Please respond to at least 2 of the 4 sets of questions below. You can write separate posts or 1 long post– combined, the post should be 400-600 words (and can be longer). Your post should address all of the questions listed.
- What is feminist praxis, according to the text? What makes it “feminist?” What is your definition of feminism? How would you explain feminism to someone who had not heard this term before?
- Write about an example of feminist praxis– from the text, the Audre Lorde Project (above) or your own life– and discuss it. What is the role of theory, research, and action in this example? What do you find interesting or compelling about this example?
- What do the authors say about backlash? What are some examples of backlash against feminism that you have seen or experienced? What do you think drives the backlash in these examples and what are some ways to respond to it?
- Lorde writes about transforming silence into action. Select 1-2 quotes that you think capture her main ideas reflect upon what she is communicating to the reader. What is your response to Lorde? She also asks us: “What are the words you do not yet have? What do you need to say?” How would you respond to her? Do you agree that language is needed for action?
