RT @ilana_blum: Today at Fletcher, Dr. Cynthia Enloe discusses gender, conflict & peace. http://bit.ly/1g0vNGz #Enloechats
Cultural, structural, and financial barriers to asking feminist questions - feminist questions are about examining power #Enloechats
Listening to Cynthia Enloe @FletcherSchool w/ @rkrystalli & @Consortium_GSHR - 1st up: challenge organizational complacency #enloechats
Complacency is something you should always be curious about. #EnloeChats @FletcherSchool
"What are the barriers to asking feminist questions? What are the rewards for not asking those questions?" #Enloechats @FletcherSchool
Creating barriers to curiosity and questions as a tool of patriarchy. Interesting. #Enloechats
"What are the rewards for not asking feminist questions?"... Legitimacy, comfort and trust to name only a few. #Enloechats @FletcherSchool
Cynthia Enloe: Who do you want to be taken seriously by? If you get this wrong, you create your own barrier. #enloechats
Watch words like "reasonable" or "legitimate." Ask who controls impressions of reason or legitimacy. #Enloechats- Legitimacy is very gendered, shaped by ideas of masculinity & femininity. #EnloeChats
Cynthia Enloe: "Trustworthiness is highly gendered and highly political." #Enloechats- "If you see someone losing their legitimacy, always ask who controls legitimacy in that group." #Enloechats
Enloe_ The big question is: How is patriarchy made sustainable? #enloechats
Enloe: In a million meeting rooms every day, if feminist questions go unasked/unsupported, the roots of patriarchy grow deeper #Enloechats- RT @id_wil Enloe: Many of us stay quiet in order to gain the reward of being seen as legitimate in the eyes of people in power. #Enloechats
- Don’t let feminist question die at sight of raised eyebrows - reinforces structural constraints & validates ’norm' #enloechats #solidarity
- Enloe_ The big question is: How is patriarchy made sustainable? #enloechats
- "Nobody is made marginalized by the ether. It happens because somebody had a stake in marginalizing." -Enloe #Enloechats
- Do not use the passive tense because you hide who does what. (Yes!!) #EnloeChats
- Enloe implies that the passive tense isn't just poor writing but plays into structures of power by hiding who is responsible #Enloechats
Hearing Cynthia Enloe speak today @FletcherSchool reminds me to keep asking the tough questions. #Enloechats- When studying any country you don't know well, learn how feminists think in that country. #Enloechats
- "Don’t assume any country doesn’t have a women’s movement…people who are thinking smart, feminist thoughts. That is parochial." #Enloechats
- Learn from feminists in other places - watch Turkish and Algerian feminists. #Enloechats
- Women's groups in other countries often not taken seriously by mainstream Western media - doesn't mean they don't exist. #Enloechats
