Some people ask, ‘Why the word feminist? Why not just say you are a believer in human rights, or something like that?’ Because that would be dishonest. Feminism is, of course, part of human rights in general – but to choose to use the vague expression human rights is to deny the specific and particular problem of gender. It would be a way of pretending that it was not women who have, for centuries, been excluded. It would be a way of denying that the problem of gender targets women. That the problem was not about being human, but specifically about being a female human. For centuries, the world divided human beings into two groups and then proceeded to exclude and oppress one group. It is only fair that the solution to the problem should acknowledge that.
What struck me – with her and with many other female American friends I have – is how invested they are in being ‘liked’. How they have been raised to believe that their being likeable is very important and that this ‘likeable’ trait is a specific thing. And that specific thing does not include showing anger or being aggressive or disagreeing too loudly.
Zamanının ve yazarın koşullarının ürünü olması okuma tecrübesini etkiliyor olsa da, yer yer mizahi diliyle oldukça akıcı bir kitap. Erkeklerin bizzat her birine atfettiği sorunlar, patriyarka eleştirisi olarak okunduğunda aslında oldukça ilginç gözlemleri ve çözüm önerileri var.
