feminist movement began in the late 18th century and flourished throughout the twentieth century beginning with the equality of women's political rights. Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman is considered one of the earliest feminist writings containing criticisms of the French Revolution which applies only to men but not to women. A century later in Indonesia, Raden Ajeng Kartini co-authored his thoughts on the criticism of the situation of Javanese women who were not given the opportunity to attain equal education with men other than criticism of Dutch colonialism.
