On a personal note, I like the zine that you assigned this week, it was very entertaining yet educational. I also made a zine too in my Gender and Women’s Studies class. But the understanding of the feminist praxis of friendship is simple. It’s about two or more people supporting each other and bonding every day getting to know one another. But there’s the deep bond that can never be replace, especially if you know that person inside and out. Also based on the readings, it showed the similarity that it’s about the understanding of yourself and another person that you see as your equal. But mainly, these readings showed me that there’s people in the world that gonna be there for you and the events that come for the rest of your life, if it lasts that long.

I’m so glad you enjoyed the zine! And, yes, great meditations on friendship. What do you think makes this “feminist?” There’s no one right answer to this, either. One thread that I see in these materials is that friendship is a way to practice interdependence and challenge the idea that we are all individuals who are only responsible for ourselves, and that this way of thinking about relationships opens up ways to think about social change, how we work together, sharing resources (e.g. “mutual aid”) and so on. And that it allows us to think about pleasure and joy as important parts of our lives.
