I"ll be post-feminist in the post-patriarchy.


“By post-feminism I mean the kinds of ideas we hear mostly in Western media, popular and even political discourse, that women are now ‘free’ and ‘empowered,’ so we can now ‘have it all,’ we can now be ‘up for it’ like men, we can now ‘choose’ whatever we want. ‘Girls rule the world’ as Beyonce has told us. This can be rather hectic so we must remember to pamper ourselves at one fabulous spa or another, express our girl power by buying this makeup or that short skirt, and rejuvenate ourselves with this or that face cream or face lift ‘because we are worth it.’   -
